Ronneby, Sweden, 11 October 2005 - At the same time, UIQ Technology is pleased to announce that UIQ 3 is today supported by the following phone platforms: Freescale Semiconductor’s MXC, Intel XScale® technology and the OMAP™ platform from Texas Instruments.

The UIQ 3 platform is an open software platform, based on Symbian OS, allowing mobile phone manufacturers to differentiate and create diversified phones, all using one single codeline. This makes it possible for licensees to create portfolios of phones from the same platform, minimizing the engineering effort and shortening the time-to-market. UIQ 3 also meets network operators’ and manufacturers’ requirements for own brand promoting and enables operators' specific service delivery.

The platforms from Freescale, Intel Corporation and Texas Instruments are designed to create new smartphones fully in line with the opportunities that the UIQ 3 software platform offers. By showing UIQ 3 running on several high-performing platforms, UIQ Technology can broaden the support to its customers and continue to accelerate the availability of UIQ based phones in the market.

“Differentiation is key in today’s highly competitive cellular marketplace,” said Berardino Baratta, director of strategy for Freescale’s Wireless and Mobile Systems Group. “Freescale’s MXC cellular platforms with UIQ allow OEMs the freedom to innovate and reduce time to market with new phone designs.”

“Intel is committed to delivering the features and applications that provide an exciting entertainment experience or productive business,” said Mark Casey, director and general manager of Intel’s Applications Processor Business Unit. “Working with UIQ Technology, we are able to provide phone manufacturers with the hardware and software solutions they need to deliver differentiated handsets as cost-effectively as possible.”

“We are very pleased that multiple handset manufacturers have selected TI’s OMAP platform for their UIQ based phones. We believe that our OMAP 2™ processors combined with UIQ 3 will deliver stunning levels of multimedia and graphics performance,” said Richard Kerslake, general manager of OMAP processors, TI’s Wireless Terminals Business Unit.

UIQ Technology, Freescale, Intel Corporation and Texas Instruments are participating in the Symbian Smartphone Show 2005 on 11-12 October at the ExCeL Centre in London.
