HD coming to cell phones

Texas Instruments announced that it has developed a new mobile phone chip that will allow users to download movies and television programs onto their phones and watch them on a high-definition screen, reports Knight Ridder Newspapers.

Users will also be able to hook up their phones to TVs or other projectors and play their stored videos.

The new mobile phone processor chip - which will also be able to capture 12-megapixel digital still pictures - will be available to phone makers later this year for testing in new phone designs, TI said.

The company added that volume production of the chips is scheduled for 2007. "
