please see above announcement, i am new to this STOCK and am a bit baffled I must confess. Unless I am missing something, these shares should be at least 200p with the above mentioned purchase by the Bahrain Royal family of 400,000 shares at 250p per share, VERSUS THE CURRENT SHARE PRICE OF 170P

WHY AREN'T THEY GOING UP???????

VIMIO plc ('Vimio')

Subscription at £2.50 per share by, and joint venture with,

Riyada Consulting LLC. ('Riyada')

Riyada, a Bahrain based company, owned and managed by H.E. Shaikha Dheya Al -
Khalifa, a senior member of the Bahrain Royal Family, has agreed to subscribe
for 400,000 new Vimio Ordinary Shares of Euro0.05 each at £2.50 per share. The
proceeds amounting to £1,000,000 will be loaned by Vimio to Vimio Middle East
LLC, ('VME') a newly incorporated company jointly owned by Vimio and Riyada. It
is intended that the loan will be repaid from profits.

Vimio has granted a software licence to VME enabling it to exploit Vimio's
technology to provide content to mobile network operators throughout the Middle
East and North Africa. VME's head office is located in Dubai and it is intended
to establish offices in Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar
and Saudi Arabia.

VME intends to enter into revenue sharing agreements, for live TV and other
content with the many Satellite TV Channels available in the Middle East, for
delivery over existing GSM networks This strategy is intended to enable VME to
become the market leader in offering high quality live TV broadcasting and
other content to Middle Eastern mobile users, using Vimio's proprietary high
compression technology, which no competitor has. Customers will be able to
watch live TV on their handsets, without any delay in signal or interruption of
broadcasting quality. This was not possible before Vimio developed its high
compression technology.

VME also intends to exploit the Arabic and popular music market for music
downloads, videos and live radio. VME will also launch a version of Vimio's
Jukebox technology for `phones that are only able to access ringtones etc. This
will enable the end-user to search the network on his `phone thus saving VME
from considerable advertising costs.

By the time 3G handsets and 3G networks are widely used, VME expects to have
already established a large user base of subscribers which new entrants to the
market will not have. VME will be able to easily convert its already 3G
compliant products to utilise the high bandwidth of 3G networks to give superb
TV transmission quality.

Application will be made for the new shares to be admitted to AIM and dealings
are expected to commence on 14th March 2006.

a bit of market info gleaned from an article ....

Within Western Europe there are just under 7 million people using 3G mobile phones, this is set to rise to around 90 million by the end of 2008.

All replacement handsets are now automatically 3G enabled, ensuring that the market is growing exponentially and aggressively.

Some info on the SPH-B2500 phone and its capabilities below. It is quite an ugly phone and wonder whether that will affect sales. However, as the agreement is that Vim will receive royalty payment for every handset manufactured not a problem short term. I wonder how much the royalty payment is?

(See phone -


Samsung Electronics Thursday has released a new satellite DMB phone, similar in design to the SCH-V700. Samsung's SPH-B2500 enables users to compress audio files to a quarter the size of their original state.

The new DMB phone is equipped with the new Via Audio Codec, this makes it possible to store fours songs at the same audio quality but with the file size of one song. A standard MP3 is 4-6MB at 128Kbs or 192Kbps bit rate, the Via codec converts the bit rate maximum to 32Kbps, reducing the file size to one quarter of it's original size.

Apparently you can download the music conversion software from the Anycall web site, The Samsung SPH-B2500 is available in KTF Korea for 700.00 WON.

Samsung's new SPH-B2500 DMB handset is expected to come with DMB satellite TV reception, a 2 megapixel camera, video recording, video-on-demand, TV-output, MP3 playback, MS Office/PDF/JPG/TXT Pixel viewer, PictBridge mobile printing, EV-DO, microSD external storage, and support for Moneta M-Bank transactions. The new VIA audio compressor makes a debut here, capable of compressing MP3 quality songs with a 75% reduction in file size. Expect to pay $675 for this in Korea.

vodafone launcing mobile pay-TV - enable 19 different channels on a mobile phone - mobile tv is about to become the norm and vimio technology will be significantly useful to ensure that handsets remain mobile!

The Samsung deal will produce very significant revenue for Vimio and is also confirmation of the technology.I expect that ALL new Samsung phones will eventually include this software as demand for features as video,tv etc on the phone becomes the norm.Samsung produced 86m phones in 2004 so even a few cents per phone will generate huge revenue.

Today's telegraph:

MENTION the name Rooney on the trading floor today and you're likely to get the spread on the number of yellow cards young Wayne will pick up this season.

But back in 2001 another Rooney captured the market's imagination. And it wasn't Mickey.

