Samsung Ultra Video SGH-F500 Mobile Phone Gets DivX Certification

DivX Inc. announced the DivX Certification of the Samsung Ultra Video (SGH-F500) mobile phone, which features an unrivaled design and brings a superior range of multimedia experiences to consumers including high-quality DivX video playback.

The SGH-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 Ultra Edition line of handsets, the SGH-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 phone is said to offer unparalleled access to high-quality DivX movies on the go, either from the user's own collection, from DivX's own Stage 6 video Web site, or through other mobile content services.

"The addition of DivX Certification to the Samsung SGH-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 SGH-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 SGH-F500 phone will be available later in 2007.

About DivX, Inc.

DivX creates products and services designed to improve the experience of media. Our first product offering was a video compression-decompression software library, or codec, which has been actively sought out and downloaded over 200 million times in the last four years, including over 60 million times during the last twelve months. We have since built on the success of our codec with other consumer software, including the DivX Player application, which is distributed from our website, http://DivX.com. We also license our technologies to consumer hardware device manufacturers and certify their products to ensure the interoperable support of DivX-encoded content. In addition to technology licensing to consumer hardware device manufacturers, we currently generate revenue from software licensing, advertising and content distribution.
