Panasonic Ottava SC-C500 HiFi System Named a CES 2016 Innovation Awards Honoree
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic today announced that it has been named a CES 2016 Innovation Awards Honoree for the OTTAVA SC-C500 HiFi System in the High Performance Home Audio/Video Product Category. With a SU-C501 CD Stereo Amplifier, powerful OTTAVA speakers and high-resolution audio support, the new all-in-one system offers a compact design and impressive audio quality.

Featuring many of Technics' innovative components, including the JENO Engine, LAPC and Battery Driven Clock Generator, the OTTAVA SU-C501 lets you enjoy music with the highest sound quality. The OTTAVA speaker system has two woofers designed to reduce cabinet vibrations, in addition to a spiral acoustic port design that delivers rich and powerful bass. The speakers employ different technology to emit either high or low frequencies; low/mid frequency sounds are diffused by a reflector for clarity and resonance while tweeters are designed to deliver crisp and accurate high-frequency sounds.
The new system gives consumers the ability to enjoy immersive sound on a range of devices. Whether you're listening via high-res network audio, CD, USB memory device, USB-DAC or smartphone, control is easy and efficient via the latest Technics smartphone app.
"Panasonic is dedicated to constantly elevating the technology and design of our products and we are honored to have once again been recognized by the Consumer Technology Association," said Julie Bauer, President, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company. "For years, the Technics brand has been synonymous with rich, high resolution audio. The OTTAVA HiFi system is able to deliver a powerful audio experience typically associated with significantly larger amplifiers to enhance the style of any home."
The prestigious CES Innovation Awards are sponsored by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)(TM), the producer of CES 2016, the global gathering place for all who thrive on the business of consumer technologies, and have been recognizing achievements in product design and engineering since 1976.

Panasonic Launches LUMIX G 100-400mm Telephoto-Zoom, LEICA DG VARIO-ELMAR Lens
New lens combines 200-800mm zoom (35mm equivalent) and 4K video compatibility in a durable and lightweight body
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic announced today at CES 2016 a new telephoto lens for its LUMIX G range of Micro Four Thirds System cameras - the LEICA DG VARIO-ELMAR 100-400mm F4.0-6.3 ASPH. Telephoto-Zoom (H-RS100400) with Power Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.).
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160104/319064
Small, light and highly durable, the latest addition to Panasonic's range of interchangeable lenses is perfectly suited for photographing birds and other wildlife in all types of environments.
The lens is constructed of 20 elements in 13 groups and incorporates a number of aspherical and extra low dispersion elements to assure best quality and avoid flaring. The advanced construction of the new Telephoto-Zoom leads to highest quality standard earning the LEICA Logo for a LUMIX Lens once again.
Outstanding image quality and Telephoto-Zoom performance
Elegantly designed with a metallic black finish, the new 100mm-400mm LEICA DG VARIO-ELMAR lens from Panasonic provides superb image rendering across the entire zoom range. The lens' 200-800mm focal length (35mm equivalent) and 0.5x Magnification capability provide highly detailed shots from distance, as well as stunning close up capability- ideal for subject matter regardless of shape and size.
In order to capture steady, vibration free images across the entire zoom range, the lens also incorporates Power O.I.S. to keep unwanted shaking under control and ensure pictures look crisp and clear.
The 100mm-400mm lens is also suited to a variety of photographic styles - with nine diaphragm blades providing a circular aperture to produce a smooth and beautiful bokeh.

Similarly, the lens also boasts a durable, gapless construction so you no longer have to worry about unwanted dust or light rain damaging your equipment.
In addition to the lens' practical size and weight, a compact, two-part tripod mount has also been incorporated to enable faster conversion between landscape and portrait orientation. While conveniently and speedily turning to the 90 degree angle, the levers for Focus Limiting, Power O.I.S. and the manual focus switch remain right at your fingertips as they do not move when you turn the lens.
The lens also incorporates an integrated, hideaway hood to help you capture that perfect shot, without having to worry about sun glare.
Stunning 4K video capability
Panasonic's new LEICA Telephoto-Zoom lens is perfectly suited for 4K video recording with its construction assuring the best contrast and colors. Furthermore the Telephoto-Zoom incorporates Panasonic's high speed and precise 240 fps AF-motor. Due to the modern design, filming can also be conducted silently, so you can get up close to the subject without drawing attention.
As well as high resolution video, the lens' 4K capability also enables you to take photos like never before. Panasonic's 4K Photo function - found on LUMIX G cameras including the LUMIX DMC-G7 - lets you extract an 8-megapixel still from 4K video (30fps) easily right on the camera's screen with a simple fingertip touch.
Key features:

Panasonic's High-Power Blender Highlighted At CES 2016
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic's first High-Power Blender in the US market is on display this week at CES 2016. The MX-ZX1800 is part of Panasonic's expanded line-up of healthy-lifestyle small home appliances.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160104/319058
The Panasonic High-Power Blender (SRP: $599.95) features a stainless steel six-blade cutting system which can chop, cream, blend, heat, grind, churn, and more with a single machine. It is available immediately at panasonic.com and other fine retailers.
High-Performance Blending
The two-tiered unique six-blade cutting system and powerful 1200 watt motor crushes ice and cuts, chops and purees whole fruits and vegetables in seconds -- including skins and seeds for added vitamins and nutrients -- for the ultimate in fresh, healthy foods, drinks and treats. No need to pre-cut ingredients.
Create healthy juice filled with fiber, delicious fruit smoothies and more. The blender's upper blades have straight edges for rough cutting while the lower blades have jagged edges for fine cutting. The dual blade system works together (19,000 rpm) for smooth and consistent results and is removable for easy cleaning.
Six Pre-Programmed Settings
The Panasonic MX-ZX1800's six pre-programmed settings - smoothie, juice, frozen treats, puree/dip, nuts/coffee beans, and soup - provides one-touch control with walk-away convenience via an electrostatic Touch Sensor Control with blue LED.
High-Capacity Pitcher with Ice Jacket
The Panasonic High-Power Blender features a Tritan Reinforced Resin Jar (1.8 liter capacity) with an ice jacket for keeping beverages cool. The blender's long-lasting motor (180-hour) is rated for eight minutes of continuous operation. A convenient Accelerator/Tamper tool is also included.

Panasonic Introduces the Technics Grand Class G30 Series: The Next Generation of HiFi Components
New network amplifier and music server engineered to deliver uncompromising sound quality
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic introduced today at CES 2016 the new Technics Grand Class G30 Series, incorporating next-generation HiFi audio components that deliver uncompromising sound quality and a premium user experience. The G30 Series is expected to be available in the US market in early 2016.
Consisting of two HiFi audio devices - the SU-G30 Network Audio Amplifier and ST-G30 Music Server - the Grand Class Series has been designed to help deliver a professional quality musical performance within the home. Using its decades of audio technology experience, Technics has combined reference-class digital technology, optimal circuitry and system configurations to create one of the most advanced HiFi systems available today.
Reference-class Audio, High Resolution Sound
Inheriting Technics' reference-class audio technology concept from its R1 Series predecessor, the SU-G30's JENO Engine transmits and processes audio signals in full digital and with minimal jitter from the input stage to the power stage. The result is audio with the breath-taking clarity and distinct instrumentation that brings your favorite songs to life in the comfort of your home.
The SU-G30's GaN-FET Driver performs high-speed switching with minimal loss, resulting in audio that's authentic to the original recording. Meanwhile, the amplifier's LAPC conducts speaker load adaptive phase calibration to provide optimal performance tailored to whatever style of speakers you have connected. A low-distortion switching power supply has also been added to the SU-G30 in order to suppress frequency fluctuations caused by load shifting, and subsequently minimize the sound distortion.
Simplicity and Performance Realized by the Most Advanced Digital Technology
The SU-G30 features a built-in network playback circuit that has been meticulously engineered to remove jitter and unwanted background noise.
This is achieved by incorporating a highly efficient circuit structure. The amplifier transmits digital audio data through the shortest possible route from the music source all the way through to the power stage. The effect is extremely low levels of signal degradation and uncompromised sound quality. This minimalist approach to engineering is reflected in the unit's user interface and app operation, both of which represent a carefully balanced combination of elegant design and usability.
High-Quality Processing of All Types of Signal Sources
The SU-G30 Network Audio Amplifier supports a diverse variety of input sources, ranging from legacy, right through to the most advanced high-resolution audio formats (384-kHz/32-bit, DSD11.2 MHz).
Compatible with the likes of online music streaming services, Internet radio, digital audio (DLNA, USB, Bluetooth) and analogue audio (Line, Phono), the SU-G30 digitally processes all types of signal source allowing you to enjoy all your favourites like you've never heard them before.
Music Server ST-G30: Network Audio Engineered for Premium Performance
HiFi-Grade Data Transmission
The ST-G30 is equipped with a Solid State Drive (SSD), which unlike a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) has no moving parts and remains completely silent. This is complimented by Digital Noise Isolation Architecture that reduces noise and jitter to the lowest possible levels, so you will only ever experience the sounds that you've chosen to listen to.
High quality music data is transferred to the player via the Optimally Activated Circuit System, while Low Noise USB Transfer ensures stable USB output power to achieve extremely accurate data transfers. Whether you're listening to audio via your high resolution audio library or streaming your favourite song straight from an online music service, you can be confident that it will never have sounded better.
Bit-Perfect CD Ripping
The internal CD drive is manufactured exclusively by Technics. It is enclosed in a silent shelter and rigidly mounted at the centre of the casing to minimise vibrations and noise, while also guaranteeing accurate reading of CD data.
The ST G30 also allows you to rip your entire CD collection without compression, making your old music easier to access and enjoy and without having to worry about a loss in sound quality. What's more, Technics' Bit-Perfect Ripping technology readjusts read error characteristics, performs read retries, and carries out comparative verification to ensure that ripped copies are unaffected by minor imperfections on the CD and accurate to the original version.
Usability Optimized for Network Audio
The ST-G30 features a user interface that allows a variety of operations, such as creating a music library from a smartphone app, editing tags and tweaking settings. This provides simple operation and allows you to immerse yourself fully in your favorite music without having to access a laptop, tablet or PC.

