Overview

With the constant development of new Internet services, such as YouTube, Facebook, MySpace, Google Maps, Skype, Chat and Gmail, it is clear that the future of mobile computing rests in devices that are truly mobile, always connected and providing a rich Internet browsing experience - ARM calls these devices Mobile Internet Devices (MID). MIDs are already evolving to enable consumers to take their “mobile world” with them, wherever they go. By providing high performance, low power solutions, ARM is enabling its partner base to create the most innovative and advanced products in this space. As the MID market expands ARM will continue to ensure that the key technologies are available to support its partners and their customers.

ARM Powered Products

ARM licenses the intellectual property that powers MIDs. This includes all the technology required by the chips at the heart of these devices: the microprocessor, digital signal processing, embedded memory, graphics acceleration, fabric interconnect and embedded software technologies alongside a complete range of software development tools.
