Aurallyyous.com Unveils QUIXSTREAMER, New Automated Streaming Audio Software Solution for Internet Appliances, Entertainment Devices and PCs. QUIXSTREAMER Delivers Superior Performance and Flexibility for Next-Generation Post - PC Lifestyle Devices as well as current PC Appliances.

Hollywood, Calif. - Aurallyyours.com formally announces QUIXSTREAMER; its automated streaming audio software engine for PC's and Net Appliances that delivers information and entertainment over the Internet. At the basis of these devices is the need for a simple, intuitive means of accessing 'audiographical' information from the Internet without the complexity and hassles often associated with the current solutions, i.e. Real Audio and Windows Media Player. Applications based on the QUIXSTREAMER ENGINE will deliver 'Streaming Audio Billboards' to consumers at a low cost without the need for lengthy downloads and failed installations. The design flexibility of QUIXSTREAMER allows Internet appliances and PCs to act as information devices such as personal online portals or financial management monitors.

"Today, consumers predominantly use general-purpose PCs to access the Internet, send and receive e-mail and conduct e-commerce transactions, but this is changing rapidly. While PCs have become an accepted tool for both work and play, for many people PCs are complex, intimidating and unstable. They lack the 'instant on' gratification and media handling capabilities consumers have grown to expect from their home appliances such as televisions and other audio and stereo equipment," said Lawrence Duhart, founder, president and chief technical officer of Aurallyyours.com. "To truly make computing technology pervasive in the home and office, a new model for lifestyle and computing devices is required. Our new QUIXSTREAMER ENGINE is the foundation for that model." "The utility and pervasiveness of the Internet has created a need for a variety of targeted, affordable and easy-to-use devices other than the PC". "Aurallyyours.com believes that Information Appliances (IAs) will address the needs of not only the technophobe, but also the PC user who will use IAs in an adjunct role in a number of different usage scenarios."

Internet Appliances - The Requirements for Success
The Internet appliance is a new paradigm in computing without a required or established cartel of hardware reference designs or chip sets. The openness and flexibility of this new computing model more closely resembles the "consumer electronics" market than the "computing electronics" market, with a broader set of players and consumer choices. To be a player in the Internet appliance space, vendors need to deliver the user experience of high-quality, advanced technology with the operational simplicity of basic consumer electronics. QUIXSTREAMER delivers these characteristics for both consumers and appliance vendors: Ultra stable environment with minimal boot times QUIXSTREAMER delivers instant-on and fail-safe reliability that consumers have grown to expect from consumer technology devices such as television and cell phones.

Small footprint with highly scalable, modular environment
QUIXSTREAMER'S small footprint allows vendors to take advantage of this powerful application with popular mobile and personal Internet appliances. Vendors can leverage their design investments with QUIXSTREAMER across multiple devices and multiple architectures. As a complete application, QUIXSTREAMER consumes less than two hundred kilobytes (200kb) of persistent storage.

Branded Internet Access
QUIXSTREAMER enables channel branding similar to what cable television has done with popular news programming such as CNN. Service providers can brand an Internet appliance as a transparent extension of their web site or portal to increase customer traffic and brand affinity by using the Internet to deliver their own Internet channel.

Rich set of de facto standards
Internet appliances need to be standards-rich to protect consumer hardware investments as well as reducing developer's implementation cost and speeding time-to-market.

Devices Designed for Form and Function
Unlike PCs, which offer a generic set of features for virtually every application, lifestyle devices will more commonly serve as single function devices that excel in a specific area of focus. Therefore, an entertainment device will have a different look and feel and set of functions than a device from a financial services company that is designed to support online investing. To exploit the capabilities and form factor of the device, QUIXSTREAMER offers a powerful and configurable interface and the ability to offer custom application services, regardless of the chipset, motherboard or hardware OEM.

Created for Performance and Portability
QUIXSTREAMER is a slick, multi-media application designed to offer companies maximum design flexibility and to minimize the porting effort for hardware manufacturers to deliver a full-featured lifestyle experience. At the foundation of QUIXSTREAMER is the KLEARCODEC, an audio and graphical compression format also developed by aurallyyours.com. At the heart of most Internet appliances is the reliance on audio and video multimedia. QUIXSTREAMER focuses on streaming media services. At the highest level of the QUIXSTREAMER architecture lie application services and integration services. The application services capitalize on either client-side or host-side services to complement the tailored offering of the Internet appliance. These services can include, among other things, AP-e-mail support (AudioPix e-mail). Aurallyyours.com expects to license QUIXSTREAMER to device manufacturers later in Q4 2000. Commercial products based on the QUIXSTREAMER ENGINE are expected to begin shipping in Q3 2001.

Founded in 1980, Aurallyyours.com creates software and hardware applications that enable companies and individuals to create high-quality multimedia solutions for Internet appliances and personal computers. Aurallyyours.com is headquartered in Hollywood, California. Aurallyyours.com can be found on the web at http://www.aurallyyours.com.