Huawei Launches Cutting-Edge Mate 8 Smartphone
LAS VEGAS, January 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Beautifully crafted flagship device offers features to complement the pace of life in
2016Â Â
Today the Huawei Consumer Business Group [http://consumer.huawei.com/en/mobile-phones ]
(BG) unveiled the Huawei Mate 8 smartphone, a flagship device that offers the performance
and features needed by on-the-go consumers in 2016. Featuring unparalleled performance,
elegant design and cutting-edge technology, the Huawei Mate 8 is designed to be the
perfect phone for the busy, time-pressed professional of today.

The Mate 8 has a wide range of new features that help the device stand out from the
competition. A new generation of fingerprint technology allows the phone to be both smart
and secure; for example, the fingerprint-recognition system will make online mobile
purchases easier and faster than ever before.
Users can also expect a revolution in mobile photography, thanks to three years of
research and development. Huawei has developed the first 'proprietary image sensor
processor' which will give users faster focusing, higher clarity and more accurate colours
to their photography.
An 8 megapixel front camera has also been included on the device, enabling the perfect
selfie. The camera has been further enhanced by a new beauty algorithm to enhance skin
tones in photographs.
In so many ways, the device is also more intuitive than ever before, not least with
the business card-scanning capability. This allows for contacts to be added simply by
capturing a business card with the phone's camera.
"When we envisioned the Huawei Mate 8, we knew we needed to deliver a device that
offers global business professionals speed, convenience and connectivity in a beautifully
designed package that stands out in a competitive landscape," said Kevin Ho, President of
Huawei Handset BU - Huawei Consumer Business Group. "We're proud to deliver a smartphone
that offers the performance and features needed to allow users to stay connected, stay
productive and achieve more in every facet of their lives."
The Huawei Mate 8's enhanced processors allow all of the above and more to happen at
the same time, without any drop in performance. This is perfect for today's user, who
relentlessly multi-tasks between professional and personal duties. To demonstrate this, a
new 'split-screen' mode allows for multiple apps to be visible and used at exactly the
same time.
What's more, to ensure users aren't left high and dry, the Mate 8's battery gives
users two days' usage, with turbocharging technology charging the Mate 8 to a day's charge
in just 30 minutes. The result is a phone that works harder, quicker and much more
seamlessly than anything else on the market.
Notes to EditorsÂ
- Running on Huawei's EMUI 4.0 Operating System, based on Android Marshmallow 6.0,
the Huawei Mate 8 offers hundreds of user experience tweaks and improvements
- Features a productivity-enhancing split-screen mode that enables enhanced multitasking
between apps
- The circular fingerprint sensor has a depth of 0.45 mm, improving the effective
identification area by 10 per cent
- The fingerprint recognition algorithms include three levels of biometric information,
increasing the unlock speed by up to 100 per cent and cutting recognition failures in
half
- The Mate 8 adopts the revolutionary, all-new Sony 16MP IMX298, increasing the sensor
size up by 23 per cent for breathtaking images
- A 6-inch IPS-NEO display means the Mate 8 has an 83 per cent screen-to-body ratio
- The Mate 8 is the first smartphone to run on Huawei's new Kirin 950 chipset and use
TSMC 16nm FinFET plus chip technology
- A 4000mAh battery gives the phone two days of charge time
Efficient ConferencingÂ
The Huawei Mate 8 features "Super Hands-Free 3.0" technology, which enables hands-free
operation of the phone in a variety of locations. Whether you're in the car, a conference
room or at a crowded party, users can enjoy clear conversations from up to 3 meters away.
With a 120 degree range of audio pick up and directional noise reduction, conference calls
are crisper and clearer than ever before, no matter where they take place.
Globally ConnectedÂ
The Mate 8 supports global connectivity and more bands than any other dual-SIM phone,
including 5 2G bands, 10 3G bands and 18 4G bands in 217 countries and regions with 1334
sets of operation parameters. This makes it the perfect device for the global business
traveler.

LAS VEGAS, January 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Beautifully crafted flagship device offers features to complement the pace of life in
2016Â Â
Today the Huawei Consumer Business Group [http://consumer.huawei.com/en/mobile-phones ]
(BG) unveiled the Huawei Mate 8 smartphone, a flagship device that offers the performance

perfect phone for the busy, time-pressed professional of today.

The Mate 8 has a wide range of new features that help the device stand out from the
competition. A new generation of fingerprint technology allows the phone to be both smart
and secure; for example, the fingerprint-recognition system will make online mobile
purchases easier and faster than ever before.
Users can also expect a revolution in mobile photography, thanks to three years of
research and development. Huawei has developed the first 'proprietary image sensor
processor' which will give users faster focusing, higher clarity and more accurate colours
to their photography.
An 8 megapixel front camera has also been included on the device, enabling the perfect
selfie. The camera has been further enhanced by a new beauty algorithm to enhance skin
tones in photographs.
In so many ways, the device is also more intuitive than ever before, not least with
the business card-scanning capability. This allows for contacts to be added simply by
capturing a business card with the phone's camera.
"When we envisioned the Huawei Mate 8, we knew we needed to deliver a device that
offers global business professionals speed, convenience and connectivity in a beautifully
designed package that stands out in a competitive landscape," said Kevin Ho, President of
Huawei Handset BU - Huawei Consumer Business Group. "We're proud to deliver a smartphone
that offers the performance and features needed to allow users to stay connected, stay
productive and achieve more in every facet of their lives."
The Huawei Mate 8's enhanced processors allow all of the above and more to happen at
the same time, without any drop in performance. This is perfect for today's user, who
relentlessly multi-tasks between professional and personal duties. To demonstrate this, a
new 'split-screen' mode allows for multiple apps to be visible and used at exactly the
same time.
What's more, to ensure users aren't left high and dry, the Mate 8's battery gives
users two days' usage, with turbocharging technology charging the Mate 8 to a day's charge
in just 30 minutes. The result is a phone that works harder, quicker and much more
seamlessly than anything else on the market.
Notes to EditorsÂ
- Running on Huawei's EMUI 4.0 Operating System, based on Android Marshmallow 6.0,
the Huawei Mate 8 offers hundreds of user experience tweaks and improvements
- Features a productivity-enhancing split-screen mode that enables enhanced multitasking
between apps
- The circular fingerprint sensor has a depth of 0.45 mm, improving the effective
identification area by 10 per cent
- The fingerprint recognition algorithms include three levels of biometric information,
increasing the unlock speed by up to 100 per cent and cutting recognition failures in
half
- The Mate 8 adopts the revolutionary, all-new Sony 16MP IMX298, increasing the sensor
size up by 23 per cent for breathtaking images
- A 6-inch IPS-NEO display means the Mate 8 has an 83 per cent screen-to-body ratio
- The Mate 8 is the first smartphone to run on Huawei's new Kirin 950 chipset and use
TSMC 16nm FinFET plus chip technology
- A 4000mAh battery gives the phone two days of charge time
Efficient ConferencingÂ
The Huawei Mate 8 features "Super Hands-Free 3.0" technology, which enables hands-free
operation of the phone in a variety of locations. Whether you're in the car, a conference
room or at a crowded party, users can enjoy clear conversations from up to 3 meters away.
With a 120 degree range of audio pick up and directional noise reduction, conference calls
are crisper and clearer than ever before, no matter where they take place.
Globally ConnectedÂ
The Mate 8 supports global connectivity and more bands than any other dual-SIM phone,
including 5 2G bands, 10 3G bands and 18 4G bands in 217 countries and regions with 1334
sets of operation parameters. This makes it the perfect device for the global business
traveler.

