Nanonation Incorporates Apple's Safari and Quartz Extreme Technologies New Software Release Doubles Speed and Improves Customer Interactions

Lincoln, NE - June 24, 2003 - Nanonation, a Nebraska-based developer of customer experience software solutions, announced a new and improved version of its Nanopoint Software for kiosks and interactive marketing systems. The latest release extends its industry-leading software architecture by imbedding the latest Apple technologies of Safari, Open GL, and Quartz Extreme.

Nanonation's latest software has been re-engineered to be 100% native Mac OS X Mach O application to further take advantage of the stability and performance of Apple's Mac OS X operating system. Nanopoint's embedded web browser technology is now based on WebKit, the same browser engine used to drive Apple's latest browser, Safari, while Core Graphics is used for all static image display and text rendering. These enhancements provide faster performance in all aspects of media handling and display. Internet content loads up to twice as fast as previous versions, while media elements in the interface draw faster and respond quicker to customer requests.

In addition, a new layer-based technology for compositing graphics, text, and other media widgets enables the software to composite content like QuickTime movies over other content in real time with individual windows and layers having full alpha-level control. This architecture provides for faster development time and more media-rich interface designs.

Nanopoint software is available immediately for businesses implementing customer technologies such as kiosks, dynamic signage, or interactive systems and is currently being deployed in numberous retail, hospitality, and entertainment locations throughout the United States.
