The Samsung Ultra Video (SGH-F500) Provides a Truly Multimedia Experience

DivX, Inc. announced the DivX Certification of the Samsung Ultra Video (SGH-F500) mobile phone, a revolutionary phone that features an unrivaled design and brings a superior range of multimedia experiences to consumers including high quality DivX(R) video playback. The F500 is the first mobile phone to achieve DivX Certification to ensure true interoperability between the device and the over 70 million DivX Certified consumer electronics devices in the world today.

A member of Samsung's highly popular Ultra Edition line of handsets, the F500 offers users the latest in video features with a large LCD that has a unique swivel design so video content can be watched optimally. In any viewing situation, the F500 offers unparalleled access to high quality DivX movies on the go, either from the user's own collection, from DivX's own Stage 6 video website, or through other mobile content services.

"The addition of DivX Certification to the Samsung F500 mobile handset opens a broad ecosystem of digital media that can be taken on the road while preserving the kind of high-quality experience that video aficionados demand," said Kevin Hell, President of DivX, Inc. "DivX is working to build a common digital media language that offers real interoperability across devices and platforms, and innovative devices like the Samsung Ultra F500 phone are an important piece of that ecosystem."

Products that bear the DivX Certified logo have undergone a rigorous testing program to ensure a high-quality DivX media experience, including reliable video creation and playback, interoperability with other DivX Certified devices and the visual quality users expect from DivX. The DivX Certified Samsung Ultra Video F500 phone will be available later in 2007.

Wow, so basically just has Divx codec carrying player, actually weren't there a few players that did this on phones, it was surely easy on WM5 but with Samsung's own format it should be easier and smoother. But who has time to rip the DVDs and convert them to divx now.. The demand came from the movie downloaders, I guess.. Now that studios are cracking down on downloaders, maybe they won't get the attention they expect.. :/