Ultimaker Launches Two New 3D Printers At CES Las Vegas 2016
Ultimaker Reveals New Ultimaker 2+ and Ultimaker 2 Extended+ and Shares Market Vision for Upcoming Year
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ultimaker, a leading 3D printer manufacturer, launches two new 3D printers at CES Las Vegas 2016. Ultimaker will reveal the new Ultimaker 2+ and Ultimaker 2 Extended+ based on the popular Ultimaker 2 family of 3D printers. Ultimaker will also share its vision and projection of the 3D printing market in 2016.
"We are excited to release two new 3D printers at CES this year," says Jos Burger, CEO of Ultimaker. "The Ultimaker 2+ and Ultimaker 2 Extended+ are results of countless collaborations and insightful feedback we have received from the Ultimaker community. Both printers feature crucial upgrades based on what our customers are looking for in a 3D printer."
Introduction of the New Ultimaker 2+ Machines
As a part of the Ultimaker vision and its modular machine strategy, Ultimaker announces two new 3D printers, the Ultimaker 2+ and Ultimaker 2 Extended+. Both machines are the successors of the current Ultimaker 2 and Ultimaker 2 Extended and are available for purchase immediately. Due to Ultimakers open source strategy, they collaborated with the community for the following upgraded features on both machines:
-- Interchangeable Nozzles: Freedom to change nozzles in a matter of
seconds makes working with different materials easier, eases maintenance
and gives the possibility to choose between highly detailed prints or
high speed prints.
-- Optimized Print Results: With the inclusion of a more powerful geared
feeder, printing materials are less likely to skip.
-- Enhanced Surface Quality: Improved surface quality with astonishing
results due to improved cooling.
Ultimaker's mission is to provide the ultimate tools to empower professionals, educators and makers to discover, learn and create more efficiently by offering and supporting a full infrastructure of 3D printers, software and materials strengthened by integration with key industry partners such as Solidworks, Spark, the 3MF Consortium and leading global manufacturers of materials. As part of this infrastructure, Ultimaker introduces its newest 3D Printers. More innovations will be released in 2016.
Ultimaker's annual revenue doubled in 2015 which is a result of professional users and an increase in the education sector. 35% of Ultimaker's sales now come from clients in North America/The United States. During 2015, Ultimaker printers have been adopted by several leading North American Universities. In addition, we are working with the Illinois Makerlab at the University of Illinois to develop a new massive open online course (MOOC) on 3D Printing that is scheduled for release via Coursera in 2016. Ultimaker's goals and vision position it to be the top Desktop 3D printing company in North America in 2016.
"We have seen great success this year with professionals and educators who can optimize the modular components of our infrastructure for their own specific needs," says Jos Burger, CEO of Ultimaker. "Ultimaker has seen an expansion of sales within industries such as Aerospace, Automotive, Healthcare, Energy and Education especially within engineering, design and manufacturing in the past year. We look forward to see how Ultimaker's global community will continue to grow and help it create the products of the future."
About Ultimaker
From the very beginning Ultimaker's vision has been to make 3D printing accessible to all. It is why all their desktop printers are extremely quiet, fast, accurate, reliable and effortless to use. Such a commitment has seen them embraced both by professionals and novices alike. This has also helped them to become one of the most successful and reliable open source 3D printing companies in the world. Most recently, the company was awarded best large format 2016 and best in shootout 2015 in the established Make Magazine, the editors' choice by Digital Trends and best Consumer Product at the 3D Printshow Global Awards 2014.

Huawei Unveils New Phones, Wearables And Tablets At CES 2016
US product line-up offers premium design, high-end materials and cutting-edge technology
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Making good on its commitment to bring products from Huawei's global portfolio to the United States, Huawei Device USA today announced four products bound for U.S. consumers in the coming months. At an International CES 2016 press conference earlier today, Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology solutions provider, unveiled new versions of the Huawei Watch, a new color option for the popular Nexus 6P, the MediaPad M2 10.0 tablet and the Huawei GX8 smartphone.
"At Huawei, we are committed to expertly blending the latest technology in stylish, premium-looking devices that exhibit our innovation and design expertise," said Yanyan Ji, vice president, head of marketing for Huawei Device USA. "As we expand our portfolio in the United States, consumers can expect the quality and style of flagship products to appear in devices throughout our portfolio."
Huawei Watch - Elegant & Jewel
Two new Huawei Watch models featuring a sleek, fashionable design were introduced, expanding the number of Huawei Watch models in the United States to eight. Named Elegant and Jewel, the two new styles deliver the same timeless, uncompromising style and functionality that generated accolades for the original models launched this past fall. But the new Elegant and Jewel Huawei Watches differ by delivering a beautiful blend of statement style and modern edge.
Like the existing Huawei Watch models, the new watches are inspired by classic, high-end wristwatch design and crafted with premium materials. Both feature the latest version of Android Wear(TM); iOS and Android compatibility; scratch-resistant, two-layer Sapphire crystal; and 316L cold-forged stainless steel bodies. And while they maintain the much-admired round face and body, Elegant features a distinctive top ring design on a rose-gold plated body, and Jewel features 68 Swarovski Zirconia encircling the face. To further match their distinctive look, Elegant and Jewel will both come with a selection of exclusive watch faces.
Huawei Watch Elegant and Jewel will be available in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2016.
Gold-colored Nexus 6P
Huawei also announced the availability of the exquisite gold-colored Nexus 6P, a luxurious new color variation of the innovative smartphone launched earlier this year. The new color option gives consumers a fashionable choice in addition to the already released aluminum (silver), graphite (black), and frost (white) options.
Gold-colored versions of Nexus 6P will be available in 32GB and 64GB models and will be available at BestBuy.com, select Best Buy stores and the Google Store, beginning Jan. 5.
Huawei MediaPad M2 10.0
Huawei's newest tablet, MediaPad M2 10.0, offers a fantastic audio and visual experience. Built to impress, the MediaPad M2 10.0 delights with an aluminum alloy, full-metal body, precision-crafted curved edges and a rich, sandblasted finish.
Its slim, 7.35mm body features an embedded camera and four speakers, positioned to deliver premium sound quality. The high-power speakers also feature an Intelligent Power Amplifier, Clari-fi Audio Restoration and SWS 2.0 Surround Sound, tuned by leading audio brand Harman/Kardon for stunning, rich sound. Coupled with a 10.1-inch, full HD IPS display, and a high-performance CPU and graphics processor, MediaPad M2 10.0 delivers amazing entertainment experiences in any light.
The 16GB ROM/2GB RAM model of Huawei MediaPad M2 10.0 will be available in silver color. The 64GB ROM/3GB RAM model will be available in gold color and will be bundled with an active stylus. Both will be available in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2016.
Huawei GX8
The stylish Huawei GX8 stands out from the crowd with a beautiful, aluminum uni-body design. Featuring a scratch-resistant 5.5-inch, Corning Gorilla Glass 3 screen and innovative fingerprint security, GX8 brings beauty, balance and function to your life.
Its industry-leading fingerprint sensor delivers a 94 percent unlock success rate, so you can access the GX8 quickly and confidently. Superb connectivity and a powerful, 3000 mAH battery make the GX8 a true powerhouse.
Available for just $349.99 USD in gold, gray and silver, Huawei GX8 will be available at BestBuy.com, select Best Buy stores, GetHuawei.com and Amazon.com in the first quarter of 2016.

