re: GPRS Videophone Samsung has unveiled a GPRS videophone at the 3GSM World Congress in Cannes, and is demonstrating live streaming video in partnership with Emblaze Systems using a GPRS network connection from Italian operator Wind. >> Samsung Unveils GPRS Videophone Total Telecom 19 February 2002 Samsung has unveiled a GPRS videophone at the 3GSM World Congress in Cannes, and is demonstrating live streaming video in partnership with Emblaze Systems using a GPRS network connection from Italian operator Wind. The videophone offers high-speed, wireless access to music videos, Internet broadcast, animation and other motion picture in color, made possible by Emblaze's video ASIC chip. The user's "viewing experiences" eg. video size, speed and image quality, are determined by the bandwidth provided by the network. As bandwidth increases, the user can enjoy larger video size with a smoother image and better image quality. The phone is currently compatible with existing GPRS systems. In a prepared statement, Emblaze CEO Eli Reifman said: "We are proud to be demonstrating the Samsung videophone with embedded Emblaze technology running on a GPRS network for the first time at 3GSM in Cannes. For a very long time we have been saying that we are the only ones that have a commercially available product for use over current networks. We had a successful demonstration in Korea over CDMA network and we are happy to be able to show it to people over the GPRS network as well. This exciting new device is an important milestone for the burgeoning mobile media services market." Added Byung-duck Cho, senior vice president of mobile communications R&D team with Samsung Electronics: "Getting to market fast with a GPRS video handset solution has been made possible because of the productive working relationship between Emblaze and Samsung Electronics. Consumers can truly start to experience the multitude of benefits attainable with wireless high-speed multimedia service on their handsets." << - Eric -
