Tuxera exFAT Now Available for Android and Linux

First exFAT solution for embedded Linux based on Microsoft
documentation

Taipei, Taiwan [COMPUTEX] – June 1, 2010 – Tuxera, the leading
designer of Windows-compatible file systems for Linux, Mac, and
other platforms, today announced the release of Tuxera exFAT for
Android and other Linux systems. Developed using technical
documentation provided by Microsoft Corp., Tuxera exFAT provides
outstanding performance and stability, and meets the latest SDXC
memory card standards.

“The wait is over. I am thrilled to tell everyone we now have
the world’s first exFAT implementation for Android. Thanks to our
latest innovations and strong relationship with Microsoft, we can
guarantee blazingly fast performance for flash drives and energy
efficient consumer electronics,” said Mikko Välimäki,
Tuxera CEO. “Tuxera’s exFAT for Android is not just the first to
market, but it is also built on a very portable codebase that we
will strive to make the de facto standard.”

Tuxera is now forming partnerships with leading hardware,
device, and operating system manufacturers to meet the growing
demand for high-definition video and other embedded
applications.

“exFAT is a modern file system designed to handle very large
files, and we are pleased to support Tuxera’s development of an
exFAT file system implementation,” said David Kaefer, general
manager of Intellectual Property Licensing at Microsoft. “To
provide necessary patent rights, Microsoft will offer a patent
agreement that companies can sign if they are building a device
that includes the Tuxera exFAT implementation.”

Tuxera is a member of the SD Association where it works together
with exFAT host device and card manufacturers to enable a smooth
transition from FAT to exFAT file system technology that lifts the
device and file size limits for SD cards. For example, with Tuxera
exFAT new SDXC compatible devices can record normal-length, full-HD
videos.

Tuxera exFAT has been successfully tested on Android and other
versions of Linux. To request an evaluation version of the product,
