InPlay Technologies And WPG Holdings To Market Digital Pen Technology

InPlay Technologies has partnered with RichPower Electronic Devices, a company of WPG Holdings, to expand business development efforts in Asia and India.

InPlay is targeting OEMs to incorporate its patented FinePoint technology for tablet PCs, smartphones and other mobile devices as well as partnerships with providers of complementary components such as LCDs and touch screens.

FinePoint is the only active RF pen input solution with digital stream communication available today. The analog technology used on most systems uses an analog communication method with limited expansion capability. InPlay's digital technology offers OEMs an almost limitless roadmap for development of features and functions for their product designs. InPlay recently introduced its initial advancement using digital stream communication with its InPEN, the first intelligent pen for integration with tablet PCs.

"InPlay's digital pen technology offers advantages for today's mobile computing devices as well as a roadmap that enables product innovation in the future," said Al Hamilton, CEO, WPG Gateway Inc. - a member of WPG Holdings.

WPG Holdings is Asia's leading electronics distributor. Headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan, it has a solid and complete Asia-Pacific service network with over 30 sales offices around greater China and the Asia-Pacific region. WPG will provide a local presence to market and support InPlay's relationships in Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and India.
