Color eReader milestone with E Ink Holdings and new design win with a top manufacturer contribute to Freescale’s leadership
Freescale Semiconductor continues as the strong market share leader in applications processors for the fast-growing eReader market. Building on the proven performance, integration and energy-efficiency of the i.MX processor family, Freescale announces its latest eReader design win and one of the industry’s first monolithic color eReader solutions in collaboration with E Ink.
Expanding its reach into the eReader market, Freescale is working with global eReading service Kobo, which uses the i.MX35 processor in its Kobo-branded eReaders. With their collection of more than 2.2 million books, newspapers and magazines, and relationships with major book and consumer electronics retailers worldwide, Kobo opens additional opportunities for Freescale’s growth in the dynamic eReader space.
The Kobo design win underscores Freescale’s continuing momentum in the eReader market. According to analyst firm In-Stat, Freescale is the worldwide leader in providing applications processors for eReader products. Published teardowns demonstrate that Freescale powers two of the top three eReaders on the market.
