225 million SVG enabled devices have been shipped

Ikivo and AMD claim to enrich graphics on mobile phones Based on Open standard and Imageon processor. Hoping to take advantage of the growing demand for high quality graphics on mobile devices, Ikivo has introduced a version of its accelerated vector graphics software that'll run on AMD's Imageon media processor. This solution is based on OpenVG - a royalty-free, cross-platform API that provides a low-level hardware acceleration interface for vector graphics. Ikivo's software utilises its Mobile SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) technology to improve a mobile device's ability to display high quality images.
Uses include Mobile TV, 3D games, media players and on device portals (ODPs). Ikivo is claiming that globally as many as 225 million SVG enabled devices have already been shipped.AMD is arguing that its Imageon chip can support high speed graphics whilst still requiring only low power levels – necessary for use in smartphones and other handheld devices.
