Sony Ericsson Excited about Microsoft rival to jpeg
26 May 2006 by axxxr Microsoft is making a pitch for the jpeg picture market with a rival Windows Media Photo format which will be supported in Windows Vista and made available for XP users.
Microsoft is pitching the main advantage of its format better picture, smaller file - at mobile phones and digital cameras where storage space may be a consideration.A smaller file,can also print faster,transfer faster and help conserve battery life on devices.Making a file that is smaller has all kinds of benefits." Ralf Mueller of Sony Ericsson seemed enthusiastic. He said his company would "look into the new format just as his company looked into supporting Windows Media Audio and Windows Media Video". However, he added: "Considering our development cycle, I could not see us supporting Windows Media Photo before 2008.A full Windows Media Photo Specification (.doc) is available via this page. source: theregister

On web pages meant for general public i cannot even use wma as background music.......... On 12 Jun 11:58 SimonHayes wrote Perhaps this will revolutionise the image format, but as MicroShaft are greedy they'll hog it to Windows/Windows devices only. There'll be a new format on the cards for Linux soon anyway, which will not only be under GNU licence, but probably more scalable than this one anyway. I'm happy enough with JPG for now though.

Licensing issues. which M$ doesnt play fair with - you can BET this is for their OS smartphones/PPC-PE devices only. Also another file format. Open formats have a way of not being fully complete, nor usuable on multiple devices (java/jpeg/mp3/aac are the only ones that come to mind because their tried/tested/true regardless of the platform).
