"In response to great user feedback, our plan is to proliferate Express Gate across our entire motherboard product portfolio, starting with over one million motherboards per month," says Joe Hsieh, General Manager, ASUS Motherboard Business Unit. "Consumers want to turn their PCs on and off like any other appliance, and Express Gate has made that possible."

Splashtop enables users to read e-mail, chat with friends, share photos, or surf the Web seconds after turning on their PC. DeviceVM works with a wide range of manufacturers to incorporate Splashtop into computers. The company plans to have numerous Splashtop-enabled motherboards, desktops, and laptops available internationally in 2008.
