While Google's Android operating system has been designed mostly to be used on smartphones and other small and ultra-portable computing solutions, its range of applications is actually a lot more extensive, and Indian company Ittiam proves just that by developing an ready-to-integrate video phone running on the Android operating system.

The latest video phone offering from Ittiam delivers VGA-class communication at full frame rate H.264 and a high-definition (HD), multi-format 720p media player, supporting up to 30 frames per second.

The complete system runs seamlessly on the OMAP3530 processor from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) and can facilitate designs where portability and low power are of prime importance.

In addition, this software solution encapsulates Ittiam's proven technologies in audio video synchronization, echo cancellation, communication grade latency, interoperability and quality of service over public networks.

The video phone system enables easy integration of video communication into consumer-oriented, Android-based products, such as tablets, desktop video phones, smartphones, Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs), digital photo frames and more.

The software is designed to provide a rich, HD video entertainment experience, as well as high-quality life-like video communication.

"The Android-based video phone combines the Android user experience with Ittiam's unmatched video quality and performance on the very popular OMAP3530 processor," said Sattam Dasgupta, vice president, media streaming business, Ittiam.

"We expect the combination to spur increased adoption of video communication technologies across devices at home or work."
