Turbolinux Provides the Totally New Linux Desktop Style with the New Device "wizpy".

TOKYO -- Turbolinux, Inc., a global leader of Linux-based solutions, announced last week in Japan that they will release the new product "wizpy," which is a Linux-embedded, portable USB bootable device with digital audio capability.

The main concept of wizpy is to "turn all the world's computers into your PC."

The idea behind this product is that everyone thinks that the operating system has to come with computers. On the other hand, Turbolinux separated the operating system and computers, and created OS portability. By connecting this 60g small device to any computer, wherever you want, you can use "your own" operating system and "your own" desktop. Turbolinux ensures that this revolutionary separation brings enormous benefits to your PC life as follows:

First, you do not have to carry around a heavy laptop computer anymore because, with wizpy, all the data and applications you need are always in your hand. There is no need to carry a heavy laptop.

Second, the security level becomes much higher since all the data is always in your hand. No one can sneak in your office, open up your desktop computer, and steal your data anymore. In addition, you can feel safe to trade stock online in a public space like an Internet cafe because no data is left behind on the computer.

Third, the privacy level becomes much higher. Imagine if you share a computer with your family, but you don't want to show your information to others. With wizpy, your privacy, including files and bookmarks, is always in your hand, and no one else can reach it.

In addition, wizpy has portable digital player features including a music player, movie player, photo viewer, and FM Radio, etc. Thus, you can use wizpy as a cool entertainment tool even if you don't need a computer.

Therefore, Turbolinux believes that wizpy revolutionizes your PC life.

The product will become available, first in Japan, on February 2007 and will gradually be released in other areas of the world in later 2007.
