Panel Summary:

Industry standards have been slow to arrive on the portable electronics scene, resulting in long design cycles and closed system designs. Panelists from leading organizations will discuss current efforts to provide open standards on key hardware interfaces connecting systems such as radios, basebands, application processors, audio, cameras, displays and power systems.
