BARCELONA, Spain — ST-Ericsson's previously heralded demonstration of the Symbian operating system running on a dual-core Cortex-A9 processor platform did not, after all, make it to the Mobile World Congress or even to Barcelona.
ST-Ericsson had promised the demonstration would happen (see ST-Ericsson set to show multiprocessing Cortex-A9 running Symbian OS).
If it had taken place on schedule on Tuesday (Feb. 17) it would have been an interesting counter-point to the OMAP-4 from Texas Instruments which launched here Tuesday. Of course, OMAP-4 was also here only in spirit as the platform and development tools are not expected to sample until the second half of 2009, with production expected by the second half of 2010.
