Freescale whose i.MX31 processor is used in a variety of eBook readers is now focusing on the next big thing after netbooks, the Smartbooks. According to folks at Freescale, there is a clear and strong demand for low cost device that is always connected and sports all-day battery life.

Here, they are not talking about mobile phones, but of a device with a bit bigger and higher resolution displays; smaller than the conventional netbooks, but bigger than the smartphones.

“Even in a vibrant space like smart mobile devices, Freescale is growing faster than the market,” said Henri Richard, senior vice president of Sales and Marketing for Freescale. “Consumer electronics are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and this plays to Freescale’s traditional strengths of proven power management expertise, exceptional processing performance and outstanding price-to-performance ratios.”
