NXP Software's MusicPlayer Enables Competitive and Cost Effective Music
                               Functionality

    BARCELONA, Spain, February 8 /PRNewswire/ -- NXP Software announces the
integration of its LifeVibes MusicPlayer into Samsung's new SGH-F250 mobile
phone. MusicPlayer is a unique, cost effective software mobile music
solution that enables high-end mp3 functionality on baseband platforms
without the need for a media co-processor.

    A complete, pre-integrated middleware solution, NXP Software's
MusicPlayer supports local playback, downloading and streaming, and offers
dedicated features for easy navigation. A proven, multi-standard solution,
it supports both Windows Media and 3GPP compliant playback. All this makes
it easy to design-in, lowering development risks and costs and speeding
time-to-market.

    The MusicPlayer's focus on easy access to content and synchronization
is designed to enable an enjoyable, seamless user experience. It supports
both Windows Media Digital Rights Management (WM DRM) and open-standards
OMA DRM (versions 1 and 2). Compatibility with WM DRM and Microsoft's Media
Transfer Protocol (MTP) provides access to a vast choice of songs and
playlists, along with their associated metadata. The software is also
compliant with Microsoft's PlaysForSure and Napster OTG, guaranteeing that
any compatible content will play on the phone.

    LifeVibes MusicPlayer provides comprehensive navigation controls
including: start, stop, pause, jump and next song. And by supporting
metadata, it also ensures all songs appear in the navigation regardless of
their source or where they are stored.

    A set of post-processing features ensure sparkling listening, including
a natural 3D effect for headphones and stereo-widening for true stereo
reproduction even on closely-placed speakers.

    The Samsung SGH-F250 music phone takes full advantage of all these
features with dedicated music playback navigation keys on the front and the
capability to store up to 1,500 tracks in various formats.
