A system is presented for utilizing data in a mobile device in real-time and without the need for additional hardware. The system allows real-time processing of highly-compressed data that would otherwise require processing power in excess of that available from the system, or would otherwise not be possible without additional hardware. The system generally includes a processing device that receives the data in a highly compressed format, and includes a preprocessor that pre-processes the data to at least partially decode the data into a second compressed format. The processing device also includes a decompressor that fully decompresses the preprocessed data as needed by the system. The processing device may also include one or more memories for storing the preprocessed data until it is needed by the system.
