DivX, Inc., the company that created the revolutionary, patent-pending DivX video compression technology, and MobiNote Technology Corporation, a pioneer in the mobile video industry, today announced that the MobiNote DP7010 portable media player is fully DivX Certified, guaranteeing the high-quality playback of all versions of DivX video (DivX 3xx, 4xx, and 5xx).

The MobiNote DP7010 is a portable media player that includes a 7`` LTPS (Low Temperature Poly Silicon) color screen, a 20GB hard drive, and a built in microphone. The DP7010 allows users to take their entire digital media collection with them on the go and watch their files on the biggest screen available for portable devices.

As a full DivX Certified portable device, the DP7010 is among the first generation of portable media players (PMP) to offer full playback of the hugely popular DivX video format. DivX has become one of the most popular video technologies in the world by enabling the creation and distribution of DVD quality video at a file size small enough to be easily transferred among an entire ecosystem of devices and platforms while still enjoying the power of the complete DivX experience.

``With its great visual quality and unparalleled compression, DivX video is an ideal fit for our product,`` said Keith Chiang, Business Development Director of MobiNote Technology Corp. ``We`re excited to work with the DivX team to achieve full certification for the DP7010.``

``The DP7010 is a powerful and elegant device that will let DivX users enjoy their entire library of video content on the go,`` said Bill Holmes, Vice President of Consumer Electronics at DivX, Inc. ``By achieving DivX Certification for their device, MobiNote is providing real value for their users by ensuring compatibility with one of the most popular and widely used digital media formats on the market.``

The DivX(R) Certified portable profile program is a formalized procedure for integrated circuit (IC) manufacturers and OEM manufacturers to obtain the DivX Certified logo for the PMP class of devices. The program provides all the tools for a partner to develop and test a PMP product for playback compliance to DivX`s standards for the portable profile, enabling users to playback all versions of DivX video at the highest level of quality including premium content protected by DivX digital rights management.
