These will allow users of phones, equipped with built-in cameras, to send, receive and watch video on them. The Toshiba chips will combine an MPEG-4 encoder and decoder, a speech encoder and decoder, an audio and video multiplexer and 12Mb of DRAM which the company reckons will double a phones battery life. Video conferencers or video messagers should see images of 144 by 176 pixels running at 15 frames per second. Samples will start shipping in late April. ®
