Nov. 19 – EVO Open Source Game Console Goes Live: Game
On Nov. 20 streaming event: Derrick Samuels debuts the final
version of EVO

ANNISTON, Ala. Envizions Nov. 19, 2009— Today the Envizions
Computer Entertainment Corporation announced it will be
broadcasting its first annual live coverage of the official EVO
open source game console, called EVO, on Nov. 20, 2009. The
broadcast will be streamed on the company Web site at
EnvizionsCorp.com (http://www.envizionscorp.com), at Facebook and
at Ustream.

There will be a pre-show and EVO demo units for attending
guests. Online guests will be able to send questions via Twitter
and get the most update information during the conference.

The conference will consist of keynotes from CEO and Founder
Derrick Samuels and lead programmer Zachary Sarver. EVO demo
stations will be onsite – along with a few other surprises.

Envizions will also begin a live Web cam broadcasting on Nov.
19, 2009, from its office for people that wish to have 24-hour
access on up-to-the-minute information at Envizions.

EVO is the first open console that users can modify, but full
support is available to mainstream users. EVO was developed using
all open source applications; additional software packages will be
added in the future. EVO was developed on the XBMC platform with
new updates and upgrades coming in the first quarter of 2010.

“We are slowly seeing more sales and have secured a educational
contract for more EVO units,” stated Derrick Samuels, CEO and
founder of Envizions. “EVO is very flexible for both home and
business.”

The system will make it easier for customers to watch live TV,
play games, save pictures, play music and also have full access to
Envizions’ cloud desktop. EVO can be connected to a TV or standard
PC monitor. The system will undergo periodically firmware upgrades
and free updates. Customers can also opt for additional support for
a low cost annual fee or lifetime support for only $195. These
benefits will be discussed in detail more at the EVO
conference.
