Want to know what's coming soon on your mobile phone? If it has a TI OMAP 3 chip inside it, your new handset will play HD (High Definition) videos both on the handset's screen and on a HD monitor, and will also offer DVD-quality camcorder capability. All of this has been squeezed onto TI's new chip, which they've designed especially for mobile phones.

No mobile phone features this chip yet, as it's only just been released, but you can expect to appear in handsets soon, along with other chips offering similar functionality. So if your mobile phone has already made you throw away your digital camera and MP3 player, be prepared to throw out your camcorder too!
