PlayXpert announces partnership with Intel to include widgets on new mother boards.

Looking to strengthen its offering, PlayXpert announced a series of partnerships that will bring a multitude of technical and content channels into its corral. The largest partner by far is Intel. Intel will bundle PlayXpert's widget technology into its new gaming mother board the DX58SO. From the press release:

"Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), the world leader in silicon innovation, will bundle the PlayXpert widget technology in its upcoming Mother Board, Intel Desktop Board DX58SO. This is the first Nehalem-supporting motherboard and targets elite gaming and performance enthusiast customers. The DX58SO will be commercially available in 3Q08.

"This is a very high profile launch because it is the first board to support the all new 45nm Nehalem architecture," said Erik Cubbage, Product Manager, Intel Extreme Desktop Boards. "We wanted this new and exciting board to have the best-of-the-best user experience, so I searched for the best partnering accessory and software to complement the hardware. PlayXpert is just the type of high quality and innovative application Intel's customers have come to expect."

Another partner involved is Blue Orb (the manufacturer of Switchblade) which means that PlayXpert is definitely keeping the manufacturers and game controllers in their sights.
