National Geographic and Bayer CropScience Release "Top Crop: Farming for the Future"
Interactive Online Game Helps Students Develop Agricultural Literacy Through Cultivating Knowledge on Growing Crops
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Oct. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- National Geographic and Bayer CropScience announce the release of "Top Crop: Farming for the Future," an interactive online game that aims to increase national agricultural literacy through educating students on the basics of what it takes to produce crops. Through a series of virtual growing seasons, game players will experience the various in-season challenges farmers face, such as pests, disease and weather, as well as learn about the multiple modern technologies available to farmers that can help them overcome those challenges.

"At National Geographic, we're committed to educating tomorrow's explorers, scientists, engineers and farmers about the world and how it works, and this 'Top Crop' game is a great example of how we can teach kids about the challenges and solutions farmers face in the real world through a fun and interactive game," said National Geographic Chief Education Officer Melina Bellows.
"Top Crop" introduces a scenario where the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) wishes to experiment with new technologies to support sustainable farming, and wants student game players to lead the way. If the student players can successfully grow crops, the USDA will provide the technology and equipment necessary to run a virtual modern agricultural operation. Throughout the course of the "Top Crop" story, game players help agricultural leaders figure out the best way to provide more healthy food and sustainable agriculture techniques to feed a growing global population.
By 2050, global food demand will increase by 60 percent, and meat consumption will increase by 70 percent. These demands must be met by cultivating more food on the same or fewer arable acres than exist today, in the face of a shrinking water supply, evolving pest pressures and a changing climate. "Top Crop" helps game players devise ways to best utilize their available resources to grow healthy crops and maximize overall crop yield.
"Bayer CropScience is proud to work alongside National Geographic to educate students on the role modern agriculture plays in our everyday lives," said Jim Blome, president and CEO of Bayer CropScience LP. "In order to produce enough safe, healthy food for the 9 billion people that will inhabit our Earth by 2050, these students and so many other people need to get involved in writing the next chapter of agriculture's history. That will only happen if we develop an agriculturally literate population that not only understands where their food comes from and how it is produced, but also develops a passion for solving the world's most pressing food issues and fighting global hunger. 'Top Crop' is a fun way to get started down this path to educating and cultivating a new generation of agricultural game changers."
"Top Crop: Farming For The Future" is available on National Geographic's Education website at http://natgeoed.org/topcrop.

At Just $39.95, this Smart Scale is Slim on Price, Heavy on Features
Just one year after launching their $12 activity band, Pivotal Living announces a full-featured and thoroughly affordable smart scale
SEATTLE, Oct. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Pivotal Corporation, the Seattle start-up responsible for disrupting the wearable fitness marketplace with its $12 Pivotal Living Band, is pleased to announce pre-order availability for the Pivotal Living Smart Scale, a smarter scale with an even smarter price. Available for $39.95, just a fraction of the cost of most smart scales on the market, the elegant and efficient smart scale integrates seamlessly with the Pivotal Living app to provide a more intelligent way to manage body weight and overall health.
Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: http://www.multivu.com/players/English/7668051-pivotal-living-bluetooth-smart-scale/
"Our mission has always been to spark a movement toward proactive health and wellness through affordable and powerful, personal health technology," said David Donovick, CEO for Pivotal Corporation. "We are very proud to introduce a feature-rich smart scale to our family of products and software, and are thrilled to be able to offer it to our members at a pizza-dinner price!"
Using advanced bioimpedance technology, the Pivotal Living Smart Scale accurately measures key body weight and body fat percentage factors, helping people lose weight and stay healthy. Designed to help users identify when they are burning fat, building muscle and losing weight, the sleek smart scale displays weight on the scale's easy-to-read LCD display screen and, when synced to the Pivotal Living mobile app, sends additional weight and body details. The scale's four load sensors accurately assess body composition measurements based on weight and height data stored within the app. Working together, the scale and app measure and track:
-- Weight (in pounds or kilograms)
-- Body Mass Index (BMI)
-- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
-- Body Fat Percentage
-- Lean Body Mass
Crafted out of tempered white glass, the Pivotal Living Smart Scale has a thin, modern design that is both eye-catching and durable. It is light, weighing less than five pounds, water-resistant and compact, measuring 12.8" square. A sleek, efficient workhorse, the scale can support and track body measurements for individuals up to 330 pounds.
A Family Affair
The Pivotal Living Smart Scale works in conjunction with the Pivotal Living mobile app by pairing seamlessly via Bluetooth(TM) 4.0 technology to display - and track - important health indicators right on the app's intuitive dashboard. Perfect for the entire (extended) family, the Pivotal Living Smart Scale tracks measurements for up to 16 people, keeping everyone's data private and only accessible within their Pivotal Living mobile app dashboard. The app is available for Android (most 4.3+ devices and above) and iOS (8.0 and above) mobile phone devices.
For a more holistic approach to health management, members can use the Smart Scale in conjunction with the Pivotal Living Band, which tracks daily activity such as steps taken, calories burned, total time active, and sleep duration and quality. Just like the Smart Scale, the wristband pairs with the Pivotal Living mobile app to provide real-time health and wellness reporting, helping members make smarter lifestyle choices. The more members use the app the better it learns individual tendencies and goals, sending customized coaching notifications and tips right to their smartphone.
The Pivotal Living Smart Scale can be pre-ordered online at http://www.PivotalLiving.com/scale for $39.95. Pre-ordered scales will be delivered by mid-December. Additional information on the smart scale, the activity band and the full line of Pivotal Living product can be found online at http://www.PivotalLiving.com.

