<strong>PNG</strong>-supporting Hardware<br />
various office applications. <strong>PNG</strong> is supported both as a standalone image format and within the<br />
browser, presumably. The 9290 may have similar features.)<br />
● netbox [Netgem] (Linux) - read-only; binary transparency. (This was a WebTV-like set-<strong>to</strong>p box<br />
for interactive TV, web browsing, e-mail, audio playback, and related functions. It conformed <strong>to</strong><br />
European standards, and a "(free) PC Linux-based version of the browser will be available soon."<br />
This product has been discontinued. It appears <strong>to</strong> have morphed in<strong>to</strong> the i-Player, above.)<br />
● PlayStation Portable [Sony] (embedded) - firmware version 1.0 and later; read-only; full alpha<br />
support as of version 2.0 (binary transparency prior <strong>to</strong> 2.0); no gamma support; commercial.<br />
(This is a handheld game console with a relatively complete embedded web browser.)<br />
● Snappy [Play] (Win32) - version 3.0 and later; write-only; commercial. (This is a hardware/<br />
software combo: a video-capture device that captures still images from any video source-videocams,<br />
TVs, VCRs--and image-manipulation and enhancement software that saves the<br />
images in various formats. This product has been discontinued, and the company is<br />
deceased.)<br />
● WaveCapture [Practical Electronic Tools] (Windows 9x) - all versions; write-only; commercial.<br />
(This is a hardware/software combo: an EISA data-capture card for Hewlett-Packard GPIB/IEEE-<br />
488 devices that can "print" high-resolution data <strong>to</strong> image files, and driver software that can<br />
convert and save <strong>to</strong> various image formats.)<br />
● WebTV [WebTV Networks / Philips / Sony] (WebTV) - versions since January 1999? read-only;<br />
no progressive display; full alpha support in versions since August 2000(?) (apparently); 32-bit<br />
alpha support (9 transparency levels; screenshots) and binary transparency for palette images<br />
(first palette entry only, regardless of number of transparent colors) in older releases; CSS<br />
background-image support; commercial. (This is a web browser embedded in a set-<strong>to</strong>p box; it<br />
displays pages on a standard analog television set. See also the WebTV Viewer for Win32 on the<br />
<strong>PNG</strong> browsers page.)<br />
● X-Box [Microsoft] (Windows NT?) - all versions? read-only; uses libpng and zlib; commercial.<br />
(This is a Wintel-based game console, and at least the Dashboard app has <strong>PNG</strong> support.)<br />