OnYou iPhone 6/6s Case with Polymagnet Smart Magnets is Light, Secure and Makes Accessing Apps on the Run a Snap
Using Polymagnet Smart Magnet Technology, OnYou Solves the Ease of Use of Most Phone Cases
CAMPBELL, Calif. and LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CES 2016 -- Correlated Magnetics® (CMR), the inventor of Polymagnet® customizable Smart Magnets(TM), and OnYou®, designers of magnetic mobile device accessories, have announced the successful development and delivery into production with their first joint collaboration.
The OnYou for iPhone® 6 and 6s accessory includes an arm band and case for runners that leverages state-of-the-art Smart Magnet technology to create instant snap on, twist off accessibility to the apps and features of the device like never before. No more fumbling with cases, clips or heavy accessories while trying to keep pace during a run.
"OnYou enables athletes to actually use their phones while they're working out without breaking stride, in a way the countless armbands on the market fail to do," said Scott Bauer, co-founder of OnYou. "Our patented design is thin and light yet keeps your phone secure during the most intense workouts."
The biggest challenge in creating a magnetic case and armband was delivering strength and security in a light, comfortable design that athletes would enjoy wearing. Traditional magnets were either too big or too weak to provide both a secure fasten and an easy twist off. With Polymagnet Smart Magnet technology, the magnet is custom designed to allow the device to be easily removed with a twist, stored with a quick snap, all while remaining secure, light and comfortable while running.
"With Polymagnet technology, OnYou was able to provide the targeted strength, force and feel, required to make a magnetic solution work flawlessly," said Andy Keane, CEO of CMR. "The customized Polymagnet Smart Magnet in the OnYou creates a secure connection you can feel and the ease of snap off/twist off accessibility. This is simply not possible with conventional magnets."
The OnYou for iPhone 6/6s includes a magnetic phone case and backing made from durable polycarbonate, and comes with its own custom, reflective, mesh armband. The complete system uses electronics-safe magnetic and is available for order now at OnYouStore.com for $49.95.

LG To Introduce All New 4K HDR-Enabled OLED TV Lineup At CES 2016

Posted on January 5, 2016 at 12:56:01 PM
LG To Introduce All New 4K HDR-Enabled OLED TV Lineup At CES 2016
Picture-on-Glass Design, Leading HDR Functions, Perfect Blacks with Amazing Colors Separate LG OLED TVs from Competition
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics (LG) is unveiling its 2016 line of 4K HDR-enabled OLED TVs at CES® 2016 led by its flagship 77- and 65-inch class G6 and 65- and 55-inch class E6 models. The entire lineup consists of eight new models in flat and curved configurations and various sizes, all combining the superior performance of OLED's revolutionary display technology with 4K Ultra HD resolution and high dynamic range (HDR) capability.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160104/319199
LG's 2016 OLED TVs feature HDR Pro, assuring a superior HDR viewing experience, with increased contrast ratio and color range. LG's entire OLED line is expected to be among the industry's first to be certified as "Ultra HD Premium," meeting the stringent premium performance requirements just released by the UHD Alliance. The Ultra HD Premium certification applies only to products that meet the most demanding performance standards for resolution, peak luminance, black levels, wide color gamut and audio quality, among other criteria. LG 2016 OLED TV lineup supports the industry-standard HDR formats established by the world's leading broadcasters, film studios and consumer electronics manufacturers, such as HDR10 and DolbyVision(TM) HDR technology, making them among the first to be compatible with all formats.
The G6 and E6 series are the first TVs to display the stunning picture quality of OLED on an elegant, stunningly slim glass panel. This unique Picture-On-Glass design is only possible with OLED technology and is ultra-thin, measuring just 2.57 millimeters (one-tenth of an inch), with a translucent glass back and powerful, forward-facing sound bar speaker system. By focusing on TV technologies directly related to picture and sound quality, both the G6 and E6 series represent a new level of home entertainment innovation. The stylish body of these flat-panel LG 4K OLED TVs with miniscule bezels and powerful sound capabilities add a touch of sophistication to any home environment, and provide a superior cinematic viewing experience.
"Our 2016 OLED TV lineup features a long list of innovations, such as Picture-on-Glass design and HDR Pro, which are featured prominently in the G6 and E6 models," said Brian Kwon, President and CEO at LG's Home Entertainment Company. "By upping our OLED TV game every year, we are driving innovation in the TV space so that more consumers will see and hear about the benefits of owning an OLED TV. We think 2016 will be a game changing year for this category."
LG OLED 4K TVs assure a superior HDR viewing experience, thanks to its unique ability to achieve perfect black to reveal even greater picture detail, reproducing images more like real life. The 2016 lineup's HDR capabilities are also enriched by OLED's Pixel Dimming technology. Unlike LCD displays where the LED backlight can only locally dim sections of the screen, each pixel on an OLED panel can switch on and off independently. As a result, OLED TVs render crisp, vibrant colors and rich shadow details, even when bright objects are directly next to deep, dark areas unlike the LCD TVs which have a halo effect from light bleeding. This ability ensures that images are displayed more like we see them in real life, making OLED TVs the ideal medium for HDR content.
With 10-bit panel and 10-bit processing power, LG's OLED TVs can render more than a billion possible color variations. This, along with LG's Color Prime® Pro technology for a wider color gamut, gives these TVs the ability to display the finest details of color and gradation.
Top-of-the-line LG OLED TVs come equipped with a unique sound bar speaker system. Developed in partnership with high-end audio pioneer harman/kardon®, the LG G6 and E6 feature front-firing sound bar speakers. With the speakers pointing forward, not downward like many thin TVs, viewers will hear clean, detailed audio without any distortion or reflection. The sound bar system is equipped with extra woofers to bolster the power of the speakers, setting LG OLED TVs apart from other TVs.
The entire 2016 OLED TV lineup features the newest generation of LG's acclaimed webOS Smart TV platform. With webOS 3.0 advanced new features make finding and switching between LG's expanded content options - including broadcast TV, streaming services and external devices - simple and fast.* With enhanced mobile connectivity, remote features and more content options - including those offering streaming HDR, LG webOS 3.0 makes it even simpler and more fun than ever for users to find and enjoy the content they want to watch.
For 2016, LG is expanding the OLED TV category that it established last year with four new 4K series and eight OLED TVs overall. The G6 and EG series join the curved panel C6 and flat-panel B6 series to be available in 65- and 55-inch class sizes with plans for U.S. rollout beginning in the first quarter. LG's Full HD 1080p OLED TV will continue in 2016.
The new OLED models will be on display in LG's booth (LVCC Central Hall, #8204) at CES 2016 from Jan. 6-9 in Las Vegas. For more information, visit http://ces2016.lgnewsroom.com.

