As an audio hub, HARP can access, store, and organize both Internet-source music and traditional media for an entire household. Users can customize playback, adding audio and even video output effects. HARP is designed to be integrated into components produced by consumer electronics companies and home stereo component manufacturers. Device providers can use HARP's modular design to incorporate a range of capabilities into a branded consumer device. Remote maintenance of the device is possible because of HARP's MAP functionality.
Providers can update and change the device without end-user intervention.
This allows vendors to accomodate new file formats. According to Be, Inc., HARP will be available to device manufacturers in the second quarter of this year. Please e-mail us with your comments, questions and press releases. Copyright 2001 INT Media Group, Incorporated All Rights Reserved.
