E-cast: Android Migration at the Speed of Light

Android, an open source software platform for mobile devices, is rapidly penetrating a mobile industry that is in a state of flux. Customers are demanding smartphone functionality at featurephone prices. Price and availability of applications are becoming a central aspect of market competition. Integrating Android with existing hardware and software, quickly and at the lowest possible cost, represents both a challenge and an opportunity. OEMs and ODMs that rise to the challenge will be first to market with lower cost mobile phones, offering users the benefits available from the growing library of Android applications, while passing cost savings on to MNOs.

This webinar examines how OKL4, a microkernel-based embedded hypervisor enables a system architecture that dramatically eases migration to Android – the hottest new mobile device software platform – allowing developers to maintain existing investments, reduce development overhead, speed time to market, satisfy customer demand, and do it all on a lower cost, single core device.
