Mio 268 GPS with Video Playback
InterVideo, a pioneer in advancing DVD and MPEG-related software technologies, announced today that Mio Technology Ltd. has chosen InterVideo and Ulead to be the providers of its multimedia solutions for the Mio 268 GPS PDA product. By incorporating InterVideo's iMobi MPEG-4 video and AAC audio codec technologies along with Ulead's video converter toolbox software, Mio Technology delivers high-quality video and audio on the Mio GPS PDA. Not a bad convergence.
The Mio 268 GPS PDA features multiple enhancements, including a next-generation GPS receiver for faster performance and a replaceable 1250 MAh battery that gives the device more hours for navigation, video and audio playback. Additionally, the new GPS device will provide consumers with high-quality audio-on-the-go MP3 playback and 30 frames per second MPEG-4 video decoding of QVGA resolution.
"We selected InterVideo's iMobi to be included in the Mio 268 GPS PDA because of InterVideo's high-quality multimedia solutions, "said Samuel Wang, President, of Mio Technology Ltd.. "We want to give our GPS customers the enjoyment of playing their MPEG-4 video/audio without any skipping or jerkiness and this experience will increase the value of our GPS devices."
In addition to InterVideo's iMobi MPEG-4 video & AAC audio codec, Mio 268 GPS PDA provides users with PC software to generate the mobile video content with Ulead Video ToolBox software. Ulead Video ToolBox is the first PC video converter with editing and sharing video for GPS, PDA or 3G-enabled mobile phones. With multiple features, users can do wonders with this product, importing and converting a variety of video formats from the Web, TV, CD/DVD for playback on PDA and 3G-enabled mobile phones, or exporting the content captured by the PDA to PC.
"The Mio 268 GPS PDA series offers a high-performance multimedia solution that delivers our iMobi rich multimedia solution," said Steve Ro, CEO and President of InterVideo. "We are pleased to be a partner of Mio and its new GPS PDA series line."
The Mio 268 GPS device is currently available in Australia. Future retail availability will also include Europe, Taiwan and Japan. No news on US release.
