InnoMedia Background At InnoMedia, we observe three market trends that present opportunities to us. They are the growth of multimedia, the growth of digital communication and the growth of processor speed. The growth of the PC market spurs the growth of multimedia. Information is increasingly being presented in multimedia form. Books and encyclopedias are being pressed into compact discs. Interactive games and edutainment titles flourish. Multimedia information calls for digital representation. Digital communication has also taken off. The Internet has become the infrastructure for most digital communication. For high quality real time communication which internet cannot offer, international standards are being established which will fuel growth. At this same time, wireless communication is growing rapidly, propelled by the demand for ubiquitous access. Portable devices are gaining popularity and information appliances are emerging -- all because of the availability of more powerful and affordable processors. InnoMedia Vision InnoMedia was born out of our belief that these trends will affect all walks of life. We envisage they represent huge opportunities for the home and small offices. These trends will manifest themselves as information appliances in the mass market, carrying multimedia contents through a wide area network to reach virtually every corner of the world. InnoMedia is well-positioned to provide innovative products to fill the needs of the mass market.
