Apple will release one of the most highly touted cell phones in history this week. And by next year, those first iPhones will likely be woefully outdated.

Chipmaker Texas Instruments is in the middle of ramping up for the release of its third-generation OMAP processor, a platform for cell phones. Cell phones containing OMAP 3 will hit the market in 2008, according to Avner Goren, TI's worldwide director of cellular systems marketing.

And what will OMAP 3 phones have? High-definition video--720x1368-pixel resolution--at the high end, he said. The cameras on the phones will also be capable of shooting 12 megapixels of photos per second. That can be divided up into one 12-megapixel shot, or four 3-megapixel shots taken in burst mode.
