Hsichih, Taiwan and Campbell CA - 6.16.2006

AnexTEK Global Inc. today announced that their moboDA family of smart phones will come bundled with VisualOn Inc.’s “Media Player Plus” solution. The combined solution will allow moboDA smart phone users to playback “iPod quality” audio and video without a significant reduction in battery life, enabling the highest quality multimedia experience yet available on smart phones.  The new moboDA smart phones are immediately available.

VisualOn’s Media Player Plus software application supports popular video formats such as  H.264, MPEG4 ,H.263 and WMV and popular audio formats such as AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, MP3, AMR and WMA.  VisualOn’s multimedia software turns the moboDA smart phones into high-quality portable media players, ideal for enjoying full action movies, TV shows, music videos, sports and news highlights on the go.

VisualOn’s unique patent-pending technology is targeted for mobile devices and is highly optimized for performance and power efficiency.  It enables the moboDA smart phones to playback full screen video/audio contents at 30 frames per second for over five hours.  Apple’s video iPod by comparison has a battery life of about three hours.

The phones also include a feature to change the screen from vertical to horizontal presentation for a widescreen viewing experience.

They are one of the few mobile phones on the market that support the H.264 video standard, used in advanced multimedia applications such as iPod video file, mobile TV, video streaming and VOD”, said Alex Kou, President of AnexTEK. “VisualOn’s multimedia software ensures the highest quality multimedia experiences for our customers without sacrificing our battery life.”

“VisualOn is proud to provide the multimedia software solution for AnexTEK’s moboDA smart phones, enabling the highest quality multimedia experiences on mobile phones.  Historically, this level of quality was not considered possible without dedicated costly hardware.  Working closely with AnexTek we have proven it is possible to play “iPod” quality video and audio on smart phones with a software based solution”, said Yang Cai, President of VisualOn. "Our job is to work closely with industry leaders such as AnexTEK to bring high-quality, power-efficient multimedia solutions to the mobile community.
