2000.09.26Mobile Internet service using n.TOP GVM: World?s first wireless Internet download service
Multimedia mobile phone service that promises high-quality audio and video
SK Telecom?s mobile Internet service n.TOP introduces the world?s first mobile Internet download service that allows users to download and play DDR, video karaoke, games and music files on the cell phone using the Game Virtual Machine (GVM) program on September 25.
The new multimedia entertainment service based on the mobile Internet download program includes network games such as ?Tank? and ?Fighter? that allow a user to call another user to engage in an one-on-one battle; ?DDR? (Dance Dance Revolution) that offers dynamic video clips, lyrics and audio files; video karaoke; and video cartoon series.
In particular, unlike the current karaoke service that offers the title of the songs and the lyrics at most, the online DDR and video karaoke services allow users to download the video clips of the latest hit songs anytime anywhere in high-quality audio files that is faithfully recreated in four-layers of harmony and thus close to the sound of the original song. The company expects the new service to become one that represents a gamut of mobile Internet multimedia services to be introduced in the coming years.
While the existing mobile Internet service must continue downloading while users play the game, the GVM-based mobile Internet download service download the entire program before the game begins and then execute the program on the handset, allowing dynamic game-playing experience the exiting mobile Internet could not afford.
SK Telecom developed the GVM SDK (software development toolkit) for GVM-driven program development and is distributing it to the game software developers and mobile Internet contents developers to encourage the GVM-enabled software programs.
