(NASDAQ:DIVX) today announced the launch of a program that will enable consumers to easily discover, share and playback high-quality video on a variety of mobile devices. The centerpiece of the DivX® mobile solution is a comprehensive licensing and testing program that ensures a high-quality media experience for increasingly powerful mobile phones. Joining over 100 million DivX Certified® products including DVD players and other living room devices, DivX partner Samsung Electronics has already released the first DivX Certified mobile handsets. Additionally, DivX launched a beta mobile content and software solution that enables consumers to experience high-quality video content across the PC, the living room and on-the-go. By utilizing DivX Converter, a one-step video software application available on DivX.com, users can easily convert virtually any digital video into a "DivX Mobile" video that is compatible with any DivX Certified mobile device. Consumers who do not own a DivX Certified mobile device can download the beta DivX Mobile Player (mobile.divx.com) which will support the playback of DivX content on certain mobile devices. The DivX mobile offering also includes a beta version of a video content site (mm.divx.com) where consumers can easily browse and enjoy high-quality DivX videos from a variety of sources formatted for direct viewing on a DivX enabled mobile device."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20060829-divx.gif" /><br /><br />It's been an age since we last <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/index.php?action=expand,50925">posted</a> on DivX Mobile. The company <a href="http://www.divx.com/company/press/press_detail.php?pr_id=262">recently announced</a> that the program is progressing and that the first wave of DivX Certified mobile devices have already hit the market. Unfortunately, that doesn't include most current-day Pocket PCs and Smartphones, but we're not out of luck. The DivX Mobile player, which supports all flavours of Windows Mobile from 2003 to 6, can be downloaded from <a href="http://mobile.divx.com/">here</a>. And of course, there are always third-party solutions such as <a href="http://www.coreplayer.org/">CorePlayer</a>. If you give the former a spin, be sure to post your thoughts here.
