Wind River Demonstrates Open Handset Alliance Android Platform on STMicroelectronics Nomadik(R) Application Processor

Wind River Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:WIND), the global leader in
Device Software Optimization (DSO), announced today that it has
partnered with STMicroelectronics to demonstrate the Open Handset
Alliance´s Android platform, which is currently available as an ´early
look´ release. The demonstration will show Android on the
STMicroelectronics Nomadik family of multimedia application processor
chips at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. STMicroelectronics
selected Wind River to port, integrate, test and optimize Android onto
Nomadik because of Wind River´s role as a Linux Commercialization
Partner for the Open Handset Alliance and its experience porting the
Android platform to new architectures.

"Wind River´s commercialization expertise in mobile Linux
unleashes the potential of our hardware to power this next generation
mobile development platform," said Monica de Virgiliis, General
Manager of the Wireless Multimedia Division at STMicroelectronics.
"Our innovative Nomadik architecture and multimedia chips are designed
to deliver today´s active information and entertainment experiences on
energy-sensitive mobile platforms. The demonstration at Mobile World
Congress exemplifies the value of our technology and our commitment to
showcasing our wares on demanding next generation software
environments."

The Nomadik application processors are designed specifically for
mobile devices, using an on-chip multi-processor distributed
architecture to deliver unsurpassed audio, video and imaging quality,
with ultra-low power consumption for longer battery life. Simplified
software development leads to shorter time-to-market for products such
as smart phones, multimedia feature phones, personal digital
assistants (PDA), Internet appliances and car entertainment systems,
with scalability to cater for multiple market segments and future
multimedia applications.

Open Handset Alliance device manufacturers and other OEMs can work
with Wind River to port the Android platform onto their respective
hardware platforms and optimize it based on their specific
requirements to deliver the greatest levels of silicon performance,
including any necessary tuning of the Linux kernel. Additionally, Wind
River provides the Linux support necessary for OEMs and ISVs to
complete their integrations quickly and effectively, dramatically
simplifying the development and distribution of mobile applications.
As a result, Linux-based phones and devices will be brought to market
faster with lower bill of material costs.

"We are seeing tremendous interest in the Android platform from
OEMs, silicon vendors and device manufacturers," said Jason Whitmire,
general manager of mobile solutions, Wind River. "As the mobile
industry continues to evolve, we anticipate a continued push for an
open, standards-based Linux platform. Wind River´s expertise in
bringing Linux-based devices to market offers handset manufacturers an
added level of confidence knowing we can help bring their device to
market faster, better and at lower cost."
