<\/a>(SINGAPORE, June 1, 2011) <\/strong>MediaTek Inc, a leading manufacturer of semiconductors for wireless communications and Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:\u00a0 YHOO), the premier digital media company, today announced a global partnership that will embed Yahoo!\u2019s services into MediaTek\u2019s mobile platform solutions. MediaTek is the world\u2019s largest mobile chipset maker and in 2010, the company shipped over 500 million units for assembly into a wide range of mobile phones distributed worldwide.<\/p>\nYahoo! will be MediaTek\u2019s first global mobile service partner to deliver mobile Internet services including Yahoo! Messenger, News, Finance, Weather, Mail and other Yahoo! popular services on MediaTek\u2019s MAUI Runtime Environment (MRE). MRE is MediaTek\u2019s new middleware technology designed for mobile developers to deploy services and content for \u2018Smart-Feature phones.\u2019<\/p>\n
With the launch of the MRE technology and the partnership with Yahoo! and MediaTek, the market can expect more \u2018Smart-Feature phones\u2019 to be available at an affordable price. This partnership will also allow users of handsets powered by MediaTek\u2019s System on Chips to easily discover and connect with Yahoo! through its best-in-class products, content, tools and services and help them get the most of the digital world. MediaTek has been working closely with leading handset brands such as Cherry Mobile, Spice Group, Spice CSL and Nexian to develop products based on the MRE technology and it is in ongoing discussions with other brands.<\/p>\n
According to Ming-Kai Tsai, Chairman of MediaTek, \u201cMediaTek has redefined the mobile landscape through our partnership with Yahoo!. By integrating Yahoo! services into our mobile platform solutions, we are providing our customers and end users with access to the best experience for hugely popular Yahoo! services like Messenger, Mail, News, Weather and much more. \u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOur collaboration with Yahoo! makes it more convenient for handset manufacturers to accelerate their speed to market and to reduce their deployment cost of those popular services. This is a significant milestone and a win-win for all parties who can now capitalize on the high growth rate of feature phones happening around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rose Tsou, Senior Vice President of Yahoo! Asia Pacific said, \u201cThe mobile Internet presents a wealth of opportunity for Yahoo! and our partnership with MediaTek will further connect us with our audiences in growing markets such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam and India where new to Internet users are coming online for the first time through their mobile devices.\u201d<\/p>\n
The MediaTek and Yahoo! product development roadmap covers MRE, widget capable \u2018Smart Feature phones\u2019 and the Android platform. Services included in the roadmap are Yahoo! Messenger, Mail, News, Weather, Finance, Cricket, Flickr and Answers. More services will be added in the future.
