"DivX, Inc. (NASDAQIVX), a digital media company, today announced certification of the Samsung Omnia (model: SGH-i900), the newest handset in a growing series of DivX Certified(R) mobile products by Samsung Electronics Co., LTD. DivX and Samsung recently entered into a multi-year agreement to include DivX encode and decode capabilities into Samsung's future mobile phones, signaling the company's leading edge in the competitive mobile market. The Samsung Omnia is the first Windows Mobile-based DivX Certified phone on the market and the fourth Samsung mobile to achieve DivX Certification(TM). It features 8GB/16GB of internal memory with a micro SD slot, allowing users to keep a media library on the device, and easily enjoy their video on a large 3.2-inch touch screen. It also features a TV-Out feature to play back content from the phone directly on the television screen. This powerful experience and a portable library gives users the choice of how and where to watch their video. DivX technology enables a high-quality media experience in which video content can be seamlessly transferred from the PC to the mobile environment and beyond... 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."



Good news: the Omnia is the first Windows Mobile phone and Samsung's fourth mobile phone to receive DivX certification. And in other news, the rest of us with uncertified devices love TCPMP and CorePlayer Mobile.

What are the chances of seeing this in the USA (without being crippled down) and how will this be priced out?