Priced under $1,000, the VUZE camera and software studio is both a technological breakthrough as well as a quantum leap forward for the industry that is currently only served by large, complicated devices requiring Hollywood blockbuster type budgets.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160105/319243
From image and video capture, footage editing or engaging playback, VUZE has revolutionized and simplified every aspect of capturing, sharing and enjoying 3D immersive pictures and videos to make it a truly universal consumer experience. It is the only company to provide a full "everything-you-need" VR Kit to consumers.
The VUZE Camera combines advanced 3D and 2D capture technology using 8 Full HD cameras within an easy-to-use 'point and shoot' form-factor. The VUZE Studio brings groundbreaking advances in 360 3D content creation with near real-time processing (1 minute per minute) and seamless stitching thanks to a proprietary technique called Adaptive Blending that mimics the way the human eye interacts with the brain to form pictures in the mind. Finally, the VUZE agnostic approach means content can be enjoyed on its own lightweight VR Headset or on ANY VR player, VR headset, cardboard or 3D device or TV.
Examples of the amazing content created by VUZE can be seen at http://vuze.camera/showroom/
VUZE CAMERA - Making 3D VR content easy as point and click
For the first time, ordinary consumers as well as professional photographers and movie makers are on an equal footing to create VR pictures or videos using the hand-held point-and-shoot VUZE camera. Featuring a stylish design the highly portable lightweight camera will be available in a variety of vibrant colors and comes with its own purposely engineered a versatile 'selfie stick" and tripod. Its battery and removable SD card can capture up to one hour of video allowing people to capture and relive every part of the world around them in breathtaking detail.
VUZE has been built on its own innovative technology architecture and is controlled by a dedicated iOS and Android app. Inside the device are 8 Full HD cameras that simultaneously capture images, videos and sound to facilitate full stereophonic and 360(0) 3D spherical content. Each camera uses ultra-wide and vertical angle lenses to capture 120(0) horizontal and 180(0) vertical images and together generate 4K VR content. Within the app, users can see any of the 8 camera views as well as preview and delete content. VUZE can capture both 2D and 3D 360(0) spherical images and videos and can effortlessly switch between the two. Finally, its powerful internal processing and compression capabilities render easy-to-edit H.264 HD video files that transfer to users' home computers and laptops.
VUZE STUDIO Makers Every Movie Makers
Leveraging 15 years of proven software expertise, the VUZE Studio is one of the most sophisticated processing, editing and sharing suites available. Whether an expert or complete editing novice, it makes it easy to quickly create and share High Res Virtual Reality videos. Available on both PC and MAC, it boasts near real-time processing (1 minute per minute) and seamless stitching thanks to a proprietary technique called Adaptive Blending.
Conventional stitching techniques merge images together at regular linear points which can result in images appearing slightly disjointed when they intersect detailed or complicated objects. Adaptive Blending solves this by identifying objects the human eye is drawn to such as straightedges, light contrasts and faces, then blends around them to create a seamless stitched image. Just as the brain fills in information delivered by the eyes, VUZE Studio combines captured images with intelligence to form a perfect picture. In addition to Adaptive Blending, the VUZE Studio features:
-- Camera calibration
-- Vignette, fisheye and perspective correction
-- White balance and exposure correction that supports separate
manipulation of left & right panorama spheres to ensure consistent
correction between left & right panoramas
-- 3D 360 video stabilization without cropping
-- Stereo alignment for consistent parallax
-- Near real-time processing - 1 minute per 1 minute of footage
-- A variety of editing capabilities including: Insertion of objects,
images and text (including 3D) and with stereo effect, embedding logos
in the nadir (bottom) and changing the field of view of 360 x 180
degrees scene, adding 3D text and objects
Once created, VUZE VR movie files can be exported to play on an ANY VR player VR glasses, cardboard or 3D enabled device or TV as well as its own VR head-mounted glasses.
"We are delighted to be unveiling VUZE and excited to expand the appeal of immersive content to everyday consumers," said Shahar Bin-Nun, CEO HumanEyes Technologies. "VUZE has the potential to revolutionize the way people take, share and experience pictures and video. We believe VUZE is creating a pivotal moment in the consumer adoption of 3D VR technologies and we look forward to forging this evolving ecosystem and industry over the coming years."
VUZE was created by HumanEyes Technologies, a pioneer in photographic 3D, animated content creation, printing, display and processing in lenticular graphic arts. Founded in 2000 by Prof. Shmuel Peleg of the Hebrew University, a world renowned expert in computer vision and image processing, the leadership team behind VUZE includes other notable industry visionaries including Benny Landa. Known as the father of digital printing Landa was the former co-founder and CEO Indigo Digital Printing acquired by HP in 2002.
VUZE will be available in August 2016 priced under $1000. It will be bundled with its own purposely engineered versatile ''selfie stick" and tripod, VR head-mounted goggles and access to the VUZE Studio software suite.

Posted on January 5, 2016 at 12:49:01 PM
BRG Sports and 360fly Unveil Action Sports Helmet Industry's First Line of 360-Degree Video Integrated "Smart" Helmets
Motorcycle, Mountain Bike and Snow Helmets to Feature 360-degree 4K Video, Mobile Editing and Sharing, and Intuitive Digital Capabilities
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Action-sports helmet-industry leaders, BRG (Bell, Ridell, Giro) Sports, and 360-degree camera innovators, 360fly, announced a full line of "smart" helmets, integrated with 360fly's proprietary 360-degree 4K video, at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160104/319158
The innovative product line encompasses several of BRG Sports' core sport categories and brands, comprising the following products:
-- Bell Star with 360fly - Driven by the essential needs of the modern
racer, and completely new for 2016, the Bell Star is the most advanced
full-face street motorcycle helmet on the market today
-- Bell Moto 9 Flex with 360fly - Bell's most comprehensive off road
motorcycle helmet, featuring its proprietary "progressive layering"
energy-management system
-- Bell Super 2R with 360fly - Bell's most versatile and award-winning
all-mountain helmet, with an innovative detachable chin bar feature for
maximum performance and adaptability
-- Giro Edit with 360fly - Giro's lightest full-featured snow helmet
"The benefits of integrating digital video and intuitive digital technology into action sports helmets is a ground-breaking advancement for our sports," said Terry Lee, Executive Chairman & CEO, BRG Sports. "This "smart helmet" collaboration with 360fly is yet another landmark milestone within our 60-year history of helmet innovation and industry leadership."
"From day one, our focus has extended beyond the baseline benefits of immersive 360-degree VR content, and into the expansive universe of intuitive "smart" technologies that our single-lens technology enables," said Peter Adderton, 360fly CEO. "These helmets are merely the first of many unique applications for these technologies enabled by our proprietary 360fly 4K platform."
All four helmets feature an integrated 360fly 360-degree 4K camera, capable of also shooting conventional 16x9 video. The video capabilities are driven by 360fly's proprietary mobile app, featuring a simple user interface that allows users to instantly edit and share content to popular platforms such as Facebook or YouTube. Shooting at 2880 x 2880 at up to 30 FPS, the integrated camera also includes a built-in GPS sensor to tag locations, a barometer/altimeter and accelerometer all powered by an advanced Qualcomm® Snapdragon 800 processor. Like the original 360fly camera, the integrated camera comes standard with Bluetooth, built-in Wi-Fi and has up to two hours of battery life.
For significantly added value, the integrated 360fly camera is detachable, allowing it to be utilized independent of the helmet by the user in the widest variety of lifestyle applications.
In addition to the existing mobile app functionality featured in the integrated helmets, 360fly's CES exhibit showcased live demonstrations of several new technologies that are a result of the company's new 360fly 4K platform and are currently planned for inclusion across the advanced BRG Sports helmet line including:
-- AutoPilot action tracking - Allows users to track and follow the main
subjects in their videos, making it easy to create dynamic edits with
the rider at the center of it all.
-- Collision Avoidance Alert - Senses and automatically notifies the rider
of potential oncoming dangers that are outside the rider's natural field
of vision
-- Live Streaming - For professional, commercial or advanced users looking
to live stream 360-degree video, the integrated camera pairs with its
Micro-HDMI accessory base (sold separately) and is able to output a
real-time full 360-degree HD video stream
These features will undergo a rigorous series of trials and tests over the coming months in preparation for the helmets' debut at retail later in the year.
Another new feature planned for the camera-integrated helmet line is "Highlight Reel" - an auto-editing function that compiles a 1-2-minute highlight reel based on the specific sections of video that feature the most action
The majority of VR devices on the market today are purely focused on consumption of VR content and not creation. From day one, 360fly's mission has been to put the power to create immersive personal VR content into the hands of consumers. There simply is no other comparable option for creating and consuming 360-degree immersive video and personal VR content on the market today.

