\"\"<\/a>As the tech world readies itself for the unveiling of Google’s Android-based — and much-hyped — Nexus One<\/a>, MIPS Technologies Inc. this morning said it will team with a host of partners to showcase new Android-based offerings at this week’s CES. Among them are set-top boxes, a netbook and a social media center designed to enable consumers to consume and share TV content.<\/p>\n

MIPS provides processors and architectures for home entertainment, portable media and communications gadgets, and today’s announcement isn’t unexpected given the company’s well-documented plans<\/a> to bring Android to its entertainment offerings. MIPS is also using CES to tout its new membership in Adobe’s Open Screen Project, which aims to expand support for Flash <\/a>beyond the traditional Internet to phones and other connected devices. The 18-month-old project has garnered backing from a host of media and tech heavyweights, including MTV Networks, ARM, Cisco, Intel, LG Electronics and Verizon Wireless, all of which are looking to enable consumers to view web-based video on a broad range of devices, operating systems and networks.<\/p>\n
