Droplet Technology Demonstrates Live 3G Mobile Video Services at 2008 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2008)

MENLO PARK, Calif., Jan. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Droplet Technology, Inc. today began a 4-day showcase of the company's 3G personal mobile video services at CES 2008 (January 7-10, Meeting Room #70127, Sands Expo & Convention Center, Las Vegas). Personal mobile video services provide real-time or non-real-time exchange of user-generated or user-selected video, with at least one mobile handset involved.

At CES 2008, Droplet is showcasing video services running live on off-the-shelf commercial handsets over multiple 3G wireless (AT&T HSDPA/UMTS and Verizon EV-DO) and Wi-Fi networks, including:

    -- video capture, instant sharing, upload, and messaging
    -- automated video editing, multimedia mash-ups, and streaming
    -- one-to-one video chat and multi-party video conferencing
    -- direct-to-subscriber deployment via all-software handset client
       download
    -- browser-based video player, eliminating transcoding and enhancing both
       device and network interoperability.

Droplet's patented breakthroughs in all-software video processing and video communications eliminate the traditional hardware costs, complexities, and constraints that limit today's video-enabled devices and services. This approach allows Droplet to deliver personal mobile video services with higher-quality video capture and playback, video editing and sharing, and video communications functionality, via all-software client or browser applications, into a much wider range of lower-cost, higher-volume handset platforms than is otherwise commercially feasible. These same technology breakthroughs have also been incorporated into Droplet's video server applications, significantly reducing the cost and complexity of the infrastructure required to deploy video communications, business collaboration, entertainment, and social networking applications over wireless networks and the Internet.

According to John Ralston, Droplet's President and CEO: "CES 2008 marks a milestone in Droplet's commitment to provide converged and truly open personal mobile video services that can work on any wireless network, and with any mobile device or PC. Utilizing a single all-software video service platform, Droplet has unified mobile video communications and user-generated video services that otherwise require multiple disparate hardware and software platforms, and cannot be deployed without extensive handset manufacturer and operator intervention. By demonstrating direct-to-subscriber service deployment with off-the-shelf commercial handsets, multiple handset operating systems, and multiple 3G operators, Droplet has delivered, to both users and service providers, a far more powerful vision for 'open' mobile and Internet video services."
