PC World is reporting that due to a new chip developed by PortaPlayer and supposedly to be used in future iPods, the MP3 players battery life will last longer.
“PortalPlayer has begun shipping a new processor, the PP5022 System-on-chip (SoC).
This is the next generation of the processor IPods use today–and needs a lot less power to run. PortalPlayer claims devices using the new processor could benefit from three times their current battery life.
PortalPlayer’s vice president of sales and marketing Michael Maia says: “Our goal with the PP5022 was to offer a solution that balances lowest operating power while continuing to increase system performance.”
