End the hiding here. First Internet TV solution available outside of US, Japan, or Europe. Already supported by banks, utilities, retail outlets, and other content providers. Called Philips MyWeb, the new STB allows TV viewers to shop at home, pay bills, exchange email, join chat rooms, play online games - even order pizza. Thanks to the highly customizable web technology that QNX provided, we were able to achieve that goal - you simply plug the MyWeb terminal into a phone jack and your TV, enter your user name onscreen, and you're ready to surf.
Users can also browse and send email using an optional infrared keyboard.
Even upgrading the software on MyWeb is easy. From the user's point of view, the unit is maintenance free. We're even getting calls from government agencies asking that we work with them to co-develop applications for teaching children and elderly workers. QNX pioneered the use of web-enabled consumer products in countries like France, Germany, Sweden, and Finland. Now, with Philips, we're providing the first Internet TV solution available outside of the US, Japan, or Europe.
