The company believes that their device would be great for mobile devices, with the proximity used for bringing up a menu or to control a mouse pointer. They also say that their modifications should not cost a bundle for manufacturers who want to use it.

Organic Blu-Rays Unveiled

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Home Entertainment, Movies
