- In the future, an optional DLP Pico projection module will be available, taking mobile content from "tiny screen" viewing to a shareable "big screen" format.
Benefits of developing on the Zoom OMAP34x-II MDP include:
- Development platform and debugging tools.
- Small, portable form factor that replicates a real-world mobile environment.
- Integrated hardware and software.
- Platform for creating new user experiences due to the combination of an OMAP3430 processor, multi-touch display, peripheral set and new sensor technology.
