The PortalPlayer Preface personal media display (PMD) technology platform enables a second user interface in new notebook computers that integrates with Windows Vista through a new feature called Windows SideShow. The combination of these technologies enables notebook computer manufacturers to introduce a PMD for notebooks that is Always On and links to the programs and data stored on the main system.
Preface is also a new platform for developers to create mini-applications and gadgets that give users new functionality and access to information beyond what was previously available. The main components of the Preface platform include a low power processor, a small second display, flash memory and user controls that can be installed in various locations, including the notebook lid opposite the main display.
