: TruVideo and FreeVerse Partners team up to introduce new mobile
video technology. TruVideo, a pioneer in mobile video technology has
signed a representative agreement with FreeVerse Partners in Tokyo,
Japan to develop business and expand into the Asian market.
"TruVideo's
technology is ideal for bandwidth constrained wireless applications,
and is the best fit for today's 2G and 3G networks," says Tim
Smith, of FreeVerse Partners. "We are excited to introduce this
technology to the fast growing Asian market and see a great future
for it especially in the Brew and Symbian enabled handset market."
