DDD GROUP PLC SIGNS FIRST CONSUMER MOBILE PHONE LICENSE
DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSING AGREEMENTS WORTH AT LEAST 500,000 SIGNED WITH LEADING
HANDSET MANUFACTURER FOR GLASSES-FREE 3D MOBILE TELEPHONE
Santa Monica, Calif. (July 19, 2005) 3/4 DDD Group plc (AIM: DDD), the 3D
software and content company, today announces that it has signed a development
agreement and a two-year software licensing agreement with one of the world's
top five mobile telephone handset manufacturers. The value of the development
agreement alone is 500,000 for the first handset with 150,000 being recognised
as revenue during the first half of 2005.
Under the terms of the development agreement, DDD will integrate the DDD Mobile
TM software with a 3D handset that is currently in development. DDD Mobile is a
comprehensive content solution for the emerging market of stereoscopic 3D mobile
displays that allows the presentation of photos, animations and movies in a 3D
format on mobile telephones.
On completion of the software development phase, which is expected to occur
during the third quarter of 2005, the worldwide non-exclusive licensing
agreement will allow the handset maker to ship DDD's software embedded in the
handset, yielding a per handset royalty to DDD. The license also provides
exclusive rights for the handset maker to use DDD's real time 2D to 3D
conversion capabilities on their 3D handsets in various countries during the
term of the license.
Chris Yewdall, Chief Executive of DDD said: 'We are very pleased to have been
chosen to provide the DDD Mobile solution to this world leading manufacturer.
The market for 3D devices continues to develop and this agreement exemplifies
our team's ability to implement and exploit our market-leading 3D content
solutions across a growing number of these emerging platforms. The first
licensee for DDD Mobile represents an important milestone as the company enters
the consumer market for the first time.'

Just more hype. Rwevenues would be a very long way off. They are producing something for a 3D handset that does not even exist and is still in development.

3D technology is on the way and this will be a STRONG BUY - 14p now.

There seems to be very little sign that the public are interested in 3D.Imax 3D cinemas have been closing steadily over the last few years. Even the projected Arisawa/DDD 3D TV needs polarised glasses to view it. This looks like old technology.
The major development in TV across the world is High Definition TV which gives an almost 3D effect anyway.
It is looking well over priced now.

Hardly rocketing. It hasn't even made up the falls of the past few days. It looks like a bearish pattern forming at the moment prior to a sharp downturn towards 11p.

I suppose it isi one of its temporary spikes. The trick is not to get caught at the top as there is little to support the price.

I must say that today's rally of 30% on heavy volume of almost 3 million shares looks positive for this stock. Apparently Hans Snook, who masterminded the revamp of Orange,has joined the board of directors with the purchase of a 3.1% stake.

Hans Snook Joins DDD Group plc Board of Directors
SANTA MONICA, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Jan. 13, 2006 -- DDD Group plc (LSE: DDD), the 3D software and content company, today announces the appointment of Hans Snook to the company's board of directors.
Mr. Snook is the Chairman of MonsterMob Group plc ("MonsterMob") and the founder and former Chief Executive of Orange.
Hans Snook was appointed Chairman of AIM-listed MonsterMob in May of 2005. MonsterMob is a leading media and entertainment company that specializes in the sale of mobile telephone entertainment content and services, with operations in 20 countries and connectivity to 38 mobile telephone network carriers.
Hans was the founder and Chief Executive of Orange, a leading mobile telephone network carrier. He articulated the vision of the 'wirefree future' that has driven the branding, strategy and operation of Orange. Under Hans' leadership, Orange launched their mobile phone service on 28 April 1994 and had a profound impact on the mobile market both in the U.K. and globally. In March 1996, Orange listed on the London and NASDAQ exchanges and, in June of 1996, became the youngest ever company to enter the FTSE 100.
Following the agreed acquisition of Orange by Mannesmann at the end of 1999, Mannesmann was acquired by Vodafone early in 2000 and, on 30 May 2000, the agreed acquisition of Orange by France Telecom was announced. Hans continued as Chief Executive of the enlarged Orange Group, leading it to flotation in February 2001, at which point he became Special Advisor to the Group, a role from which he stepped down at the end of 2001. From 2002 until early in 2005, Hans was non-executive Chairman of Carphone Warehouse Group PLC.
Hans' current directorships include MonsterMob Group PLC, Healthsmart Limited, The Integrated Health Consultancy Ltd. and Sensophone Limited.
"I am truly delighted that Hans has joined the board of DDD as a non-executive director," said Paul Kristensen, Chairman of DDD. "Hans brings a vast, directly relevant experience to DDD, particularly in the mobile phone market where DDD has seen the most growth in recent months. His contributions as a board member will be invaluable."

Well Hans Snook has certainly livened things up a bit!
From today's Independent newspaper.
=======================================
DD Group has developed a piece of software which can transform two dimensional images (2D) on mobile phones and television screens into three dimensional ones (3D). Yesterday the group announced two vital bits of news to the City which could prove to be the making of the company. First, it unveiled a 1.3m fundraising, the proceeds of which will finance DDD's future development.
Also, and probably more important, was news that the mobile phone industry bigwig Hans Snook has joined the board as a non-executive director and that he bought a 3.1 per cent stake in the company via the fundraising. Mr Snook's reputation in the mobile phone industry is second to none (for those who don't remember he founded Orange in 1994 and quickly turned it into a global player) and having him as a director is clearly a big coup for what is still a very small company.
More recently, Mr Snook has had great success as a director of the mobile phone content operator MonsterMob and Carphone Warehouse and there is no doubt that his knowledge and industry contacts will be invaluable to DDD.
So far the group has secured a key licensing deal for its software with a top five mobile handset maker - for legal reasons the company has not disclosed its name - and further such agreements are very likely in the future. But the beauty of DDD's software is that it goes beyond the mobile phone arena. It allows normal 2D pictures from TVs, digital cinemas and computer games to be played on 3D displays without requiring the content to be created specifically for 3D, which greatly adds to the company's potential revenue streams and makes it more desirable from an investment point of view. If Mr Snook is backing the group then so should investors. Buy.
