More than a year ago, we wrote about MagnaChip and their AMOLED display solution for high-end handsets. They’re out with something what seems even better. The EA8850 is their new high-end WVGA resolution supported AMOLED driver chip, which should apparently give way to more high resolution handsets in the mobile market.
The EA8850 supports WVGA resolution and at the same time it can also sing along with nHD resolutions, which is used on the Nokia’s 5800 XpressMusic and N97 smartphones. The chip also supports Qualcomm’s Mobile display digital interface (MDDI) 1.2 technology.
Other features of the MagnaChip EA8850 include support for 16 million colors, automatic brightness control and smart mobile current control.
No exact dates were given, but we’re hoping major handset makers are already on MagnaChip’s list, waiting to grab the EA8850 and integrate it into their [handset maker's] upcoming products. We’ll see…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
