Unique technology offers up to 90% compression on photos and videos
November 15, 2006 – PixSense today announced it has been chosen as a finalist for the Best Communications Applications category at the 2006 Asia Pacific Information and Communication Technology Awards (APICTA). PixSense received merits for its innovative mobile media solution that allows users to manage rich media created on their phone - directly from the handset - without the loss of quality.

PixSense offers users automated photo and video-uploading, smart categorization, automatic memory management, intelligent image quality enhancement, personal publishing and sharing services including phone-to-phone and phone-to-Web, storage, and full-featured galleries on both the Web and the phone.
