White Paper Z500a

3D Games

The Java 3D gaming software introduces and supports cutting edge 3D graphics. Audio developments such as 40 tones polyphonic sound

and force feedback provide a much richer experience. With operator support, there is the possibility for multiplayer games to play against friends. The large 1.8” STN display can only add to a lasting gaming experience. Downloading graphic intensive games requiring up to 6 MB user memory is also possible with that amount of built-in memory.

Java™ 2 Micro Edition

With Java, you can download extra content, for example, new information- and entertainment-based applications. This gives users a chance to personalize the functions and

features in their phones, and developers the opportunity to create new applicatons.

Gaming

Gaming is already a very popular feature in mobile phones, and with Java, users can add new games and

skill levels to further enhance the

entertainment value of Sony Ericsson phones.

Copyright protection – DRM

DRM (Digital Rights Management) assures the rights and copy protection of downloaded content (audio, pictures, ringtones, video, entertainment features such as games etc.).

Content-based services have great market potential, and to encourage this, Sony Ericsson plans to support DRM in all future multimedia products. Sony Ericsson regards DRM as a key enabler for content-based services, and is active in supporting the ongoing standardization work of the OMA (Open Mobile Alliance). Furthermore, any additional market requirements for DRM will be monitored.
