Emblaze Mobile, an Isreali tech co, has announced an agreement with Sharp Corporation and ACCESS to develop "a new generation of mobile devices that aims to revolutionize mobile communication".

Very little other information has been released, but industry experts, suggest that it will be a new generation of smartphone running the ACCESS Linux platform designed for smartphones.

The company hints that the device "is a result of over five years of design by Emblaze Mobile in cooperation with some of the best Israeli high-tech companies and it utilizes some of the most advanced technologies in the mobile and computing arena".

Guy Bernstein, chief executive officer of Emblaze, said: "The device represents one of the most ambitious projects in the high-tech mobile industry".

What we do know if that the device will be unveiled during 2008, so it might be a wait until we know more, but remember where you heard it first...
