Overview
With assistance from NASA's Ames Research Center, the iTV Corporation has developed a full custom microprocessor that enables access to the Internet through a $49 device. The microprocessor is supported with a compliment of design tools for customization and adaptation as either a licensable core or as a complete microprocessor. Other uses include cell phones, DVD players, cable modems, video conferencing equipment, digital cameras, wireless LANs and WANs. iTV continues to design new, low-cost consumer products.