About G-SHOCK
CASIO's shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch is synonymous with toughness, born from the developer Mr. Ibe's dream of 'creating a watch that never breaks'. Over 200 handmade samples were created and tested to destruction until finally in 1983 the first, now iconic G-SHOCK hit the streets of Japan and began to establish itself as 'the toughest watch of all time'. Each watch encompasses the 7 elements; electric shock resistance, gravity resistance, low temperature resistance, vibration resistance, water resistance, shock resistance and toughness. The watch is packed with Casio innovations and technologies to prevent it from suffering direct shock; this includes internal components protected with urethane and suspended timekeeping modules inside the watch structure. Since its launch, G-SHOCK has continued to evolve, continuing to support on Mr. Ibe's mantra "never, never give up".

Toshiba Debuts NAND Flash Memory Products for Embedded Applications
Compatible with Serial Peripheral Interface
IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)*, a committed leader that collaborates with technology companies to create breakthrough designs, today announced the launch of a new family of NAND flash memory products for embedded applications. Compatible with the widely used Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), Toshiba's new Serial Interface NAND can be used in a wide range of consumer and industrial applications, including flat screen TVs, printers, wearable devices, and robots. The Serial Interface NAND family consists of 12 products; includes three densities (1 gigabit (Gb), 2 Gb and 4 Gb); two packages (WSON(*1) and SOP(*2)); and two power supply voltages. Sample shipments start today, and mass production is scheduled to begin with the 1 Gb products in December 2015. Mass production of the remaining products will follow.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151020/278870
Due to its compatibility with the SPI, Toshiba's new product family can be controlled with just 6-pins, and can be utilized as an SLC NAND flash memory with a low pin count, small package and large capacity.
NOR flash memory is typically used in embedded applications for consumer and industrial devices. However, in order to support the new, enhanced features found in embedded devices, larger memory densities are needed in order to save software (including boot up programs, firmware and embedded OS) and data (including log data). Due to this, demand is increasing for SLC NAND flash memory based on its high density, high reliability and low bit cost when compared to NOR flash memory.
The new Serial Interface NAND product family is another example of Toshiba's strategic innovation and development to meet the wide ranging needs of the market - and expand the reach of NAND flash memory.

