bit-tech News: DeviceVM releases source code for Asus P5E3 Deluxe WiFi-AP
 

There are a couple new motherboards with Splashtop targeted for release at the end of the year, but we cannot announce the specifics until the OEM gives us the green light," said DeviceVM's Sergei Krupenin. "At the same time, all the major manufacturers are talking to DeviceVM about doing laptop and desktop products for next year.

"Another thing is that we feel our open platform (with a soon to be released SDK) also allows consumers to do more with Splashtop than with other solutions.

"For the P5E3 motherboard, Splashtop was designed to reside within the limited non-volatile on-board memory. While it is a restricted environment that may vary in size for other models, additional programs can be accommodated and we are working on enabling that through an SDK. Since speed and security are two of our core value propositions, the main challenge we are addressing is how to create an extensible environment without slowing down Splashtop or opening vulnerabilities.

"The consumer feedback after the launch tells us that people want to add applications such as IM or music playback to Splashtop - just as you pointed out. So this is a major direction. We are planning to start by offering selected applications for download through our web site, initially within a Beta program, and later open this up.
