RealNetworks jumps onto Vodafone

The software maker signs a deal with Vodafone to power the audio and video playback on certain handsets for subscribers to the U.K. cell phone giant's rich media service, per News.com.

"The deal allows Vodafone to use RealNetworks' media playback technology for its Vodafone Live service, which provides subscribers with ring tones, interactive games and, eventually, audio and video content. The cellular company plans to deliver media content encoded in technology from RealNetworks, among others, to subscribers in Europe by the beginning of next year.

Vodafone will initially offer these features on Nokia's Series 60-based phones, according to a RealNetworks representative.
