John Wang, CEO of IAdea Corporation and developer of the new chip said in a response, “This new service architecture is infinitely scalable, delivers faster as more users join, and can be built at a fraction of the cost of a traditional server farm. We see this trend emerging as ‘Web 3.0′ where each consumer becomes part of a universal content storage and delivery system. Our new chip plays part in the new paradigm by making BitTorrent available efficiently and economically. You should not be surprised if you find your next car or cellphone enabled with our technology.”

The processors will be available to hardware manufacturers within a couple of months to embed in existing products such as wireless routers, NAS, mobile phones and DVD players. Last October, BitTorrent Inc announced deals with Asustek Computers, Planex Communication and QNAP Systems to build BitTorrent compatible routers and other devices.

“We are thrilled to announce new CE devices enhanced with our technology, enabling consumers to enjoy a world of digital content even when they are away from their PCs,” said Ashwin Navin, president and co-founder of BitTorrent. “While already synonymous with efficient file delivery, BitTorrent is extending our reach beyond the PC and into a number of products and services to further strengthen the bridge between content and devices.”

The following products are currently supporting BitTorrent downloads:

Earlier this year we reviewed the BitTorrent compatible wireless router that was introduced by Asustek. The WL-700gE router has a built-in hard drive and BitTorrent client, so you can download your favorite torrents even when your PC is switched off. Although the idea is nice, the implementation is still very buggy. But this is likely to change now that they have some competitors on the market.
