Lindon, UT — (press release excerpt) — Lineo and Transvirtual Technologies today announced that they have formed a global distribution agreement that will establish Lineo as the preferred embedded Linux vendor and distribution source of Transvirtual's Java and XML embedded Linux platform, PocketLinux.

Lineo expects to begin distribution of PocketLinux early in 2001. PocketLinux recently won the joint Linux Journal / COMDEX “Best New Product” award. PocketLinux for Lineo Embedix will provide a complete embedded Linux platform by combining the flexibility and interoperability of the Java and XML communication languages with the Embedix solution. This product solution will more effectively run a spectrum of devices, including PDAs, cell phones, and TV set-top boxes.

“This combined offering [is] one of the most innovative embedded Linux products on the market today,” said Kim Clark, Lineo senior vice president and general manager of the Embedix Product Group. “PocketLinux has already proven its flexibility as an Internet-connected PDA platform by running VTech's Helio and Compaq's iPAQ.”
