Commodore: Resurrected

December 21, 2005

commodore_64.jpgCommodore, the name behind early home computers like the Commodore 64, is back, and has been reinvented as "a designer, creator and full-service provider of digital media products, content and services."

Commodore will showcase the Commodore Multimedia Tower, Commodore MediaBox and the Commodore Navigator at this year’s CES convention.

“Never before has a brand come out of hibernation and truly reinvented itself to position competitively in an ever-evolving digital media marketplace,” said Commodore CEO Ben van Wijhe.

Commodore Product Line

Commodore Multimedia Tower – this kiosk makes it possible for customers to walk up and download all types of legal digital media to portable devices. Designed to be housed in retail environments, the media dispenser calls upon a database of music media featuring libraries from major music labels to bring top titles accessible via an easy-to-navigate user interface. The integrated card reader allows the user to quickly complete their transaction and start enjoying their media.

Commodore MediaBox – An all-in-one home entertainment set, the MediaBox is not only a hard disk recorder but features such options as playing videos, music and photos on television . The unit enables customers to use a wide range of services via television , including but not limited to music downloads, ring tones, games, video on demand and photo printing service. The MediaBox is equipped with a digital TV tuner that can record programs on its 80GB hard drive . Its Internet connection allows users to watch thousands of video streams, including thematic channels, sports, events, concerts and movie trailers. The remote MediaBox server updates weekly with new content streams.

Commodore Navigator - A multifunctional portable GPS device running on a Windows CE platform, the Navigator not only keeps one from getting lost but it also can keep one entertained en route, thanks to a 20GB hard drive and multiple functionality that includes loading, storing and playing a variety of audio and video files.

Its 3.6 inch touch screen operates in either day or night mode and uses both 2D and 3D images to tell you where you are and how to get where you’re going. Readouts show current location, distance to destination, speed, estimated time of arrival and what to do next to make it all happen.

Instructions are given vocally in your choice of 18 different languages, using speakers or headset. You can choose between car and cycling mode to find the most efficient route for your situation.

The Navigator Combo is also capable of MP3 decoding and plays both MP3 and WMA audio files. The Combo is DRM9 compatible for legal downloading of music files and able to play both MPEG and DivX video files.
