[HI to support Mobile 3D Graphics API for J2ME using NVIDIA's GoForce technology.]

Santa Clara, Calif. -- HI Corporation and NVIDIA Inc. announced that the companies have agreed to a worldwide alliance for advanced interactive 3D games on mobile communication devices.

The companies will cooperate in the porting and marketing of the Mascot Capsule Engine Micro3D Edition on NVIDIA's newly-announced GoForce architecture. The goal is to enable the content development community with the necessary tools and performance to take leading PC and console titles into the mobile environment.

Through this alliance, HI will bring support for the newly-adopted Mobile 3D Graphics API for J2ME (M3G) to NVIDIA's GoForce, providing developers with a fully standards-compliant development platform for mobile gaming. Every mobile device employing NVIDIA GoForce technology will also be able to utilize the Mascot Capsule Engine Micro3D Edition, making it easy for existing game developers and for the 30M handsets already enabled with Mascot Capsule to take advantage of the power of GoForce.

This joint technology and marketing alliance will fuel faster penetration of hardware-accelerated 3D throughout the mobile communications industry and set new benchmarks for what is achievable in mobile gaming.
