A number of OEMs and operators have launched MIPS-based tablets

For the past two years, MIPS has focused not only on developing new products (we have released a new generation of award-winning AptivTM processor series), but also in bringing content and applications to the growing number of MIPS-Based tablets on the market. in. Today, OEMs and operators including Philips, Aino, Tianyu, Blue Devils, Karbonn Mobiles, SpeedUp/MLW Telecom have launched MIPS-based tablets. On these tablets, you'll find a wide range of local-friendly content, as well as best-selling video games like Gameloft and, of course, the most popular apps.

Robust MIPS architecture application development capabilities

Content and applications that support the MIPS-Based platform are continuing to expand. For a long time, the vast majority of Android apps (based on Dalvik) have been able to support the MIPS-Based platform. However, for some graphics-intensive and resource-intensive applications, developers sometimes decide to use native code for optimal performance. Thanks to our investment in the Android platform, developers can get the Native Development Kit (NDK) from MIPS at the MIPS Developers website (http://developer.mips.com). But now, because of the close cooperation between MIPS and Google, developers have been able to get the full Android MDK that supports the MIPS architecture on the official Android website - this makes the new version of the application begin to support MIPS on a large scale.

Halfbrick, Opera Software, and Rightware are the leading developers starting to develop MIPS-compliant applications with the eighth edition of the NDK. Halfbrick is bringing its popular Fruit Ninja game to the MIPS platform. Opera Software's Opera Mobile browser also supports the MIPS architecture. Rightware's industry-standard mobile benchmarking software, including Basemark® ES, Basemark® GUI and Basemark® OS, is also being ported to the MIPS Android platform.

MIPS is also working with Marmalade (formerly known as Ideaworks3D), the global leader in cross-platform SDKs for native mobile applications. Major game publishers and developers around the world, including Activision, EA Mobile, PopCap, Konami, Square Enix, and Namco Bandai, have chosen Marmalade to develop applications that span smartphones, tablets and smart TV platforms. Marmalade's support for the MIPS architecture makes Draw Something, Call of Duty, Cut the Rope, Lara Croft, Need for Speed, and BackBreaker (American Football) these popular games can be brought to the MIPS device. Marmalade will launch games such as Roly Poly, Spacetap, Coconut Dodge, Tonga and Feed the Frog on Google Play, all of which natively support the MIPS architecture.

In February of this year, MIPS also partnered with Xamarin to add support for the MIPS architecture in its Android application development platform Mono. This will enable six million C# and .NET developers worldwide to develop applications for MIPS-Based Android 4.0 devices. Unity 3D's SDK is based on the Mono platform, which means that games developed with this SDK will soon run on MIPS Android devices.

Developer motivation and opportunity

Recently, MIPS and its partners jointly released the world's lowest price Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean" tablet. For the second time in a row, MIPS and partners are leading the market with the latest version of Android. Last December, MIPS and Junzheng IC jointly launched the world's first Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich tablet. The industry's first tablet PC with the new Android version offers significant market advantages, while enabling developers to benefit from smooth running on these devices. As shipments of MIPS-Based tablets continue to grow, developers can create more profitable opportunities by developing applications that support MIPS architecture.

Amit Rohatgi, vice president of MIPS Technology Mobile Solutions, said: "As of now, the market has shipped millions of MIPS-Based Android tablets, and we are working closely with customers and OEMs to bring new products to market, especially Low-cost tablets for emerging markets. These low-cost devices are expected to be quickly accepted by the market, giving developers more incentive to develop applications for the MIPS platform and reach a wider global consumer base."

We are optimistic that this growth will continue to grow! With the support of MIPS by key developers, developers will have more opportunities to develop more diverse applications for the MIPS architecture. Thanks to the excellent performance efficiency of the MIPS architecture, MIPS-Based tablets have advantages in terms of power consumption and cost savings. As the content and applications that support these devices grow, OEMs will be able to bring to the market a low-cost tablet with high-end product functionality without sacrificing performance and functionality.
