amazing multimedia content with a small footprint. This gives us the ability
to deliver a robust and exciting experience for even the smallest devices."

devices continues to grow, ISVs want to ensure that their applications
are able to run on as many of these different devices as possible," said
Keith White, senior director of marketing for the Embedded and Appliance
Platforms Group at Microsoft Corp. "Amiga Anywhere enables application
developers to easily take advantage of the rich application and multimedia
