It seems LG is not the only one which likes to certify its devices for DivX. Samsung also does that, even though we missed their releases on DivX certification. Their iPhone killer device, i900 Omnia, is the first DivX certified Windows Mobile smartphone. And while I’m not sure that will help them boost sales, I sure hope that will help (not that I have anything against the iPhone).
The Samsung Omnia is the first Windows Mobile-based DivX Certified phone on the market and the fourth Samsung mobile to achieve DivX Certification. It features 8GB/16GB of internal memory with a micro SD slot, allowing users to keep a media library on the device, and easily enjoy their video on a large 3.2-inch touch screen. It also features a TV-Out feature to play back content from the phone directly on the television screen. This powerful experience and a portable library gives users the choice of how and where to watch their video. DivX technology enables a high-quality media experience in which video content can be seamlessly transferred from the PC to the mobile environment and beyond.
The Samsung i900 Omnia should hit South East Asia any time soon (mid June) and European countries shortly thereafter. We’re still not aware of the price, though.
