Announces Integration of the AMD Alchemy
Au1200 Processor Within Future TiVoToGo Enabled Portable
Media Players
BREA, Calif., Mar 21, 2005 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX)
-- PoGo! today announced
that it is working in collaboration with AMD (NYSE:AMD)
to integrate the AMD Alchemy(TM) Au1200(TM) processor
into its second-generation portable media player
(PMP).
The Au1200 processor has been optimized for portable
video players and enables a new generation of conveniences
and features such as scalable DVD-quality displays,
long-lasting battery life and effortless video content
transfers directly from digital video recorders.
"The integration of the Au1200 processor in
next-generation PoGo! PMPs is good news
for consumers seeking living-room quality video
entertainment on the go," said Iain Morris,
senior vice president, Personal Connectivity Solutions
Group, AMD. "Combining AMD's expertise in embedded
processing with PoGo!'s leadership in handheld
portable multimedia should result in a compelling,
feature-rich PMP."
"Utilizing the Au1200 processor will allow
PoGo! to further enhance the capabilities
of its portable media players," said Robin
McSurley, vice president of Sales and Marketing
for PoGo!. "We are thinking ahead
and positioning our products to be the leaders in
the digital media market."
For consumers, PMPs containing Au1200 processors
provide a simplified user experience and more entertainment
value. For example, PMPs containing the Au1200 processor
can connect directly to digital video recorders
and transfer video content without the need to transcode
the file through a personal computer, thus greatly
reducing the time it takes to download and playback
fresh video entertainment.
