VOLLEE ENABLES 25 MORE HANDSETS FOR SECOND LIFE® MOBILE
New handsets supported from Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson
Redwood City, Calif. - June 30, 2008 - Users of 25 more handset models, including popular models from Nokia, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson, can now access Second Life®, the 3D virtual world platform created by Linden Lab®, from their mobile devices.
Vollee, the 3G streaming services provider, announced today support for 25 more 3G handset models, bringing to more than 70 the number of 3G handsets supported by the Vollee service.
New handsets supported in this release include: from Nokia the E61, N71, N81, N82, N93i, and 6110 Navigator; from Samsung the U700 and SPH-5xx series; and from Sony Ericsson the K610i and W890i.
Vollee's proprietary solution is the only technology currently available that can stream high-end PC titles to mobile, including popular massively multiplayer online role playing games. The company's VolleeX engine adapts applications for screen size and key layout, and then streams the original application to mobile devices. Vollee's interactive video streaming platform optimizes compression to minimize bandwidth requirements and also leverages the 3G mobile networks in such a way that gamers can easily and smoothly navigate virtual worlds. Vollee's technology is also extensible to fast paced, high quality video games previously impossible on mobile.
