Scalado Now Included in More Than 300 Million Camera Phones

Mobile imaging software firm, Scalado has announced that its CAPS imaging Software Development Kit (SDK) is now being used in more than 300 million mobile phone handsets, compared with 150 million at this time last year. During this same 12 month period, Scalado has also doubled both its revenue and its total number of staff, thanks to its ongoing expansion in both Europe and Asia.

"Without a doubt, the excitement of having a single mobile device like the IPhone is really capturing the public's imagination" , says Scalado's CEO Mats Jacobson. "As a result, many handset manufacturers want to defend their market share from competitors like Apple, and are therefore looking to companies like us for help."

Scalado already lists four out of the five top tier1 mobile phone manufacturers as its licensees, with Scalado software included in several new handsets to be launched at the Mobile World Congress and throughout the year.

The Company has plans to announce further expansion in both the United States and Asia early this year.

With its CAPS imaging SDK, Scalado offers an extremely CPU and memory efficient software solution which drastically decreases image processing times when capturing, viewing, and editing large images. Most recently, Scalado's latest mobile imaging solution has been making headlines as the first application to include both the SpeedTags Engine as well as Scalado SpeedTags, the Company's solution for improving JPEG image handling performance by effectively managing the large files produced by high-resolution images.

"We are very proud to be working with companies like Aptina, SiliconImage, Samsung LSI, Fujitsu, OmniVision, MTekVision, and many others.", says Fadi Abbas, Co-Founder and Vice President Business Development. "We look forward to unveiling further improvements that will have a profound effect on the mobile imaging market and mobile handsets industry."
