Technicolor announced that its mp3HD format, introduced in 2009, is featured in the Samsung “IceTouch,” the company’s first mp3HD portable player, which was recently unveiled at CES 2010.

According to the statement, the mp3HD format offers lossless audio compression as well as compatibility with the widely-used MP3 standard. mp3HD enables content creators, the music industry and consumers to benefit from the ultimate audio quality experience with the same ease of use as the MP3 format.
