Power Digital Card Co., Ltd. (PDC) launches VIRCS platform (Virtual Computing System platform) in its PSd (Personal Storage Disc) products. VIRCS will be a system platform open to third party developers to add in applications that can be accessed from PC or CE products.

VIRCS is a software platform which can be used only in PSd products. Initial applications available for PC are:

• Host Lock - Enhance the security login of PC or Laptop, allowing PC unable to be activated without PSd.
• Portable Desktop - Portable Email: Outlook Express/Outlook (optional) activated from PSd. No traces are left in PC.
• Portable IE Browser: All websites and favorites are saved and activated from PSd. No traces of browsed websites or cookies are left in PC.
• Portable Web Account (optional) - ID's and passwords to different web accounts are stored and activated from PSd.
• Storage Function: Portable Doc/ Contents/ Pictures/ Music / Personal Backup.
• Secured Storage: Documents are coded and secured in PSd with passwords.
• Sync Center: All of the above can be synchronized between PSd and PC.

Programming of VIRCS is continuing for CE applications. When completed, VIRCS will become the single platform shared between PC and CE devices. All applications on VIRCS between PC and CE will be activated from a single VIRCS window. Protocols will be open on VIRCS for third party independent developers.

PSd with VIRCS will be offered in full densities ranging from 8MegaByte to 4GigaByte 1H this year. The 8GigaByte and 16GigaByte are expected to be available 2H this year with the 32GigaByte and 64GigaByte expected to be available by 2008. Starting from the 32GigaByte density, PSd will be utilizing new flash memory technologies called liquid flash. This will be based on 5 nanometer designs with 1 nanometer designs as target for technology upgrades. Having 128GigaByte or 512GigaByte memories within the palm of human hands may no longer be a dream in the near future.
