In an interview this week Rick Dean senior VP of THX explained that his company was looking at the possibility to start pursuing an THX certification process for smartphones and tablets devices in the future.

Together with applications that would be able to enhance the quality of the sounds from smartphones and tablet devices but, but Dean wouldn’t unveil any specific plans the company had within this area.

Dean explains:

"Five years ago, I said that we should really get into the mobile audio world, but they said, ‘You can’t get a theatrical experience out of that, you’re listening to it with earbuds.’” – "But look at the way that music is consumed today,”.

No timescales has been mentioned for the rollout of the new THX certificate system but it will be interesting to see which are the first devices to receive the new THX certificates.
