Nokia along with chip makers Texas Instruments (TI), STMicroelectronics (STM), and ARM today announced the formation of a new wireless industry alliance called the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) Alliance. The Alliance will recruit companies to its new phone design standard, which is an extension of TI's OMAP Interface. As part of the MIPI Alliance, the founders said that 10 working groups will be established to develop technology feature specifications in key areas such as digital cameras and screen displays. MIPI will also establish rules for developers to build products and applications that work with the new standard. The MIPI Alliance is deigned to counter both Microsoft's advances in the phone market and Qualcomm's dominance in the CDMA chip market. Microsoft is poised to make strides in the mobile phone market after almost two years of struggling to market Windows-powered handsets. Qualcomm has warned that it expects to lose CDMA chip market share next year to increased competition. Nokia, TI, and STM also formed a venture to make CDMA wireless chips earlier this year.