-- Bell Star with 360fly - Driven by the essential needs of the modern
racer, and completely new for 2016, the Bell Star is the most advanced
full-face street motorcycle helmet on the market today
-- Bell Moto 9 Flex with 360fly - Bell's most comprehensive off road
motorcycle helmet, featuring its proprietary "progressive layering"
energy-management system
-- Bell Super 2R with 360fly - Bell's most versatile and award-winning
all-mountain helmet, with an innovative detachable chin bar feature for
maximum performance and adaptability
-- Giro Edit with 360fly - Giro's lightest full-featured snow helmet
"The benefits of integrating digital video and intuitive digital technology into action sports helmets is a ground-breaking advancement for our sports," said Terry Lee, Executive Chairman & CEO, BRG Sports. "This "smart helmet" collaboration with 360fly is yet another landmark milestone within our 60-year history of helmet innovation and industry leadership."
"From day one, our focus has extended beyond the baseline benefits of immersive 360-degree VR content, and into the expansive universe of intuitive "smart" technologies that our single-lens technology enables," said Peter Adderton, 360fly CEO. "These helmets are merely the first of many unique applications for these technologies enabled by our proprietary 360fly 4K platform."
All four helmets feature an integrated 360fly 360-degree 4K camera, capable of also shooting conventional 16x9 video. The video capabilities are driven by 360fly's proprietary mobile app, featuring a simple user interface that allows users to instantly edit and share content to popular platforms such as Facebook or YouTube. Shooting at 2880 x 2880 at up to 30 FPS, the integrated camera also includes a built-in GPS sensor to tag locations, a barometer/altimeter and accelerometer all powered by an advanced Qualcomm® Snapdragon 800 processor. Like the original 360fly camera, the integrated camera comes standard with Bluetooth, built-in Wi-Fi and has up to two hours of battery life.
For significantly added value, the integrated 360fly camera is detachable, allowing it to be utilized independent of the helmet by the user in the widest variety of lifestyle applications.
In addition to the existing mobile app functionality featured in the integrated helmets, 360fly's CES exhibit showcased live demonstrations of several new technologies that are a result of the company's new 360fly 4K platform and are currently planned for inclusion across the advanced BRG Sports helmet line including:
-- AutoPilot action tracking - Allows users to track and follow the main
subjects in their videos, making it easy to create dynamic edits with
the rider at the center of it all.
-- Collision Avoidance Alert - Senses and automatically notifies the rider
of potential oncoming dangers that are outside the rider's natural field
of vision
-- Live Streaming - For professional, commercial or advanced users looking
to live stream 360-degree video, the integrated camera pairs with its
Micro-HDMI accessory base (sold separately) and is able to output a
real-time full 360-degree HD video stream
These features will undergo a rigorous series of trials and tests over the coming months in preparation for the helmets' debut at retail later in the year.
Another new feature planned for the camera-integrated helmet line is "Highlight Reel" - an auto-editing function that compiles a 1-2-minute highlight reel based on the specific sections of video that feature the most action
The majority of VR devices on the market today are purely focused on consumption of VR content and not creation. From day one, 360fly's mission has been to put the power to create immersive personal VR content into the hands of consumers. There simply is no other comparable option for creating and consuming 360-degree immersive video and personal VR content on the market today.

360fly Unveils "360fly 4K" Video Camera at 2016 Consumer Electronics Show
Immersive Video and Personal VR Trailblazers Raise the Bar Again With Upgraded 4K Video Quality and Live Streaming Capabilities
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- 360fly, Inc., maker of the world's only, single-lens camera that captures stitchless 360-degree video with interactive and virtual reality viewing capabilities, today unveiled the next generation of its popular 360fly camera. The 360fly 4K is a water resistant single-lens, 360-degree video camera with live streaming capabilities and intuitive filming and editing advancements. It will be on display at the 2016 Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas in booth 10417 Central Hall.

360fly 4K adds a powerful new image sensor that quadruples the resolution of the first generation 360fly camera producing 2880x2880, 360-degree 4K quality. Additionally, 360fly 4K will offer the following upgraded and advanced features:
-- Front-Facing Mode: Not all situations require a 360-degree field of
view. During those times, 360fly 4K will allow users to record in a 16:9
aspect ratio at 2560x1440 resolution with a field of view of 178x100
degrees (204 diagonal).
-- Time-Lapse Video Mode: Tell a story in a dramatic fashion by capturing a
360-degree time-lapse video. Users can select 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 or
60-second shutter intervals.
-- Motion and Audio Detection Mode: 360fly 4K will automatically begin to
record based off any movement or sounds. This feature is great in
surveillance or monitoring situations.
-- Accelerometer Activated Record Mode: Not all environments are smartphone
friendly, and in those situations 360fly 4K users can activate record
mode with a shake of the camera. For instance, a skier without their
smartphone may have difficulties pushing the OnePush button with their
snow gloves on, so a simple shake of the camera will begin recording.
-- Telemetry: 360fly 4K features a built-in GPS sensor to tag locations, a
barometer/altimeter and accelerometer all powered by an advanced
Qualcomm® Snapdragon 800 processor. Users can now track altitude, speed
and edit this data as an overlay into their 360-degree video content.
-- OnePush Button Color-Coding: For clearer visibility and mode
recognition, 360fly 4K features an enhanced design with additional
color-coded lighting around the OnePush button and bottom of the
mounting dock.
"Based off feedback from current 360fly users and 360fly brand ambassadors, the 360fly 4K camera represents the next evolution of features, like 4K video and live streaming," said Peter Adderton, 360fly CEO. "With the addition of the 360fly 4K camera to the product range we expect to reach new markets and users. The evolution continues as we set our sights on new products and innovations, designed to democratize virtual reality content for the masses."

New Forest Communications Announces That It Has Just Crossed the 100,000 Connected Devices Milestone
LONDON, January 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Whilst this is a drop in the ocean in the Internet of Things (IoT), for every SIM
connection, the company thinks there are a further 25 Orion connections to be gained.
Since the Orion network does not use SIM cards, the cost of providing real time asset
tracking [http://www.tracks360.com ] and asset monitoring [http://www.tracks360.com ] is
substantially reduced.
"The forecasts come from talking to our existing clients and understanding what assets
they would ideally monitor and track, if price was not a constraint," said head of
marketing, Jonathan Olliff-Cooper. "This puts the total UK market opportunity at around
two million devices, and that's just with the companies using our systems today. Orion is
going to be a game changer."
"SIM based systems and Orion based systems are not exclusive. Clients will mix and
match for different verticals, but in general, Orion's small size and near real time
capability suits many applications very well," continued Jonathan.
Analysis of the market has shown that the typical cost of ownership over three years
for a SIM based asset tracking device [http://www.tracks360.com ] is between GBP400 and
GBP600 in the UK. This may include monitoring and recovery services. However, an Orion
based solution is coming in around 80% less, at typically under GBP100 or even GBP80 per
unit. This has led to many companies trialling the Orion solution. What is unique is that
NFC provides the hardware, infrastructure and software, making it an attractive choice for
corporations looking for a complete turkey solution. Critically, the Orion Data Network
[http://www.oriondatanetwork.com ] can be deployed very quickly in almost any environment.
This makes it possible to conceive and trial a solution in a matter of days.
About New Forest Communications LimitedÂ
NFC builds and supplies wireless battery powered telecommunications hardware for the
global logistics and security markets spanning a wide area of sectors and verticals.
Around 60,000 devices where produced last year alone. The Orion data network is licence
free. Orion is used for the real time tracking of assets and asset monitoring anywhere in
the world. Â

Ph z Music is on a mission to transform the way listeners consume audio from today's mobile devices, which are the undisputed leading source of music consumption. While most new mobile devices feature the latest generation of Bluetooth 4.0 many current Bluetooth headphones do not. The Ph z Model P3s stand apart from the pack, utilizing Bluetooth 4.0 with CSR aptX technology, ensuring consumers paired with CSR aptX-enabled mobile devices experience the highest-quality wireless audio available.
"A consumer's listening experience shouldn't have to deteriorate when it comes to porting music over Bluetooth," said David Munzlinger, president of Ph z Music. "With the Model P3s, we're elevating the headphone wireless listening experience via CSR aptX and premium discrete amplification to deliver an unmatched audio performance. With Ph z, consumers no longer have to be tethered in order to get the sound quality benefits of wired sound."
Acoustically tuned by the sound professionals at JJR Acoustics, the Model P3s enhance audio from mobile devices - which inherently possess low-quality audio components - through an on-board audiophile-grade HD amplifier, which powers premium 40mm drivers with neodymium magnets. Delivering smooth, consistent sound quality, the P3 headphones also feature integrated Active Bass Boost technology, giving listeners the ability to customize their experience by switching on extended bass performance. The Model P3s are also the only Bluetooth headphones on the market that can also charge a consumer's mobile device while they are listing to music. This integrated feature allows listeners to boost their mobile devices' battery by up to 70% when connected. An internal Lithium Polymer Battery and a power management microprocessor in the Model P3s deliver 10 hours of active listening.
A carbon fiber design ensures the P3 headphones are light and durable with incorporated metal adjustable hinges for easy folding and compact storage. Cushioned memory foam ear pads add comfort and personality with five interchangeable color options (sold separately) including orange, green, pink and purple. The Model P3 Bluetooth Headphones also feature an exclusive active 3.5mm audio output, allowing listeners to easily share their elevated music experience with a friend.
The Model P3 Bluetooth Headphones have an MSRP of $299.99 and will be available in April 2016. Product details will be available via PhazMusic.com.

