Gerardo Alton Ortega, CEO and Founder of Digi-cards, has announced its intention to set the international headquarters of Digi-cards in Principat d'Andorra by 2012. Because of its infrastructure, one of the fastest fiber optics in the world, its location in Europe between France and Spain, and its worldwide access via Toulouse and Barcelona Airports a short distance away, Andorra offers an excellent place to work and operate such a highly technological company. The international headquarters will work side by side with the Miami office, which now serves as the international headquarters and worldwide operations center. Digi-cards has its IT operations in Argentina and manufacturing plants in China; Miami's headquarters remain an important asset to the company because of its wide Latin American presence, and now in Andorra, Digi-cards will have easy access to Europe and the Middle East.
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.

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.

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.