New Smart Monitor Alerted Mom When Her Baby Stopped Breathing

New Smart Monitor Alerted Mom When Her Baby Stopped Breathing
Owlet Baby Monitor now shipping after private beta release; company shares early success stories from real parents
PROVO, Utah, Oct. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Michelle Blanchard's Owlet Baby Monitor alerted her late one night that her 2-month-old infant had low oxygen levels. Michelle picked up her baby, who was silent and bluish in color, and began pounding on her baby's back, clearing her airway of built-up mucus. Baby Pia let out a scream and started breathing again. Michelle's story is just one of many recent Owlet Baby Monitor stories that have been shared by new parents who were part of the company's private beta release.
The Owlet Baby Monitor, which is available to the public today, is a unique device that leverages pulse oximetry, the same technology used in hospitals, miniaturized into a baby sock to alert parents if their baby's oxygen levels and heart rate are out of range and they are having difficulty breathing. With unintentional suffocation the leading cause of injury death among U.S. children under the age of one, it's no wonder parents often have trouble getting a good night's sleep during baby's first year. With the Owlet Monitor, moms and dads can rest easy knowing they will be alerted if their baby is in distress. As further proof of providing ease of mind for parents, the Owlet Monitor was just awarded the coveted Parent's Pick Award, along with the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association Safety Category Award at juvenile products largest industry show, ABC Kids Expo.
"While awareness around the threat of suffocation has increased in the past decade, many people don't realize just how quickly and easily it can happen," said Dr. Milena Adamian, M.D., an investor in Owlet. "Look at the invention and use of car seats -- their use has been mandated to prevent infant fatalities and has been successful at that. Comparatively, suffocation kills 10 times more infants each year than car crashes. It's time we take advantage of the technology available and give parents the tools they need to help keep their babies safe."
With the Owlet Baby Monitor, vitals readings from the Smart Sock are relayed to the base station and then to parents via a simple smartphone application, enabling them to check in on their baby from across the hall, or even remotely while they are away from home. While the Owlet Monitor collects sophisticated data, the sole purpose of the device is to alert parents if their baby is not breathing or if the baby's heart rate is out of range -- giving parents one less thing to worry about.
The Owlet Baby Monitor alert strategy was set by a team of pulse oximetry specialists, pediatricians, neonatologists and pulmonologists. Owlet received the Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval at Seattle Children's Hospital, and is also undergoing clinical validation for accuracy and sensitivity at the same hospital. Owlet Baby Care is currently seeking FDA clearance and working with researchers and clinicians to develop a device with medical applications. Recently, the company was awarded a $1.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for further development and research, and was included in an exclusive two-week program with Mayo Clinic's Center for Innovation.
"We're relentlessly dedicated to providing parents with reliable, easy-to-use devices to monitor baby's wellbeing," said Kurt Workman, CEO and co-founder of Owlet Baby Care. "As advanced monitoring technology is made appropriate for the home nursery, and information gathered from devices like the Owlet Baby Monitor give researchers the ability to study ongoing infant health, we hope to help doctors and parents improve infant care starting the moment the baby leaves the hospital."
Owlet's founders also shared their emotions about this milestone today in an announcement on the company blog.
In addition to the NIH grant, Owlet Baby Care recently received $6 million in new funding, bringing the total raised to $9.2 million. This Series A funding was led by Formation 8 (F8), with participation from Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS Shoes, as well as many of Owlet's previous investors.
"Owlet is using the power of business and technology to make the world a better place," said Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS Shoes and Owlet investor. "I have used the Owlet Monitor since my son was born and I LOVE the product!"
The Owlet Baby Monitor is available for purchase today and retails for $249.99. For more information and to order the monitor, please visit OwletCare.com. Owlet is not a medical device and children with irregular heart rates, oxygen levels or other special medical needs should not use the Owlet Monitor as their primary monitoring system.

Owlet Baby Monitor now shipping after private beta release; company shares early success stories from real parents
PROVO, Utah, Oct. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Michelle Blanchard's Owlet Baby Monitor alerted her late one night that her 2-month-old infant had low oxygen levels. Michelle picked up her baby, who was silent and bluish in color, and began pounding on her baby's back, clearing her airway of built-up mucus. Baby Pia let out a scream and started breathing again. Michelle's story is just one of many recent Owlet Baby Monitor stories that have been shared by new parents who were part of the company's private beta release.
The Owlet Baby Monitor, which is available to the public today, is a unique device that leverages pulse oximetry, the same technology used in hospitals, miniaturized into a baby sock to alert parents if their baby's oxygen levels and heart rate are out of range and they are having difficulty breathing. With unintentional suffocation the leading cause of injury death among U.S. children under the age of one, it's no wonder parents often have trouble getting a good night's sleep during baby's first year. With the Owlet Monitor, moms and dads can rest easy knowing they will be alerted if their baby is in distress. As further proof of providing ease of mind for parents, the Owlet Monitor was just awarded the coveted Parent's Pick Award, along with the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association Safety Category Award at juvenile products largest industry show, ABC Kids Expo.
"While awareness around the threat of suffocation has increased in the past decade, many people don't realize just how quickly and easily it can happen," said Dr. Milena Adamian, M.D., an investor in Owlet.

