By leveraging their strengths and competitive advantages in the mobile communications industry, Vimicro and Datang Mobile will cooperate to develop handsets that meet the stringent demands for 3G applications.

''Vimicro and Datang Mobile's strategic cooperation will encompass all phases of 3G mobile handset development for TD-SCDMA including research and development, design, mass production, testing, and so on,'' said Kevin Jin, president and COO of Vimicro, ''Datang Mobile has played a key role in the development of the TD-SCDMA standard. We are confident that by working together with Datang Mobile, we will expand the broader 3G handset market.''

Sun Yuwang, vice president of Datang Mobile said: ''Together, Vimicro and Datang Mobile are in a strong position to develop advanced 3G phones, based on our independent intellectual property that will meet the increasing consumer demand for multimedia features.

Under the terms of the partnership, Vimicro and Datang Mobile will collaborate to develop a full product series of mobile 3G handsets based upon the market demand.
