    BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 12 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Aplix
Corporation (TSE: 3727) announced today that the company's
JBlend(TM) Java(TM) platform supports the new OMAP3430
multimedia application processor from Texas Instruments
Incorporated (TI).  As the first product in TI's OMAP(TM) 3
processor family, the OMAP3430 elevates the 3G mobile phone
into a personal and professional tool that allows customers
to integrate work and entertainment into one device. 
JBlend's leading support for TI's new processor was
realized through the joint efforts of TI and Aplix.

Jazelle RCT (Runtime Compiler Target).  JBlend utilizes the
underlying processor technologies to improve the overall
memory footprint and performance, making it one of the most
optimized Java solutions for the OMAP platform.  Based on
Symbian 9.2 OS, the "JBlend-on-OMAP3430"
demonstration will be exhibited in TI's booth #8A84 at 3GSM
World Congress 2007.

on the OMAP3430 processor to deliver high performance
multimedia applications for 3G mobile phones," said
