Adobe is very pleased that
the SVG 1.1 and SVG Mobile specifications have become W3C Candidate
Recommendations. SVG Mobile will extend the reach of dynamic data driven
graphical information onto handheld devices. SVG Mobile provides another
target for Adobe's overall Network Publishing strategy and its portfolio of
SVG-enabled products, including Adobe Illustrator® 10.0, Adobe AlterCast®
1.5, Adobe GoLive® 6.0, Adobe InDesign® 2.0, and Adobe FrameMaker®
7.0.

BitFlash is pleased to be an active member of the W3C SVG
Working Group. We are particularly excited to see Mobile SVG become a
requirement for next generation (2.5 and 3G) wireless devices. By making the
SVG Tiny profile (SVGT) a requirement for mobile multimedia messaging, the
Third Generation Partner Program (3GPP) acknowledges the vast potential of
Mobile SVG in the MMS market. BitFlash is honoured to have contributed to
the SVGT specifications and is excited about the possibilities this open
standard presents for dynamic, visually rich mobile content and
interoperability in wireless applications.
-- Frédéric Charpentier, President and Chief Technology
Officer, BitFlash Inc.
The module based SVG 1.1
specification represents a significant step forward for the adoption of
vector graphics technology on a wide range of information appliances. Canon
is very pleased by the release of SVG 1.1 and SVG Mobile Profiles as W3C
Candidate Recommendations. We expect that SVG will bring compelling graphical
content to a variety of mobile devices.
-- Yukichi Niwa, Group Executive, Canon
Inc.
We are extremely proud to
be an active participant in the creation and design of the SVG Mobile
specification. Open standards such as SVG Mobile are the only suitable
solution to meet the growing demand for effective visual access to
information, applications and services -- regardless of user location or
device. Our recently launched deepwhite initiative targets the needs of
enterprise and government customers with content solutions that leverage open
standards such as XML, SVG, and SVG Mobile.

CSIRO is very pleased to
have participated in the effective international collaborative effort that
has now seen SVG 1.1 and SVG Mobile become Candidate Recommendations of the
W3C. As Australia's premier research and development organisation, CSIRO
believes SVG will be a major force in a wide range of markets, especially
mobile computing, and has made a commitment to the SVG community with its
PocketSVG technology, a toolkit for developing Mobile SVG
applications.
-- Dr Geoff Garrett, Chief Executive Officer,
CSIRO Australia
With SVG 1.1, developers can
now create SVG to go, bringing the power of SVG graphics to handheld devices.
ILOG is pleased to have been a part of bringing this new mobile graphics
revolution into being - as a W3C SVG working group member, as a vendor with
one of the first commercial products to support SVG, ILOG JViews, and
finally, as an open source contributor with Batik, the Apache XML toolkit for
SVG.

As a major Japanese cellular phone career, KDDI R&D Laboratories Inc has
long been working on the popularization of Web services for mobile terminals
and is currently developing various content services based on SVG Mobile. As
such, we are very pleased to see that now SVG 1.1 become a Candidate
Recommendation which, we believe, will certainly facilitate further the
utilization of Mobile Web services or map information services and thus make
SVG one of major communication media for cellular phone users.

KDDI R&D Laboratories Incorporated
Nokia welcomes the
advancement of Mobile SVG to W3C Candidate Recommendation. We believe that
Mobile SVG will play a significant role in future mobile multimedia
applications. Nokia has demonstrated its commitment to W3C open standards by
taking the responsibility of the editorship for the new specification, and
has strongly driven the adoption in 3GPP standards of the Mobile SVG profile
for Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) and Packet Switched Streaming (PSS).
Nokia believes that the availability of a open and mobile-friendly standard
for the creation of vector graphics content will play a central role in
creating a dynamic and rich market for applications that fully exploit the
capabilities of these exciting technologies.
-- Janne Juhola, Senior Technology Manager,
Multimedia - Nokia Mobile Phones, Nokia, Inc.
Openwave is pleased
to have contributed to the development of SVG 1.1/Mobile for the benefit of
the mobile industry. This standard will enable and improve the user
experience of messaging services and other entertaining mobile applications,
providing more revenue opportunities for handset manufacturers, mobile
network operators, and content developers.
-- Bruce Martin, VP of Technology, Openwave
Systems, Inc.
Primaci congratulates
the W3C on their excellent work with the 1.1 candidate status for SVG. As the
preferred solution for visualizing large datasets, especially in the life
sciences arena, SVG provides us with a platform for visualization that
maintains the scientific intelligence originally used to create the image.
Primaci is committed to the future of SVG as one of the main XML components
of our system.
-- Chris Boothroyd, CTO Primaci, A Life Science
Company
Savage Software is
pleased to support the 1.1 candidate recommendation status for SVG. Using
SVG, we have been able to deliver data-driven interactive content for
industries that have CAD or GIS based data. As SVG gains adoption across the
web and on mobile devices, we look forward to continuing the development of
SVG as the premier solution for XML-based graphic workflows.
-- Vince Lebow, CEO, Savage Software
Nous sommes
particulièrement fiers de participer activement à la création et
l'élaboration de la norme SVG Mobile. Les normes ouvertes, à l'instar de
SVG Mobile, constituent l'unique solution capable de répondre à une demande
croissante en termes d'accès visuel effectif aux informations, applications
et services et ce, indépendamment de la situation géographique ou de
l'équipement des utilisateurs. Le récent lancement de notre nouvelle marque
de produits deepwhite vise à proposer aux entreprises et institutions
gouvernementales des solutions de contenu basées sur les normes ouvertes,
telles que XML, SVG et SVG Mobile.

CSIRO est heureux
d'avoir fait partie de l'efficace collaboration internationale qui a permis
que SVG 1.1 et SVG Mobile deviennent des spécifications Candidates à
Recommandation du W3C. Persuadé que SVG va devenir une force majeure pour un
grand nombre de marchés, CSIRO, la principale organisation de Recherche et
Développement d'Australie, s'est beaucoup investi dans la communauté SVG,
en particulier pour l'informatique nomade avec sa technologie PocketSVG, un
kit pour le développement d'applications de SVG pour terminaux
mobiles.
