PortalPlayer has taken its integrated technology found in the majority of hard-drive-based music jukeboxes to the next level. The new Personal Media Player: Photo Edition development platform includes a System-on-Chip (SOC), Firmware Development Kit (FDK) and Software Development Kit (SDK) for consumer electronics and computer manufacturers to quickly bring to market a new category of products called "Personal Media Players." These battery-powered, hard-drive-based devices will allow consumers to record or capture, store, play and display their entire music, audio book, album art, photo and video (MJPEG) collections on a single device that fits in their pocket.
