These days, getting media and streams seems to be the way to go and to make sure that mobile devices get them properly on their gadgets, Mo-DV has turned to a technologically new software to make sure it all goes according to plan.

Mo-DV has been awarded a patent for software technology that will revolutionize the way media distributors, retailers, kiosk manufacturers, memory card manufacturers, and even movie studios distribute video and other multimedia content to consumers.

The patent paves the way for millions of consumers to have access to Mo-DV’s innovative technology, which allows media files to be played on most cell phones and computers.

The patent was awarded on the heels of Mo-DV’s first shipping products: USB flash drives with bundled feature-length movies from a major motion picture studio. These products are shipping in the US, Spain, Germany, and Belgium under multiple brands. The technology for which the patent was awarded will allow for high-quality video, movie and media file playback across different computers and mobile devices that support removable storage media (USB flash drive, memory card, hard disk drive).

With this patented technology, consumers can purchase or rent movies and videos and play them on any cell phone or portable computer device they choose, much like a DVD can be played on any DVD player.

The Mo-DV player works across 80 percent of smart phones and on many feature phones. Mo-DV’s technology also can be used to make USB flash drives playback movies and other media content on any PC.

The Samsung P560 is not a classy computer and is really meant for business. Carrying a 15.4 inch display, the P560 doesn’t have the rich sound or overstuffed multimedia features of some portables: There’s no TV tuner here, or BluRay Disc capability. The sound is adequate, but you would want headphones to hear the best sound.

SAMSUNG sets the professional standard for notebook PCs with the P560. Perfect for your go anywhere, do everything lifestyle, this notebook PC has all the features you want.

Durable casing enhances its overall strength and the Lithium Ion battery delivers revolutionary battery life with up to 6-hours of use. With the SAMSUNG P560 there are no compromises. Sleek style, heavy-duty features and peace-of-mind reliability make sure you’re at peak performance

The display screen is billed as “1280 x 800 WXGA, 220 nits, Non-glossy with Ambient Light Sensor,” which translates to a good viewing experience.

The P560 weighs just less than 6 pounds, making it an agreeable traveling companion. The optical drive features LightScribe technology, which will “burn” a disc label onto one side of the DVD or CD you create on the other.

Where is this world heading too? I mean sure netbooks are popular but eventually a better product will be created. When it comes to portable tiny computers I’m going to assume we’re going to have smaller and smaller laptops with possibly holographic LCDs.
