Texas Instruments has been busy making the sequel to the OMAP3 chipset, which powers the Droid and Palm Pre, among others. The sucessor is the OMAP4 chipset- which has insanely fast performance and 145 hours of battery life. TI went as far as to make a demo device with two screens, Android, pico projector, 12MP camera, and HDMI out to show the potential of the chipset. The demo device can also shoot 1080P video and universal decoding, impressive for any smartphone. The chipset will be destined to compete with the Apple A4, and Tegra 2 in the mobile category in the near future. Launch date is sometime late this year or early 2011.

And did we mention that its dual core? It sports a dual core 1Ghz processor, far better than anything on the market today. But, of course, by 2011 we’ll have advanced greatly in mobile processors. Only time will tell if it will live up to its current hype.
