June 6, 2008 (Tokyo, Japan)—The 906i model series mobile phones of NTT DoCoMo, Inc., headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo (CEO and President: Masao Nakamura) have been implemented with VIVID UI and VIVID Movie developed by Acrodea, Inc. (CEO and President: Junya Tsutsumi), headquartered in Meguro-ku, Tokyo.
The NTT DoCoMo 906i series, consisting of the P906i (made by Panasonic Mobile Communications); the SH906i and Aquos Keitai SH960iTV (made by Sharp); the N906i, N906iµ, and N906iL onefone (manufactured by NEC); the F906i (made by Fujitsu); and the SO906i (made by Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications) model handsets were implemented accordingly with VIVID UI and VIVID Movie.
Continuing from the 905i series, these models mark releases under the master license agreement announced in August 2007, whereby Acrodea’s VIVID UI and VIVID Movie were sublicensed from NTT DoCoMo to the terminal manufacturers for implementation to the 906i series.
Moreover, NTT DoCoMo is providing the Kisekae Tool UI Creator, developed on the basis of Acrodea’s authoring tool, as a tool to support UI design work for the Kisekae Tool®, also provided by NTT DoCoMo. UI content for each 906i series handset model can be created with Kisekae Tool UI Creator. Consequently, subscribers can avail themselves of many designs with a wealth of expression and diverse UI menus. The pre-installed Direct Menu, a new menu arranged for ease of access to frequently used functions and services, is created as kisekae content.
Plans call for the successive release of mobile handsets implemented with VIVID UI and VIVID Movie in June and beyond.
