Viyya Technologies announced a strategic partnership with Xandros. The agreement gives Xandros exclusive rights to bundle Viyya technology with Xandros' custom OEM solutions to meet the needs of the growing number of users of Linux-based internet connected desktop and mobile devices.

Available as an optional feature in Xandros' custom OEM solutions, Viyya technology will also be offered through CNR technology at http://www.cnr.com, where Linux users can freely download hundreds of software and web applications with a single click.

"Cloud-based services and content access play an important role in the next-generation Linux-based netbooks and mobile internet devices," said Andreas Typaldos, Xandros CEO. "By bundling Viyya's filtering, parsing, and notification tools with Xandros' custom OEM solutions, users can get a handle on the onslaught of information from multiple sources to which we are continuously exposed."

"We see a growing demand from users for easy-to-use web-based content management for Linux-enabled netbooks and other internet connected devices," said John Bay, Viyya CEO. "By joining forces with Xandros we can deliver the Viyya product line to a proven platform for worldwide markets."
