Makayama Interactive release Media Studio for TomTom

Makayama Interactive release a video compression and viewing suite for the TomTom GO.

The TomTom GO is based on the Open Source Linux operating system. The essence of the Open Source project is that it allows other developers to use the code as a basis for developing applications. TomTom produced the navigation software for the GO, and there have been some "proof of concept" applications developed, but the first (to my knowledge) 'proper' application is the Makayama Interactive Media Studio for TomTom.

Back in March we met the guys from Makayama Interactive on our stand at CeBIT, where we saw a demo of the Media Studio for TomTom output. This has now been finalised and is available at €29.95 plus VAT from the Makayama Interactive web site.

So what does it do?

Basically there are 2 parts to the software. The first runs on your PC and converts Video from any source (including DVD) into a highly compressed file that will fit onto a 128Mb or larger memory card. The second application is installed on your TomTom GO (not the GOx10 models at the moment) and is used to view the movie. The clever guys at Makayama Interactive have even built in a safety cutout to stop the video if the car is moving.
