Splashtop Platform Debuts With ASUS

Splashtop provides unique rapid-start internet solutions for ASUS' P5E3

Deluxe Motherboard

    SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- DeviceVM, a San Jose-based
 company developing rapid-start computing technologies, announced today its
 collaboration with ASUS, the leading worldwide motherboard, components and
 notebook manufacturer to integrate Splashtop's platform into upcoming
 motherboards, starting with the ASUS P5E3 Deluxe. Splashtop(TM) is a new
 technology developed by DeviceVM that enables users to boot their PCs and
 access the Internet in seconds. ASUS is branding the Splashtop platform
 "Express Gate" for its upcoming motherboards.
     "Splashtop provides an 'instant-on' experience for users who want to
 quickly access the Internet to browse, email, or chat," says Mark Lee, CEO
 and cofounder of DeviceVM. "By partnering with ASUS, we're given a great
 opportunity to help millions of users enjoy freedom from long boot times
 and cluttered operating systems."
     Residing within a motherboard's BIOS, Splashtop uses an efficient
 Linux-based operating system to run various pre-loaded programs. ASUS'
 Express Gate applications include a web browser, Skype VOIP/Chat, and
 features multilanguage support. ASUS can also perform remote program
 updates for the Splashtop platform. Splashtop operates as a powerful
 complement to a larger, hard-drive based operating system such as Windows
 or Linux.
     "ASUS is very pleased to partner with an innovative leader such as
 DeviceVM," says Jackie Hsu, President of ASUS USA. Jerry Shen, President of
 ASUS AOOP Business Group, adds, "Splashtop is an exciting breakthrough in
 personal computing, providing a great experience for consumers who want to
 get online significantly faster than ever before."
     The ASUS P5E3 Deluxe motherboard with Express Gate is the first of many
 to integrate the Splashtop platform. The motherboard is currently available
 through ASUS authorized dealers in North America.
