Samsung F500 Ultra Video officially becomes DivX-certified

Although Samsung dropped the news on its newer F500 handset becoming the "world's first" DivX-certified handset when it was launched a few moons ago, DivX has made that statement certifiable, as the video codec and tech company announced today that the Samsung SGH-F500 "Ultra Video" would be the "world's first" handset with official DivX certification. If you've been waiting to get all those DivX movies and, umm, TV shows onto your handset for portable handset viewing, the Sammy F500 may be your ultimate golden handset, at least for 2007 or so. So, it's official -- let the DivX video start pouring from that F500 (when you get one, that is).
