/> The IS03 is based on the Android™ 2.1 operating system and allows users to enjoy dozens of Android applications. It offers e-mail support, fast web browsing, GPS support, infrared communications and a 9.6 megapixel camera.

The TrueTouch controller families adapted by IS03 offer an integrated analog sensing engine for the industry’s fastest and most accurate touchscreen user experience. This responsiveness allows tracking of multiple fingers simultaneously with precise x-y locations and without user delays or problems with erroneous “ghost” responses. The devices also offer Cypress’s legendary noise immunity and very low power consumption – an ideal combination for today’s smartphone market.

“The IS03 is a very hot product in Japan for good reason,” said Norm Taffe, executive vice president of Cypress’s Consumer and Computation Division. “It’s a great combination of a smartphone with the advanced features that Japanese mobile users have come to expect. We’re pleased that Sharp continues to count on TrueTouch to deliver accurate and responsive touchscreens for their customers.”

“We are proud of continuing relationship with leading company such as Sharp.” said Hitoshi Yoshizawa, Japan country manager for Cypress. “We will continue to provide the best solutions and support to help them create outstanding products.”
