Digi-cards for Political Candidates

MADRID, SPAIN.
MAY.23.2011
DIGI-CARDS AND POLITICAL PARTIES A MATCH MADE IN SPANISH HEAVEN
During these recent elections in Spain, the political party that bet on Digi-cards won in a landslide. Did Digi-cards do it? Maybe. There is no doubt that technology helps political campaigns achieve goals. This time, a gadget might have tipped the younger crowd toward the party that took a chance on Digi-cards. The PP (Partido Popular) won by a landslide and the only new technology applied during campaigning was Digi-cards. The PP used the Digi-cards with exclusive content of its candidates (bios, pictures, videos, speeches, etc.) and distributed them freely at congresses, marches, speeches and probably the most important place: educational institutions, where the fresh new voter has not decided which route to take and is the most likely end user of a Digi-card Download Card. Two things are certain: the PP will govern Spain in the upcoming years and Digi-cards are a technology here to stay for many years.

MIAMI, FL.
MAR.02.2011
DIGI-CARDS READY FOR IPAD 2
Apple's iPad 2 was released today and as expected it does not carry a USB port which shows the tendency of the industry to move on to virtual file download access instead of flash drive or SanDisk physical multimedia distribution. Digi-cards is ready for the challenge being one of the only options for a tangible and physical multimedia distribution device. With the new iPad 2's embedded cameras and a soon to be release Digi-cards application for Apple's mobile devices (iPad, iPhone and iPod touch) Digi-cards is only a click away (via camera) from end user multimedia enjoyment. Because of Apple's restrictions on third party multimedia you can only stream Digi-cards content through their devices but you have the option to download the multimedia to personal computers and then upload them to each device, it is expected that those restrictions will lift soon. Digi-cards are the world's leader producer of digital download cards in the world and soon to be one of the only options to physically distribute any multimedia to the masses.

DRM ON DEMAND TO CLIENTS THAT REQUIRE IT
Digital Rights Management has been a hot topic throughout the years, however in certain places around the world it is almost a requirement, therefore Digi-cards has selected HaiHaisoft Corporation and their DRM-X product for those special cases. Almost all of Digi-cards downloadable content is DRM free but the rapid globalization of Digi-cards has created the need for some type of DRM for the clients that require it. Digi-cards + DRM will be available for customers that request their documents, video and audio are better protected from illegal distribution through the internet or other means. Digi-cards with DRM will be clearly noted or advertised in the distributed product and although it is now an option for clients it is expected to have a very small percentage of demand.
