"We are very pleased that our MascotCapsule has been shipped in more than 400 million mobile devices. Despite a sluggish domestic market in FY 2007, the shipments of MascotCapsule has steadily increased due to the strong growth in overseas markets boosted by the proliferation of mobile handsets in emerging countries. Through close partnership and collaboration with various companies with wide-ranging solutions, we are committed to further promoting the embedding of MascotCapsule into devices other than handsets. Along with this, we will make every effort to propose new usage scenes for MascotCapsule in application segments by developing UIs, services, and contents that will create a pleasurable usability and user experience with 3D graphics," said Kazuo Kawabata, HI's President and CEO.