Fran Rooney is famed for building Baltimore Technologies into a FTSE 100 company then seeing it explode in the dotcom bust. Rooney cashed in pounds 5.8m of shares in summer 2000. A year later the stock had crashed and he had left, following disastrous acquisitions and a collapse in the market for Baltimore's encryption technology.

Last year, reduced to a cash shell, Baltimore was taken private by Acquisitor Holdings.

The experience does not appear to have dented 48-year-old Rooney's enthusiasm for technology companies, however. He recently floated a mobile phone software company on Aim that appears to be doing well. Vimio develops software to allow TV, music and video clips to be delivered on mobile phone networks.

The company was belittled before the float by a website for stock market investors.

Allnewissues.com published an amendment to its report titled "Ludicrously Overvalued'', admitting to factual errors, but stuck to its original call to avoid or sell the stock. Thus far, however, Rooney has proved the doubters wrong. Vimio floated at 100p a share, reached a high point of 169p on September 12, and closed at 150p on Friday.

Rooney trained as an accountant and a degree in computer science brought him, logically, into financial technology.

In 1996, togther with fellow Irishman Dermot Desmond, he bought a small technology consulting firm. Baltimore started as a firm of six and at one stage was worth pounds 5.5billion.

After Baltimore, Rooney had a brief stint at the Football Association of Ireland. "That was a labour of love,'' he says. "I've been in love with football since I was a kid so I tried to put something back.''

Some FAI board members were, however, frustrated at his style and he left after 18 months.

This year he has focused on a few core opportunities. Among these is a broadband company headed by his 23-year-old daughter Yvonne. Rooney is brave to mix business and family again. His personal investment company, Nirvana Technologies, backed an e-learning company set up by younger brother Dermot in 2001. Addoceo collapsed last year owing Nirvana euros229,300 and Fran is reported to have lost more than euros500,000 personally. Are they still on good terms? "Absolutely,'' he says. "We're a great family.''

I do not think that you are alone! There are also others who may want to watch live TV (non -biological channels)from their handsets - yesterday I believe Orange 3G holders were able to watch the super series cricket live on their handsets.

We live in a period where convenience is all important - that is why I believe Vimio is a BUY. Their technology is the future!

Anyone aware of who Vimio main competitors? Or do the patents really give Vimio a competitive advantage?

News at last!!!

From the CEO-

"This new strategic alliance keeps us very much in line with our growth ambitions and I look forward to reporting on further progress in due course"

It could be an interesting short term future for this company!

In yesterday's FT (27/09/2005) there was an article about MTV and Warner in mobile video link. The article discussed how one could both listen to music and now be able to watch their favourite music video on the go. There is much tal about the huge potential - "Going to be a new goldmine for wireless operators." The article discusses that "In preparation, handset manufacturers, including Samsung and Nokia have announced new phones."

Now my point is that with the data compression technology Vimio has, I would have believed that this would have been much sought after and as a result Vimio would be winning lucrative contracts. Can anyone shed some light?

thanks tech... the tip follows

"Vimio

Take a look at Vimio (166p), a mobile telephone technology company which listed on Aim two weeks ago. The company owns technology which allows streaming television to be played live on ordinary (2.5G) mobile handsets.

As well as live video, the Swedish technology allows users to listen to audio books and music services, play games or gamble. Vimio says that its system allows video downloads to be compressed by up to 10 times at good quality. Worth a punt."

hi darkhorse - good o meet you - agree absence of news could see the shares drift - even below the offer - as often happens, but if the news flow is good, and timed well to keep the company in the market eye, people will become aware >>>

there are some who my have a problem with fran rooney - but i reckon he's a top guy - i bought baltimore when it was called zergo at 6.70 a share and sold at 110 quid a share - its mostly the muppets who bought blm at 110 quid who have the issues!!!

also the mgt team is strong here - theyve been here before they know how to take a business forward, they have a large percentage shareholding - theyre involved and have good people around them>

the technology & timing is right - everythings going mobile, compression of data has never been hotter...

Hello fegga vim looks a good play ive just bought a few @162p, but i think vim might drop a little further which i will buy more ,to go from 100p to 161p is pretty damn good.

spreads narrowing, thats more like it...

i'd expect a relatively good flow of news over the next 6 months - updates on trials, agreements, patent approval (hopefully) in order to maintain a presence in the financial press,

need to see concrete developments before adding - at the moment this is a pure bet...although there is institutional investment, so one would hope that they've seen more than the standard prospectus.

be good to know if there is an expo due to showcase the technology - have to do some homework

interesting article about mobile video compression - the killer application - not my words -
potential exceeds games, music, porn and gambling, and heaven knows there's enough to be made from those four! climbed on board today.



thrilling stuff.
