PROFILE |
 |
As oxymoronic as it may sound, couch potatoes worldwide will be going mobile, if PacketVideo has its way. The company, which was founded in 1998, develops software that transmits video and digital media over wireless networks to devices such as hand-held computers, mobile phones, and laptops. Its PVPlatform software (built on the MPEG-4 industry standard) encodes, transmits, and decodes memory-intensive media, and is compatible with current wireless standards. Sprint PCS and Finland's Sonera are testing the product with their wireless networks, and Intel plans to embed PVPlayer into its StrongARM processors for personal digital assistants and smart phones. Investors include Intel, Siemens, and AOL Time Warner.
