TUXIA, a manufacturer of embedded Linux software for
Internet appliances and thin clients, today announced the release
of Nanozilla, the first commercial release of a Mozilla-based
browser specifically optimized for Internet appliances. The
integration of Nanozilla in the TASTE& (TUXIA Appliance
Synthesis Technology) software suite enables TUXIA to provide true
desktop browser compatibility in the smallest possible footprint to
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), independent software
vendors (ISVs), systems integrators (SIs) and value-added resellers
(VARs).Nanozilla is based on the Mozilla open-source Web browser and
has been engineered to meet the unique requirements of Internet
appliances. Among the most important enhancements are dramatically
reduced flash memory and RAM requirements, graphical user
interfaces tailored for intuitive usage, and a built-in window
manager optimized for low-resolution devices like set-top boxes,
PDAs and WebPADS.