Sakar Adds Kids' Smartwatch Camera/Fitness Trackers to Licensed Options
Releases 1st 2 SKUs under Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Hello Kitty Brands; Others Slated for Q3
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CES Booth #13228 - On the heels of introducing new products like selfie sticks and camera drones that feed consumers' appetite for fresh technology trends, Sakar International has again expanded its product development capabilities with the addition of branded kids' smartwatch cameras to its licensing portfolio. Each device includes a still camera, both video and audio recording, a fitness/activity tracker, and the ability to upload fitness data to a companion parent app via Bluetooth.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160105/319209
The company's first licensed smartwatch cameras, designed for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Hello Kitty brands, hit Toys 'R Us shelves in November. New versions for The Avengers, Batman, Littlest Pet Shop, Monster High, My Little Pony, Power Rangers, Spiderman, Transformers and others are scheduled for release in time for 2016 back-to-school shopping.
Retailing for $59.99, each touch screen-based smartwatch camera created by Sakar enables kids to:
-- Take and store up to 100 photos and videos with a tap
-- Record voice messages with the built-in voice recorder
-- Document steps, distance and calories burned during activities such as
walking, running and jumping rope
-- Capture information on sleep patterns that affect health and weight
-- Share photos with friends and family
-- Sync activity and sleep data to the free app downloaded to parents'
Bluetooth smartphone or tablet, allowing parents to track kids' progress
toward fitness goals
Each product also offers alarm, stop watch and timer functions; the ability to add fun photo effects, frames and fillers; a choice of more than 40 personalized icon combinations on the watch face; and a built-in rechargeable lithium ion battery delivering hours of charge time when plugged into a USB port with the charging cable included in the package. The watch and band are available in different colors and logos matching each licensing platform.
"The tech market is constantly changing, and kids are always looking for the newest gadgets. One of our strengths is the ability to quickly respond to these shifting market trends in order to capitalize on consumer interest in emerging product categories," said Liza Abrams, Sakar Senior Vice President of Global Licensing. "These new smartwatch cameras and the strong uptake from licensors exemplify our nimbleness in this area as well as the confidence that our partners have in our ability to continually adapt to new technologies and sales opportunities."
The new smartwatch cameras join a broad portfolio of licensed products that includes earbuds, headphones, Bluetooth speakers, digital and video cameras, walkie-talkies, text messengers, password journals, binoculars, flashlights, smartphone cases, CD karaoke machines, mic stands, musical instruments and more.
That range of offerings, creative product development and strong worldwide distribution relationships have built Sakar into the youth electronics licensee of choice for leading brands ranging from Disney's Frozen, Descendants and other Disney platforms to The Avengers, Batman vs. Superman, Bratz, Discovery, Hello Kitty, Monster High, NERF, Peanuts, Power Rangers, Sesame Street, Super Hero Girls, Shopkins, Spiderman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Thomas the Tank Engine and others.
Sakar will be exhibiting at Booth #13228 at the Las Vegas Convention Center Central Hall at the 2016 International CES conference running January 6-9 in Las Vegas.

The First DJ-Style Headphones with a Camera: New from Altec Lansing
Built-in DVR Capabilities Capture the Crowd from DJ's Viewpoint for Live Streaming & More
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CES Booth #12828 - Here's a new way for DJs to pump up the energy wherever they're playing master of music ceremonies: record the scene hands-free through the built-in DVR camera on Altec Lansing's new DVR DJ-Style Headphones, then stream the video in real time to the closest flat screen so the crowd can see itself from a DJ's-eye view for a true immersive experience.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160105/319215
Shipping in late Q2 with an MSRP of $199.99, the product will be the first to pair 40 mm large format drivers with an action cam in the same housing. The result will be a whole new toolset for DJs to build extra excitement at clubs and other venues as well as share the buzz on their websites, blogs and social media.
Simply press a button and the 1080P/30fps DVR camera embedded into one ear cup will start recording, capturing the action through a front-facing lens that sees exactly what the DJ sees. The results can not only be streamed via Wi-Fi integrated into the cans, but also stored on the product's 8GB internal memory and/or an external micro SDHC card up to 32GB for downloading after the show.
The headphones will come with instructions for downloading Magisto, a video editing app for iPhone, Android and Windows that automatically selects the best parts of any given raw camera footage, allows users to add music, themes and effects, and turns the results into a fully edited mini-movie in minutes. The app will enable DJs to quickly transform the video captured with the headphones into postable clips with no need for manual editing.
Other features will include:
-- A built-in rechargeable lithium ion battery with up to seven hours of
battery life
-- An integral microphone with wind cancellation and song
navigation/telephony buttons
-- TTS for voice activation and spoken caller ID by name, enabling the
headphones to double as a personal listening device via a paired
smartphone
-- Foldable construction for easy portability
-- Carrying case
Altec Lansing will be exhibiting at Booth #12828 at the Las Vegas Convention Center Central Hall at the 2016 International CES conference running January 6-9 in Las Vegas.

Aimed at smart phones, tablets and wearables, the new devices cover a wide range of
requirements, from low power consumption for always-on applications such as step counting,
to high performance optical image stabilization (OIS).
Intelligent three-axis accelerometers - BMA422 and BMA455Â
Today's applications running on modern mobile devices place many demands on motion
sensors. These sensors are required to continuously sense motion, such as for step
counting operations, while at the same time delivering a high level of performance without
compromising battery lifetime.
To meet these challenges, the new sensors from Bosch Sensortec are the first to
integrate embedded intelligence functionality into standalone accelerometers. Adding
intelligent features to an accelerometer enables innovative applications, while minimizing
power consumption by eliminating the need to wake up an application processor or an
additional discrete sensor hub. Overall system power management and user experience can be
improved by the accelerometer detecting and processing motions such as glance, pick-up and
tilt.
Current consumption of the new accelerometers is kept very low to extend battery life
time and the integrated Android 6.0 "Marshmallow" features minimize programming effort for
customers. Each device delivers outstanding accelerometer performance, most importantly,
low offset, low temperature coefficient offset (TCO) and low noise levels.
Two new accelerometers are being launched: the BMA422 "all-rounder" is ideally suited
for standard applications, the BMA455 provides high performance for areas such as gaming
and immersive activity-tracking. In addition the high level of performance enables the
most demanding applications covering augmented reality, virtual reality, image
stabilization and industrial measurement applications such as spirit leveling and
inclination measurement.
High performance gyroscopes - BMG250 and BMG280Â
Mobile devices require gyroscopes for many applications, including gaming, augmented
reality, virtual reality and OIS. To provide the necessary performance, Bosch Sensortec's
new gyroscopes combine the most important parameters in a single device: low noise, low
TCO and high bias stability.
Although delivering high performance, they do both feature the lowest power
consumption of any standalone gyroscope in the market, thus helping to extend battery
lifetime in mobile devices.
Today's announcement includes two three-axis gyroscopes: the BMG250 provides low noise,
low TCO and high bias stability, while the BMG280 delivers ultra-low noise optimized for
OIS and includes a secondary interface for OIS, making it fit for use in camera modules.
The BMG280's secondary interface can be used in parallel with the primary user application
interface, for example for simultaneous panorama creation and OIS.
Packages and availabilityÂ
The new devices are all provided in small packages. The BMA422 measures
2.0 x 2.0 x 0.95 mmcubed, while the BMA455 is 2.0 x 2.0 x 0.65 mmcubed. The BMG250 and
BMG280 gyroscopes both measure 3.0 x 2.5 x 0.83 mmcubed.
Samples of the all sensors are available now, with mass production of the gyroscopes
to commence in Q1 2016 and mass production of the accelerometers starting in mid-2016. For
pricing, please contact Bosch Sensortec.

