m-Vision video delivery system now live on Microsoft Smartphone February 19, 2004 [MS Smartphone] | By anonymous 1. m-Vision for Windows Mobile Smartphone is live as of today for downloading by the public [...] Microsoft targets to capture 5 % of the mobile handset market with devices running Windows Mobile. More info follows. * * * * * The Board of Directors of GoConnect Ltd is pleased to advise that the Company’s patented video delivery system, GoTrek, which was first extended to the mobile device environment in June 2003 and branded as m-Vision for the Windows Mobile operating system for Pocket PC and Pocket PC phone, has now been successfully extended to the Microsoft Windows Mobile for Smartphone. The Company’s R&D team has successfully completed this development in just less than 9 months. m-Vision for Windows Mobile Smartphone is live as of today for downloading by the public from anywhere in the world from www.m-vision.tv . Owners of the Smartphone can now receive and watch a range of free and subscription video infotainment from GoConnect on their Smartphone from anywhere in the world. Smartphone that runs Microsoft Windows Mobile operating system is the primary device introduced by Microsoft in order for it to capture a significant share of the mobile phone operating system market. Windows Mobile is directly competitive with the Symbian operating system supported by Nokia and a number of other major mobile phone vendors. In August 2003, Motorola, the second largest mobile phone vendor in the world, announced the sale of its 19 % stake in the Symbian consortium. Since Motorola’s subsequent confirmation of its support for the Windows Mobile operating system with the introduction of the Motorola Smartphone, the MPx200, the mobile phone industry has started to take Microsoft’s entry into the industry seriously. The Smartphone, with a size comparable to the average mobile phone handset, has been gaining increasing support by mobile operators around the world since its introduction in late 2003. With over 500 million units of mobile handsets sold per annum, we can safely assume that Microsoft will invest heavily to ensure its success in capturing a major share of the operating systems that power the mobile phone handsets of the future. Mr Bill Gates has also publicly stated that within the next two years, Microsoft targets to capture 5 % of the mobile handset market with devices running Windows Mobile. In order to realize this objective, Microsoft will need to ensure that there will be an increasing number of compelling applications which can be installed on the Smartphone, and which will attract the mobile phone consumers. Based on internal research of the Company, GoConnect believes that games and video infotainment will be two of the key drivers of consumer interests in future mobile handset sales. While there are a number of games developers around the world who have started to extend their games to mobile devices that are compatible with Windows Mobile, GoConnect’s research shows that other than m-Vision, there is as yet no video delivery and management system to the Windows Mobile powered Smartphone. Now that m-Vision for the Smartphone is live, and is available for the public to download and access video infotainment on their Smartphone, as well as on the Pocket PC and Pocket PC phone, GoConnect has a unique and early-mover advantage to promote the adoption of m-Vision as the standard video delivery and management system for Windows Mobile powered devices. To download and install m-Vision, owners of Smartphone, Pocket PC and Pocket PC phone can visit www.m-vision.tv. Credit: Richard Li from GoConnect Ltd.
