TOKYO - Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd. and Nokia said they will cooperate to develop technology that allows consumer electronics products and mobile phones to exchange data and content. The companies announced their agreement at the Comdex Fall 2002 trade show in Las Vegas.

While the companies have announced their intent to collaborate, no details have been worked out, a Matsushita spokesman said.

Matsushita and Nokia said they want to establish connectivity that will allow mobile phones to control home electronics devices remotely and allow users to monitor the insides of their homes and view some of the content from home audio/video products.

Multimedia messaging service (MMS) and IPv6 technologies are expected to be development targets of the companies' efforts.
