this is pretty devastating. I own the amazon kindle fire HD and am typing on it right now and it uses the TI Omap processor.I also previously used the Omap on my Galaxy Nexus and also loved it. Little lag and impressive performance.I wish them good luck in whatever they choose to do and will continue to support their products.

TI-OMAP was a very good platform. But as their main customer Nokia and RIM is not doing good, their business is also affected. I had worked on DV of OMAP 6. It is really a SAD news.

if you guys notice, the new Kindle Fires and Nooks are using TI OMAP 4470. I wonder what will happen to those.

the last Nexus was based on OMAP which means the next Nexus will be based on Qualcomm
