NXP Semiconductors, the newly independent semiconductor company founded by Philips, launched a music phone solution to recreate the scintillating experience of a personal audio player on your phone whilst still being able to deliver up to 100 hours of playback time. Besides increased playback time, consumers will be able to enjoy other benefits of music player while simultaneously using the standard functionality of their mobile phone such as high-speed download of content.
