the high-quality technology they would expect from a mobile phone
with an advanced feature set," said Younghee Lee, Vice President of
Marketing for Samsung�s Telecommunication Business. "Samsung will
continue to provide a flexible, enjoyable multimedia experience to
our consumers with DivX on our mobile devices. It was of strategic
importance to continue our relationship with DivX, for value added
not only in the Omnia, but throughout the Samsung mobile line.� "As
the availability and creation of video content explodes, being able
to take videos from the PC on-the-go and from the mobile to the
living room is of increasing importance to consumers,� said Kevin
Hell, CEO at DivX, Inc. "Samsung has recognized that DivX allows
users to do more with their media, and we�re pleased that Samsung
has continued to expand DivX certification to their mobile
devices." Products that bear the DivX Certified logo have undergone
a rigorous testing program to ensure a high-quality DivX media
experience, including reliable video creation and playback,
interoperability with other DivX Certified devices and the visual
quality users expect from DivX. The DivX Certified Omnia launches
