For example, Movidia announced its MA1110 in January. According to the company, it’s the first processor in the world to allow users to perform complex video post-production on a mobile phone in real time. Its functions include real-time image stabilization, super-resolution zoom, slow motion, and color matching. It also supports the high resolutions of all standard audio and video codecs and application programming interfaces to ensure full compatibility with a wide range of content.

The reLive application from Atlas CT enables users to take photos with their mobile phones and then tag those photos to the precise location where they were taken on the map, creating interactive travelog maps. Campfire’s Catooz application has partnered with Marvel Comics to provide comics right to mobile phones, including cinematic sound and customizable language options. Webwag publishes mobile and Web widget convergent solutions to help users create personalized home pages with data feeds and Web 2.0 services that are always accessible from any computer, mobile, or navigation system.

The Startup Showcase will conclude on March 11.
