BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 12 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Aplix Corporation (TSE: 3727) announced today that the company’s JBlend(TM) Java(TM) platform supports the new OMAP3430 multimedia application processor from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI). As the first product in TI’s OMAP(TM) 3 processor family, the OMAP3430 elevates the 3G mobile phone into a personal and professional tool that allows customers to integrate work and entertainment into one device. JBlend’s leading support for TI’s new processor was realized through the joint efforts of TI and Aplix.
