Consumers' thirst for digital media consumption continues to grow but so
do the number of proprietary media management applications that dominate
the market.  Developers struggle to provide the best possible experience
for managing and organizing digital media (music, photos, movies, etc)
across all entertainment devices in the home and on the go, and have not
had the benefit of a major open source media management solution.  

Until Now. 

Universal Electronics (UEI) is at the forefront helping developers
provide the best possible experience for seamlessly accessing, managing
and enjoying all digital media assets from anywhere with its recently
unveiled SimpleCenter -- the open alternative to proprietary media
management applications.

SimpleCenter was designed to help developers deliver the future of
digital media management for acquiring, organizing, experiencing,
distributing, and sharing music, photos, movies, podcasts, and more.
SimpleCenter combines complete multimedia management and wireless device
connectivity in a single software program to help developers deliver
digital media solutions for automotive, home, and mobile electronics
markets.  

SimpleCenter is already distributed with devices from Nokia, Philips,
Delphi and others and synchronizes digital music, pictures, and movies
with iPods, PSP's, Xbox360 and most PlaysForSure compatible portable
media players. SimpleCenter even powers the Nokia N80, N93, and
soon-to-be-released N95 cell phones as the FIRST portable media devices
to *wirelessly* transfer digital media to and from your PC.
