DivX Labs has officially released version 1.0 of its DivX Mobile Player for all S60 3rd Edition and 5th Edition smartphones. The official word says this release has “numerous updates and simplifications to the UI” while also packing the touchscreen support for S60 5th Edition users.

More from the announcement:

Even if your phone isn’t officially DivX Certified, you may still be able to watch DivX videos by downloading and installing the DivX Mobile Player. Find out below if your phone supports the DivX Mobile Player and follow the link to download according to your phone’s operating system.

From what we’ve heard don’t expect to be able to play the “regular DivX file” you usually play on your computer with DivX Mobile Player. Some conversion will most likely be required, due to limited processor speed in most Symbian handsets. That shouldn’t be the problem, however, as DivX Labs is also offering converters you could use…

So what are you waiting for? If you own an S60-powered smartphone (Nokia, Samsung or Sony Ericsson), hop over to this page and grab the file for your device. It’s free after all. ;)
