NEW ORLEANS, LA -- In a move that epitomized the converged-wireless theme of this year's CTIA show in New Orleans, Texas Instruments' president and CEO Tom Engibous used the opening keynote to announce a tri-wireless PDA concept design called Wanda that incorporates the golden trifecta of GSM/GPRS, wireless LAN and Bluetooth connectivity.
The OMAP-based PocketPC device uses a modular format such that one, two or all three of the connectivity options can be incorporated. Wanda signifies what Engibous said will be the type of functionality that will be the big driver for the electronics industry during the latter half of this decade.
