MENLO PARK, Calif., Jan. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Droplet Technology, Inc.
today began a 4-day showcase of the company's 3G personal mobile video
services at CES 2008 (January 7-10, Meeting Room #70127, Sands Expo &
Convention Center, Las Vegas). Personal mobile video services provide
real-time or non-real-time exchange of user-generated or user-selected
video, with at least one mobile handset involved.
At CES 2008, Droplet is showcasing video services running live on
off-the-shelf commercial handsets over multiple 3G wireless (AT&T
HSDPA/UMTS and Verizon EV-DO) and Wi-Fi networks, including:
-- video capture, instant sharing, upload, and messaging
-- automated video editing, multimedia mash-ups, and streaming
-- one-to-one video chat and multi-party video conferencing
-- direct-to-subscriber deployment via all-software handset client
download
-- browser-based video player, eliminating transcoding and enhancing both
device and network interoperability.
Droplet's patented breakthroughs in all-software video processing and
video communications eliminate the traditional hardware costs,
complexities, and constraints that limit today's video-enabled devices and
services. This approach allows Droplet to deliver personal mobile video
services with higher-quality video capture and playback, video editing and
sharing, and video communications functionality, via all-software client or
browser applications, into a much wider range of lower-cost, higher-volume
handset platforms than is otherwise commercially feasible. These same
technology breakthroughs have also been incorporated into Droplet's video
server applications, significantly reducing the cost and complexity of the
infrastructure required to deploy video communications, business
collaboration, entertainment, and social networking applications over
wireless networks and the Internet.
According to John Ralston, Droplet's President and CEO: "CES 2008 marks
a milestone in Droplet's commitment to provide converged and truly open
personal mobile video services that can work on any wireless network, and
with any mobile device or PC. Utilizing a single all-software video service
platform, Droplet has unified mobile video communications and
user-generated video services that otherwise require multiple disparate
hardware and software platforms, and cannot be deployed without extensive
handset manufacturer and operator intervention. By demonstrating
direct-to-subscriber service deployment with off-the-shelf commercial
handsets, multiple handset operating systems, and multiple 3G operators,
Droplet has delivered, to both users and service providers, a far more
powerful vision for 'open' mobile and Internet video services."
