FST and Zylux Announce a New Reference Design Integrating YouTube, Picasa and Internet Radio

Fluffy Spider Technologies (FST) together with Zylux Acoustic Corporation (“Zylux”) announced results of their initial collaboration: the Rich Internet Appliance Reference Design.

This reference design brings together 3 of the most popular rich Internet services; YouTube, Picasa and Internet Radio, into a single design, suitable for use by leading brands. The design delivers a fresh user experience with rich and dynamic graphics, high quality audio and a touchscreen interface.

The heart of the system is FST's FancyPants software platform, providing next-generation graphical user interface (GUI) technology for OEMs and ODMs of consumer and other electronics. FancyPants' unique multimedia capabilities and Ruthlessly EfficientTM runtime enable customers to differentiate their products with dramatically enhanced user experiences, bringing them to market faster, with reduced hardware requirements and lower development costs.

The hardware platform is an Atmel AVR32 based AP7000, running Linux.

Packaged as another unique consumer electronics design from Zylux Acoustic Corporation (“Zylux”) means that customers of Zylux's reference design can create something individual at a cost effective price point.

FST's FancyPants product is unique in its ability to deliver high performance graphics, audio and video and unrestricted layout for embedded products. Together with FST's responsive and professional team, we see much potential in the combined offering of Zylux and FST” said
