        According to a report at DeviceForge.com, Freescale Semiconductor has sampled a new, highly integrated mobile phone component to former parent and number-two worldwide handset maker, Motorola. The postage-stamp-sized multi-chip-module is based on Freescale's Mobile Extreme Convergence (MXC) architecture, initially announced by Motorola in October, 2003.


        MXC is capable of endowing MP3 players, handheld DVD players, and digital cameras with smartphone functionality, according to Freescale.
