"Consumers have increasingly high expectations for portability and flexibility with their digital media. For media and retail brands, this means if you're going to be digital anywhere, you have to be digital everywhere," said Steve Harnsberger, VP of Jaman Networks. "Teaming with XONA Media allows us to extend our vision of universal media access from the cloud to an in-store presence as well, delivering the best in hybrid kiosk solutions, combining DVD rentals with a complementary digital option."

Pete Popcke, COO of XONA Media, shares this vision: "Jaman Networks and XONA Media believe that digital entertainment must be accessible, seamless and simple for consumers. An integrated, modular platform tackles a big obstacle for retailers."
