hand-held devices to their television sets. "With !ROFL, we have taken
the applications to big screen TVs, not only providing a 1080P High
Definition content viewing experience, while enjoying the full range of
Android supported applications," said Dr. Nick Karnik, IN Media C.E.O.

library. !ROFL takes advantage of Cloud Computing solutions.

Time is the new Prime Time,” Dr. Karnik said.
