WonderMedia SmartFrame gets first Windows 7 logo


Why is a site about VIA embedded news mentioning a WonderMedia digital photo frame? WonderMedia is a wholly owned subsiduary of VIA's and they therefore use VIA chips in their (mainly) embedded designs. They don't actually usually use the mainstream VIA processors we normally report on here, but ARM processors and the PRIZM platform. According to the Press Release, PRIZM "a leading-edge SoC technology that integrates a high performance ARM processor, programmable DSP core, and video decoding and processing hardware together with essential memory, networking and peripheral controllers."
The WonderMedia SmartFrame deserves the "smart" in its name. It gives access to show "not only to photos stored on local hard drives or online, but also email, games, video, news, documents and a whole host of web services." Cool!
