PacketVideo Is Founding Member of the Open Handset Alliance

(Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
In a major step forward for the rapid development of mobile media
devices, PacketVideo Corp. (PV) has joined the Open Handset Alliance as
a founding member, along with more than 30 other industry leaders. PV,
a subsidiary of NextWave Wireless, is a creator of embedded software
solutions that run the world's leading mobile entertainment services.

PV is responsible for the multimedia sub-system to the Android
platform, providing the essential media features for media device
development. This includes the software code that enables playing and
streaming standard formats, recording of images and video. This
open-sourced code is called OpenCORE and will be distributed as part of
the planned Android software developer's kit (SDK) offered by the
Alliance.

From OpenCORE, Alliance developers will be able to build devices that
support music applications, video creation and playback, podcast
services, real-time streaming and more.

"PV is a company whose legacy is rooted in making the highest quality
entertainment services available to the mobile user," said James C.
Brailean, Ph.D. "We chose to be a part of the Open Handset Alliance to
stimulate development of mobile media devices because entertainment
should extend to where the consumer wants it and increasingly that's
outside the home.

"Collaborative development has always been a positive force in the
mobile industry," said Brailean. "PV's collaborative spirit started
with our role in international standards bodies to evolve how media is
delivered in the mobile environment, and continues with the Alliance."

PV, a subsidiary of NextWave Wireless, is the software company powering
mobile multimedia services.
