SAN DIEGO, Oct. 4, 2001--PacketVideo Corp., the recognized leader in advanced technologies for wireless multimedia communications, today announced that its standards-compliant PVPlayer(TM) decoding software will support the new Microsoft Windows-Powered Pocket PC 2002 platform.

PVPlayer, one component of PacketVideo's PVPlatform(TM) end-to-end wireless multimedia solution, decodes rich digital media for viewing on mobile information devices. PVPlayer is designed to support multiple platforms, including Microsoft's Pocket PC 2002, and is capable of decoding digital media delivered over any wireless data network. PacketVideo's PVPlayer has been operating on the Pocket PC platform for two years and has already shipped with more than one million Pocket PC devices. PacketVideo's technology enables wireless phones, PDAs and laptops to send and receive both live and pre-recorded rich multimedia, including one- and two-way video, high-quality audio, animation and graphics.

"PacketVideo's innovative technology improves workforce productivity in areas such as public safety/remote surveillance, government, training and retail as well as provides a compelling consumer experience for mobile information, communication and entertainment applications," said Fernando Corona, senior vice president of marketing for PacketVideo. "The heightened need for personal connectivity amongst mobile users has accelerated the need for rich media services enabled by PacketVideo's multimedia communications platform."

PacketVideo's technology can be utilized over a variety of networks, such as today's 802.11 wireless Local Area Networks (LANs); cellular networks, such as CDMA and GPRS; Personal Area Networks (PAN), like Bluetooth; and other future generation mobile networks.

"Pocket PC 2002 has a great advantage in the marketplace because it is designed to be the most connected and expandable PDA available," said Chris Hill, product manager for the mobility division at Microsoft Corp.
