`X` Marks the Spot for Internet-Enabled Kiosks: `Point-of-presence` Solutions Provider Switches to Latest Mac OS X

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 8 -- Hoping to make an even bigger bang in an exploding Internet kiosk market, nanonation, a leading developer of Internet-enabled custom kiosk solutions and digital entertainment systems, has announced the release of their most advanced kiosk architecture -- one that is designed to take complete advantage of Mac OS X version 10.1, Apple`s next generation operating system.

Public access kiosk systems provide the ultimate challenge for hardware, software and operating systems. With leading technologies from Apple, nanonation intends to meet this challenge head on with a top-end system and a stable operating environment. The Mac OS X operating system has been used on the back end of nanonation`s solution in the form of WebObjects and QuickTime streaming servers ever since the technology was introduced. Now, with the latest Mac OS X on the front end, users can take complete advantage of the enhancements the new operating system offers.

According to Bradley Walker, President of nanonation, performance demands were the number one factor in creating a Mac OS X solution. "Our specialty is Internet-enabled entertainment, information and communication delivery systems that rely heavily on multimedia graphics and streaming media. Our new Mac OS X client handles our media-intensive applications extremely well, offers unbeatable stability and scales for larger installations. With Mac OS X and Apple`s incredible hardware platforms, we plan to offer a new line of solutions with a better price, faster performance and incredible reliability," said Walker.

"With a modern operating system, powerful streaming media applications and state-of-the-art hardware offerings, Apple provides an ideal platform for developers and VARS to innovate for their customers," said Ron Okamoto, Apple`s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "nanonation offers a unique approach to kiosk design and development, and their use of Mac OS X and QuickTime to create customized enterprise solutions is an excellent example of the Mac`s power and performance capabilities."

nanonation`s highly flexible kiosk architecture gives businesses an engaging and interactive platform to inform, entertain and communicate with their customers. The system supports a wide range of media elements including QuickTime, Flash, Java, video streaming and more. It offers a secure browsing environment, video-like media controls and an e-commerce architecture. Whether the application takes the form of a pay-for-play digital entertainment system or a retail kiosk, the architecture remains constant.

nanonation has chosen Frank Mayer & Associates (FMA), a leading display manufacturer with nearly 20 years of experience developing interactive kiosks, to deliver the Macintosh-based solutions. According to Sandra Nix, Vice President of Frank Mayer & Associates, "FMA is very enthusiastic about working with nanonation in designing Internet-enabled kiosk solutions that are driven by Apple technology and deliver performance superior to any other solution currently available. We believe nanonation has a unique and innovative solution for the kiosk marketplace."

"We are very exited to be working with one of the leading kiosk hardware developers in the country," said Walker. "With FMA`s latest designs, Apple`s hardware and operating system and the powerful media applications offered by our systems, I believe we`ve found the recipe for a new class of product for multimedia delivery."
