DivX Goes Mobile

[Darius Wey]

<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://labs.divx.com/node/224?prima=mobile' target='_blank'>http://labs.divx.com/node/224?prima=mobile</a><br /><br /></div><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20060829-divx.gif" /><br /><br />DivX has just opened the doors to its DivX Mobile testing program. While <a href="http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/">TCPMP</a> handles DivX files pretty well, you may prefer to try a solution direct from the company itself. To join the program, you need either a Pocket PC or Smartphone, a data plan, a memory card, and must live in the United States or Canada. More information over at the <a href="http://labs.divx.com/node/224?prima=mobile">DivX Labs</a>.

When are companys like DivX and MS going to wake up and realise that the earth is larger than the north american continent! :evil: :roll:

I'm interested to know what's up with that exclusivity? Does DivX have some unique content provision service planned where the content is only licensed for access in North America? Hmm. :?:

If that were the case, it would be nice if it was made clear when advertising! Its not just DivX either - Microsoft and others have done this too. If there is no reasonable reason for limiting the availability to test, then I stick to my initial reaction.
