OEone Corporation, a leading software developer, and Tatung Co. of Canada Inc., a leading Electronics manufacturer, today announced that they have entered into a joint agreement to bring fully-integrated, Linux-based Internet Computer solutions to leading OEM customers.

The centerpiece of the agreement is an exclusive arrangement between the two parties to fully integrate OEone's Linux-based Operating Environment and web applications with Tatung's All-In-One plus additional custom computer designs. The key to the combined offering is that the Operating System software and applications are fully tested together with the exact hardware configuration, ensuring that the unit will operate right out of the box, similar to traditional household appliances. The consumer can look forward to increased reliability and avoid the irritation of incompatibilities that can often occur in today's computer offering.

"This strategic alliance marks a new way of working closely with software developers to customize an integrated Linux solution, where our hardware configuration is taken into consideration," noted Mr. Edward Kuo, President of Tatung Canada. "Our combined offering brings key differentiation and affordability as compared to any other solution available in the market today."
