What:
Intel President and COO, Paul Otellini, featured SnapStream Personal Video Station in his opening keynote at the Intel Developer’s Forum.
SnapStream was used to showcase the processing power and native wireless capabilities of Intel's new Banias processor for mobile devices. In an onstage mock-up of Starbucks, SnapStream was used to pull up live TV streamed out of the home over the Starbucks wireless network to a
Banias-enabled laptop.
"SnapStream is a Personal Video Recorder application that allows me to use my home PC with any broadband application and be able to stream live television to me here, wherever I am…I could switch channels, I could watch whatever I want. I could even record a show in the future for me
to play back at a later date," said Bill Kraus in Paul Otellini's keynote.
Personal Video Station is now available for review by consumer and technology publications. SnapStream PVS is designed for consumer entertainment, and allows users to record favorite television programs for anywhere, anytime viewing on portable devices such as laptops or PDAs.
