Changes

BroadOn originally worked on the iQue Player (Chinese version of the Nintendo 64). The console has finally been hacked and the ROMs and the SDK for it have been released in 2018.

The name of the company was most likely changed to iGWare due to a lawsuit between Broadcom and BroadOn, possibly relating to their name and/or the chip manufacturing business.  

 

The name of the company was changed to iGware probably because, we found a court case between BroadOn and Broadcom (a company that makes chips, not the kind you snack on), so they might have been forced to change their name because it was similar. The court case could also be a patent infringement because BroadOn also made chips, maybe?

When BroadOn merged with Acer Cloud Computing, the NUS service they made was reused for deploying cloud apps. The domain they use on SOAP requests is "nus.wsapi.broadon.com", and continued to be used even after they were called iGware.
