Hi! Am not sure if this falls into your area of expertise but I was looking for some information on the OMAP Business Model and how various players play their role and who is who's customer.I dont know whether its just me,I found it very confusing! (Lets just look at one of the Application which uses OMAP-The Cell Phones) 1] In the one end, I see TI --who are the Architect of this technology -- and on the other end I see the *consumers* of this technology--Nokia and then the end customers! Now where do all these OTC's (Independent OMAP Technology Centers) ,ODN's (OMAP developers network) etc figure? 2]How many layers are there between TI & Nokia here? (My understanding is OTC-OMAP Technology enablers,ODN- Alg. Developers) Are there any other players other than TI->OTC->ODN->OEM(Nokia)->End Customers? Or am i looking for a non existent simplistic view that my mind craves for? 3] If I have to write an application, lets say a game, for OMAP do I need to know about OMAP architecture? I guess not, but the reason I ask is then does that mean that there are this huge majority of companies who are OMAP business benefeciaries without actually either working on OMAP or enabling OMAP.The largest chink of revenues are likely to go these apps developers.Iam not getting this.Something seems wrong. 4] Basically, am trying to figure out the System Intergrators, algorithm writers,application developers and component makers (the terms i found in some app notes) etc...Is there any presentation or doc for that kind of business perspective on OMAP? or can someone be *cool* enough to give me some *gyan* (Gyan= "The cool lecture on the Truth" in sanskrit,btw) I guess you can see where am coming from here, we are trying to find our feet here in OMAP and we dont know as yet where and who the customer is! --Bhooshan ------------------------------- "I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career.
