SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 26, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MIPS
Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:MIPS), a leading provider of
industry-standard processor architectures and cores for digital home,
networking and mobile applications, announced today that it has
official source access to Android(TM) 3.0 also known as "Honeycomb."
MIPS Technologies is now porting this newest version of Android to the
MIPS(R) architecture. For MIPS licensees and their customers who want
to produce Android compatible devices, this will accelerate development
of tablets and Google TV products based on the MIPS architecture.

"The Android platform has been a game-changer for MIPS Technologies.
When we first began working with Android, we focused on opportunities
in devices beyond the mobile handset, and indeed we have already seen
MIPS-Based televisions, set-top boxes and other products in the market
based on Android. Android also opened the door for MIPS to enter the
mobile market, and we recently showed the first MIPS-Based handsets and
tablets. We are excited to continue our work with Android and enable
our licensees to quickly bring to market next-generation products with
Honeycomb," said Art Swift, vice president of marketing and business
development, MIPS Technologies.
