Color screens, embedded cameras, Internet access, streaming media, e-mail, instant messaging, downloadable Java and MP3 music applications must all be considered in next generation systems. In delivering these new features, platform architects must determine the right mix of memory types to balance escalating performance and storage needs against unit costs.
