The recent GSMA held at Barcelona saw a new proprietary optical disc format developed by US based VMedia Research. Just like the UMD for PSP, this new 32mm optical disc would be for future mobile devices allowing them to play a full length movie without any loss of picture quality. The current generation of VMedia discs holds 1GB of content which is played on the VMedia optical drives fitted at the back of the phone.
Currently only India’s Spice will be selling VMedia compatible phones but the company is optimistic that more handset manufacturers will adopt to the new format when they see its true potential. Any takers?
