Today Fraunhofer announced several new initiatives aimed at improving the audio and multimedia experience of Android devices. Fraunhofer made MPEG-4 HE-AAC v2 support available to the Android platform beginning today. This codec is used by digital television and radio broadcasting, as well as to stream internet radio over 3G or Wi-Fi. Fraunhofer also announced MPEG Surround for Android. Fraunhofer says that MPEG Surround will offer CD-quality, multi-channel "experience" streaming audio over wireless networks without an increase in bitrate. The codecs have been optimized for low energy consumption and are compatible with a number of processing platforms, such as ARM, MIPS, Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, and Freescale.

Magic?

so do they grind up unicorn horns and blow them in front of speakers to do this, or have the unlocked a hidden ability to code better than any streaming media company before?
might come as a codec upgrade?

I'm curious to see what this means as well..
