"The typical development cycle for a handset is 12 to 24 months. With Virtual Platforms from Virtio allowing parallel software development, you can potentially reduce that development cycle by six to nine months. We have seen a huge reduction in our development time by being able to test and validate software before the first silicon samples are received. " Berardino Baratta, director, Wireless Strategy Office, Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. |

"In order for customers to quickly develop products based on the Intel PXA250 applications processor, it's important that they have ready access to development platforms that extend the functionality of the processor to include peripherals and system interfaces. Virtio's Virtual Platforms offer an exciting approach to delivering a development platform in software. With the Virtio VPXS platform, our customers can have immediate access to a model of the Intel PXA250 applications processor development platform and start creating and integrating critical software needed to enable their end products." Mark Casey, Director of Marketing for Handheld Computing Division, Intel Corp. |

"TI used the VPOM-2430 Virtual Platform successfully to accelerate
software development for the OMAP2430 processor device. Because of the
effective simulation environment provided by Virtio, our teams were able
to immediately run and test our software when the OMAP2430 processor became
available. Virtio is a key element of TI's plan to reduce the time needed
to provide software after silicon becomes available." Avner Goren, Worldwide Marketing Director, Cellular Systems, Wireless
Terminal Business Unit, Texas Instruments |

“We are pleased to be able to include Virtio's
Softboard technology among the offerings provided in our third party CD. This demonstrates
the flexibility and extensibility of Borland C++BuilderX. For our users, being able to
develop and run software applications on a software-based implementation of a typical
mobile device is of significant value in terms of their effectiveness, both from a
time and cost perspective, in developing next generation products. And, because the
Softboard is extensible via web updates in terms of software as well as hardware, our
users can keep pace with technology enhancements as they happen.” J.P. LeBlanc, vice president and general manager of mobile and C++ solutions |

"We are a software firm with years of expertise in creating tools
for software developers. We have long understood that availability of hardware is one of the key factors
causing delays in embedded software development schedules and in order to increase the overall value of
our product for our customers, we needed to be able to deliver a more comprehensive development
environment that incorporates an accurate representation of the final hardware platform. With Virtio's
technology, we are able to deliver that value-add and achieve a significant competitive edge against
other providers in the market." David Clifton, Vice President of Segment Marketing, Metrowerks |