HTC & Under Armour Unveil UA HealthBox
Pre-orders begin today for the first comprehensive connected fitness system
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CES -- Today, HTC and Under Armour unveiled UA HealthBox(TM), the world's first connected fitness system that measures, monitors, and manages the most important drivers of health and fitness - sleep, fitness, activity and nutrition. Designed and manufactured by HTC and powered by UA Record(TM), UA HealthBox includes a fitness band, heart rate monitor and a smart scale that all connect seamlessly with UA Record to provide insights that empower individuals to improve their health and fitness. The new UA Record is available for download from the Google Play(TM) store and App Store.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160104/319175
With an HTC smartphone, or other Android or iOS smartphone, UA Record serves as the dashboard for daily activities that dictate how you feel. Following the same philosophy HTC takes when designing smartphones, UA HealthBox removes the barriers and complexity of technology with a simple to set up and easy to use system.
"This system contains everything a consumer needs to better manage their health and fitness," said Wolfgang Muller, Executive Director - Connected Products, HTC. "Whether you are a high performance athlete or simply committed to improving your health, UA HealthBox is the only system that delivers the complete picture and provides the information and motivation needed to achieve your goals."
UA Band(TM) is designed to be worn all-day, every day. It tracks daily activity, workouts and sleep. All day activity capture allows you to set a daily goal and track progress on the band. UA Band utilizes a seamless exterior shell with a display that is discreetly hidden under an outer layer allowing the technology to disappear when it is not in use. Designed with athletes in mind, the band offers an advanced workout mode with a display that stays on during the workout, as well as an LED that indicates heart rate zone when paired with UA Heart Rate. UA Band comes in black with a red textured underside to allow for moisture wicking.
UA Heart Rate(TM) is a compact heart rate monitor with an innovative micro snap technology designed to make it undetectable during workouts. The chest strap and removable sensor helps individuals monitor intensity and train smarter. The UA Heart Rate was created to provide an accurate calculation of calories burned. Combined with the UA Record app, UA Heart Rate allows you to customize your heart rate zones.
UA Scale(TM) is a beautifully crafted, Wi-Fi enabled scale with an iconic circular design. The scale utilizes a sheet of glass with advanced conductive paint technology that enables weight and body fat percentage readings. The hidden LED display behind the glass makes technology invisible when not in use. The scale can support up to eight users and syncs with the UA Record app for individuals to view trends with weight as part of their overall dashboard. UA Scale comes in black with a red textured underside.
"There are several options for consumers today when it comes to monitoring their daily activity, but no option when it comes to capturing and presenting information in a meaningful way. Most of us know more about the health of our car than we do about our own bodies," said Robin Thurston, Chief Digital Officer, Under Armour. "Under Armour and HTC set out to change that by going far beyond the automation of data tracking. UA HealthBox provides custom health and fitness experiences designed to guide you towards your goals."
Because of its unique approach, UA HealthBox is intended to be an integral part of an individual's daily life, and as such the importance of design was paramount. UA HealthBox has been designed to unify the portfolio of products and the experience of using them.
"At HTC design is an uncompromising part of our culture. It is our DNA and we have an obsessive focus on delivering beautiful design not just on the outside but on the inside too," said Muller. "UA HealthBox is beautifully designed with no detail overlooked, but it was also designed to be a comprehensive connected system that is easy to use throughout the day and every day. This is what sets it apart from anything on the market today."
Availability
UA HealthBox will be available on January 22 in the U.S. with pre-orders beginning today on http://www.HTC.com, http://www.UA.com and at Under Armour Brand House locations.

The scale can support up to eight users and syncs with the UA Record app for individuals to view trends with weight as part of their overall dashboard. UA Scale comes in black with a red textured underside.
"There are several options for consumers today when it comes to monitoring their daily activity, but no option when it comes to capturing and presenting information in a meaningful way. Most of us know more about the health of our car than we do about our own bodies," said Robin Thurston, Chief Digital Officer, Under Armour. "Under Armour and HTC set out to change that by going far beyond the automation of data tracking. UA HealthBox provides custom health and fitness experiences designed to guide you towards your goals."
Because of its unique approach, UA HealthBox is intended to be an integral part of an individual's daily life, and as such the importance of design was paramount. UA HealthBox has been designed to unify the portfolio of products and the experience of using them.
"At HTC design is an uncompromising part of our culture. It is our DNA and we have an obsessive focus on delivering beautiful design not just on the outside but on the inside too," said Muller. "UA HealthBox is beautifully designed with no detail overlooked, but it was also designed to be a comprehensive connected system that is easy to use throughout the day and every day. This is what sets it apart from anything on the market today."
Availability
UA HealthBox will be available on January 22 in the U.S. with pre-orders beginning today on http://www.HTC.com, http://www.UA.com and at Under Armour Brand House locations. UA HealthBox (including UA Band, UA Heart Rate and UA Scale) will cost $400. UA HealthBox will roll out to additional US retailers in the first quarter and internationally throughout 2016.

HTC Reshapes Human Imagination With Inspiring Virtual Reality
HTC unveils Vive Pre, its second-generation developer edition VR system, featuring an all-new front facing camera and room-scale technology
New partners announced at the show brings VR to a broader spectrum of applications and consumers
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- HTC, a pioneer in innovative smart technologies, today announced new developments to the Vive VR system that represent the next step in bringing virtual reality to a mass-market. With Vive Pre, HTC is fulfilling the promise of creating fully immersive experiences that change how we communicate, how we are entertained, and how we learn and train. Each and every component has been redesigned from the ground up to provide better comfort, ergonomics, and performance. With milestone improvements in both visuals and versatility, Vive Pre creates a world without limits.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160104/319176
"When we first announced Vive ten months ago we had an ambitious goal of fundamentally changing the way people communicate and interact with the world - forever," comments Cher Wang, chairwoman and CEO, HTC. "Since then Vive has received a phenomenally positive reception from media, industry commentators, consumers, and the hundreds of partners and brands we've been working with to deliver inspiring and dynamic VR content. For too long, the promise of virtual reality has been little more than a promise. Today we stand on the precipice of a new era. Vive is creating a world where the only limit is human imagination."
Become immersed with the new Vive Headset
The refreshed design of the Vive headset has been refined to offer greater comfort to the wearer, increasing the sense of immersion in the virtual worlds it creates. The headset is now more compact and features an updated strap design that provides greater stability and balance. An improved visual system with brighter displays and image refinements leads to increased clarity, and an even deeper sense of presence. On the inside, interchangeable foam inserts and nose gaskets mean the Vive Pre fits comfortably and securely to the user. Vive Pre can also be easily adjusted to suit a variety of facial shapes while remaining compatible with a variety of eyeglasses.
Integrated front facing camera merges the physical and virtual
Vive Pre brings elements of the real world into the VR realm. A newly developed front facing camera allows you to do more both inside and outside your Virtual world by blending physical elements into the virtual space. Being able to take a seat, find your drink, and carry on conversations without removing your headset is only the beginning of what's possible.
Greater Control
Completing the VR experience, the Vive's controllers have been overhauled and enhanced with updated ergonomics and softer edges, greater balance, new textured buttons, and grip pads for a more comfortable feel in the hand. The new dual stage trigger makes interaction with objects smoother, and haptic feedback delivers vital feedback about your interactions with the virtual world. For power, the controllers now feature integrated rechargeable lithium polymer batteries with micro-USB charging that provides over 4 hours of runtime on a single charge.
The Vive base stations have also been redesigned to be more compact, quieter, and provide improved tracking.
Complete Solution
The HTC Vive will be the first VR hardware to support SteamVR. Created by Valve, Steam VR tracking and the Chaperone system are optimized for use with Steam, one of the largest online platforms for PC, Linux and Mac games and software.
Shaping the Virtual Reality Industry
Since announcing Vive, HTC and Valve have worked with thousands of developers and partners to create VR content across a wide spectrum of sectors; from gaming and entertainment to health, automotive, retail and education. HTC and over 15 Vive partners will be showcasing VR applications at CES 2016, demonstrating the potential of a world without limits on imagination. Leading automotive manufacturer Audi has created a premium retail experience where consumers can explore their dream car with virtual reality, and Dassault Systemes, the 3DEXPERIENCE company, will showcase how it is developing the future of 3D product design in VR. HTC is also showcasing a new brand for Vive at CES 2016.
While Vive is scheduled for commercial launch in April 2016, HTC and Valve will be starting the new year by making an additional 7,000 units available to developers.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160105/319216
"Gogoro's 2015 success has created an outpouring of support and interest from people all over the world.
