DivX and WiMax in Samsung Mondi

Samsung has launched the first WiMax enabled mobile Internet device to support DivX video decoding. The Samsung Mondi sports a 4.3in touch screen, 4Gbytes of storage with microSD expansion and WiFI and WiMax wireless networking. It runs Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system.
DivX technology produces highly compressed video suitable for mobile platforms that require minimal storage for the highest quality experience possible. Using the Mondi's large 4.3-inch touch screen, consumers will be able to playback DivX video stored on the device's internal 4GB memory or on additional microSD flash cards.
"Supporting high-resolution, high-quality video playback on new and emerging mobile devices is one element of our strategy to enable a seamless, end-to-end solution for digital media," said Kevin Hell, Chief Executive Officer at DivX. "The Mondi joins a broad array of other DivX Certified Samsung consumer electronics devices that are a part of the DivX ecosystem. We look forward to partnering with Samsung to bring our robust, high-quality DivX video solution to their next generation of mobile devices, digital TVs, and Blu-ray players."
The Mondi follows on from the Omnia, Samsung's first DivX mobile phone, launched in November last year, but Nokia also has a WiMax-enabled (but not DivX) phone in the N810.
