San Francisco, CA; LinuxWorld — (press release excerpt) — OEone Corporation previewed Penzilla at Linux World Expo last week. A new, comprehensive Operating Environment platform, Penzilla can power a host of Internet devices ranging from webpads, set-top boxes, screen phones, and all-in-ones. Penzilla creates a unified environment delivering a seamless and rich experience to the end user and provides OEM customers with the opportunity to produce mass-appeal Internet devices.

Penzilla is based on the Mozilla browser engine, the Linux Operating System and a host of other open-source applications including productivity, entertainment, communications, and personal portal applications. By re-engineering the desktop using Mozilla technology, OEone offers increased functionality supporting all of the standard Internet applications. OEone demonstrated its vision for portal technology, showcasing applications such as a file manager, a versatile multimedia player, a calendar application, games, a word processor, and video from a camera in the television application. All these applications are delivered through Mozilla technology and OEone designed these fully interactive user interfaces using XUL, the XML-based user interface language.

By leveraging the Mozilla application platform, XML, and JavaScript for modeling both the UI and client-application logic, Penzilla enables a standards-based, vendor-independent computing environment, and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) now have a real alternative platform for building no-compromise applications delivered through the browser. With Penzilla, ISVs can develop customizable applications with advanced features without using resource intensive, platform specific code. Programmers need only become familiar with established standards and in turn can create applications that communicate and share data by avoiding platform specific languages, allowing mass-interoperability.
