Sega Enterprises, makers of the Dreamcast games console, has teamed up with Motorola to jointly develop mobile phones that can access the internet.
The two companies will develop software enabling mobile phones to process internet data at high speeds using aspects of the technology found in Sega's Dreamcast console. The phones are slated for launch late next year.
Sega and Motorola will also work on bringing games suites to Java-enabled wireless phones, pagers and digital assistants.
The devices will use the J2ME Java 2 platform developed by Motorola in close co-operation with Sun Microsystems. J2ME has been designed to deploy applications for wireless devices without the expensive and time-consuming necessity of rewriting or re-compiling applications for each device.
Sega is hoping the partnership will help revive its fortunes through internet-related business built on the Dreamcast entertainment platform.
