MVQ streaming may blow away MPEG-4
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/zd/20020221/tc_zd/5103513
MPEG-4 hasn't even really arrived, and already a company is claiming they have something better. What I find most interesting, beyond the claimed compression improvements, is the fact that the playbackl client is a 20 KB Java applet. Perhaps Java isn't so useless after all. ;-)
"Finnish developer Oplayo has been demonstrating a compression technology at the 3GSM World Congress in Cannes which, says the company, is up to ten times faster for delivering audio and video to mobile devices than MPEG-4.
Baptised MVQ (which stands for Motion Vector Quantization), the technology enables extremely light video decoding that requires a low processing power at the receiving end, making it suitable for wireless devices. Instead of using a plug-in, or a player as is the case with both Microsoft and RealNetworks technologies, Oplayo's MVQ uses a 20KB Java applet that can be transmitted to a PC, PDA or phone along with the video package.

I could be mistaken, but I'm 99% sure that the goal of MPEG4 is *not* to be a small download - instead the goal is for compressed video and audio at DVD to HDTV quality with Dolby quality 5.1 audio.
This company saying they made a video compression 10x smaller than MPEG4 is like Kia (an inexpensive car company) announcing they have a new car that 10x cheaper than a Lamborghini.

You know what? That really sounds like it will be basically animated vector graphics.

I mean, that's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's still no mpeg4 replacement.

Is Java even going to make it in future PocketPC / SmartPhone based CE OS? I doubt it since MS is fairly anti Java at this point.

If it was that silly, I'm sure it would have been discredited a long time ago... then again, who knows  .

If Java is so useless why is Microsoft's latest language C# a total clone of Java? In fact why is the entire .NET drive a mirror of J2EE from Sun?
Microsoft know how good Java is, the only problem is they can't use it without getting sued the hell out of for changing it to only work on Windows. Java is only useless in the eyes of a Microsoft person because it doesn't tie you into Windows
OBTW There is Java on the Pocket PC (www.insignia.com)

That may be true, but Java is still the Devil.
