VirtualLogix, Inc., a leading provider of Real-Time Virtualization technology for mobile handsets, today announced that its VLX™ software solution for mobile handsets has been selected by ST-Ericsson for their new low-cost Android-ready smartphone platform.

“Our relationship with ST-Ericsson continues to grow and our VLX software integrated in their reference designs represents another milestone for our mobile virtualization software,” said Glenda Dorchak, vice chairman and CEO, VirtualLogix. “We are proud to support ST-Ericsson’s mainstream solutions for the mobile handset marketplace.”

Incorporating VLX into ST-Ericsson’s affordable reference platforms extends the relationship announced a year ago. VirtualLogix is providing important functionality which results in greater design flexibility and enables the delivery of Android-based solutions.
