As one of the nation's leading technology distributors specializing in emerging trends across IT, electronics, entertainment and gaming, D&H will distribute OXX Digital’s high-end WiFi Internet radio devices into the North America consumer electronics market. OXX Digital products were first showcased to North American retailers during the D&H 2008 Fall Mid-Atlantic Dealer Show in the Emerging Technology Pavilion of the Hershey Lodge and Convention Center in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, October 7, 2008.
OXX Digital brings an array of WiFi Internet radios to the market featuring Scandinavian design and incorporating the world's leading Internet radio chipset.
