Beatnik-powered mobile devices now number in the millions of units shipped. These devices are being used in Europe and the United States, and include devices from a number of the top 10 mobile device manufacturers in the industry. Beatnik’s partnerships with key software platform vendors such as Symbian, as well as industry standard hardware platform providers such as ARM, Texas Instruments and Intel, position the Beatnik technology as the fastest growing software-based audio solution for mobile devices.

With Beatnik’s support of industry standard technology such as SP-MIDI, XMF, and DLS, and our inclusion in such products as Metrowerks’ Code Warrior for Symbian OS™ is an excellent platform for which content and application developers alike can begin to build. Originally designed as an audio subsystem for gaming, the BAE offers an incredible collection of interactive API calls, giving developers the tools they need to create leading-edge end user entertainment.

Most importantly, Beatnik’s technology exists in devices today, making developers’ time to market a non-issue.