Fossil Announces Line of Fashionable Connected Accessories in Time for the Holiday Season
RICHARDSON, Texas, Oct. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- It's time. Time to let everyone know that a connected accessory can be more than just a functional electronic. It can be simple. It can be fashionable. It can ignite curiosity, sparking you to explore new places and experience new adventures. And on October 25, it's Fossil's time.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151020/278827
Introducing Fossil Q: a line of fashionable connected accessories that showcase the design excellence, expert craftsmanship and bit of whimsy that defines Fossil - one of the world's leading accessory brands. Comprised of two types of connected watches (both display and non-display) and two styles of connected bracelets (one for men and one for women), there's something for everyone.
For the past 30 years, Fossil has created the most authentic, vintage-inspired, creatively charged, beautiful timepieces. It continues to push the envelope of innovation in order to capture the uniqueness of its consumer. And as consumers demand more information than ever before, it's only natural that Fossil would evolve the brand to include connected accessories. This line, created in collaboration with Intel, is a delicate balance of fashion and functionality, seamlessly providing consumers only the information they need when they need it.
"Our customers are obsessed with their personal sense of style and staying connected, and we are thrilled to enter into this emerging category with an answer to their needs," said Jill Elliott-Sones, chief creative officer at Fossil. "Fossil Q is the result of countless hours of meticulous design expressed through a playful curious lens. Our hope is the unique attention to detail in both our connected accessories line and app cue our audience to try new things, be more curious and experience the world around them like never before."
Acting as your fitness tracker as well as your fun and quirky friend, Fossil Q will cue you to be curious, cue you to be active and cue up notifications from the contacts and apps you care about, without compromising your style.
The entire line of connected accessories is engineered with Intel® Innovation and is compatible with Android(TM) 4.3 and higher, iPhone 5 and above (running iOS 8.2 and higher), and connects via Bluetooth technology. The app works with top fitness applications Google Fit(TM), Health, UP by Jawbone® and UA Record(TM) by Under Armour. They also come with a wireless charging base for stress-free recharging.
Specifically the Fossil Q line includes the following:
Q Reveler: Who says you can't have fun and look good while doing it? Q Reveler is your trusted friend, keeping track of how far you run, notifying you of only the people and apps you care about and daring you to be bold and explore more around you. Keep track of who's contacting you with a subtle nudge and color LEDs. Q Reveler will be available on October 25 and cost $125.
Q Dreamer: Finally, a fitness tracker and more that looks like one of your favorite bracelets (and it goes with everything). Choose a leather band for work and a silicone band while working out; there are plenty of options to choose from, and you'll stay connected at the same time. With gentle vibrating alerts and customized color notifications for key contacts and apps, you're sure to stay in touch, in style. Q Dreamer will be available on October 25 and cost $125.
Q Grant: Curiously unassuming, it's more than meets the eye. The Q Grant looks like an ordinary watch, but under its beautiful face, it's talking to your smartphone, tracking fitness, listening for important messages and then alerting you to only the emails, texts, phone calls and app news you care about. Customize your key contacts with their own color, and when they contact you, you'll feel a gentle vibration and see that color appear on right, left, or both LED indicators located on either side of the watch. Q Grant will be available on October 25 and cost from $175-$195.
Q Founder: A powerhouse packed into an elegant package. Let your personality free as you customize your favorite watch faces with a simple swipe and tap. The Q Founder is the result of collaboration with Intel and Google, engineered with Intel® Innovation and powered by Android Wear(TM). Leveraging Intel and Google technology, the Q Founder shows you useful information just when you need it and is compatible with both Android(TM) phones and iPhones. Q Founder will be available just in time for the holiday shopping season and starts at $275.
The magic that powers all of these devices is thanks to Fossil's proprietary app. It has three main features:
Q Activity: This built-in fitness tracker lets you know how many calories you burned and also provides results in a curious way to make your activities a bit more fun. No need to ditch your favorite fitness apps; this tracker can connect seamlessly to Google Fit(TM), Health, UP by Jawbone® and UA Record(TM) by Under Armour.
Q Notifications: These notifications are your cue that a social media update, important call or meeting awaits. Filter by just the contacts or apps you care about - or get them all. It's up to you.
Q Curiosity: Cue your curiosity! These notifications alert you that it's time to break free from routine, look from a different angle or try something new in your community. These activities will ignite a new perspective, open up your creativity and leave your brain feeling refreshed.

The Beast D Takes Electric ATV's to the Next Level
TORONTO, Oct. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Beast is getting an overhaul and increasing its power to take complete control off-road. The two wheel electric all-terrain vehicle just got better with The Beast D that will feature a dual 500W Motor, and the Daymak Drive controller to the already powerful Daymak Beast. The Beast D will come with the 60V20ah Lithium Ion upgraded battery. And most importantly the Beast D is custom built in Canada!
The Daymak Beast D - All Terrain, anytime!
The Beast D is the perfect vehicle to take with you in the outback, hunting, camping and more. With the solar panel battery, you simply can leave the Beast D wherever you are and it will recharge itself for the way back home. The Beast D, unlike the standard version comes with a dual brushless DC motor that can go up to speeds of 50 km/h. The Beast D, strictly for off-road use oppose to the other versions. The Beast D also allows you to turn off one of the motors in case you need to conserve power.
The MSRP of The Beast D's is at $4299, for a dual motor ATV which is only a $1300 increase from the Beast Deluxe.
Climb mountains with ease with The Beast D ebike
With added power you can climb at a much higher incline. The Beast D can climb hills of up to 36 degrees, which is a staggering 80% increase from the Beast Ultimate. This makes going through rough terrain a breeze and with the dual leg kick stand you can leave at the highest point of your trek and not be concerned that it comes rolling down the other way. The Beast D allows you to reach heights that you would never imagine with a conventional ATV!
And the initial reviews for the Beast D have been more than impressive
"Compared to an ATV, you just get more" - Michael C
"Beast D is a class above your run of the mill ATV and at a fraction of the price. The mobility and utility is enough to sell it on its own, with the dual motor Beast D, with both front and rear wheeled drive its' perfect for the cottage. You make your own trails and you don't have to worry about things like noise or gas" - Donovan W
The Beast D is available now. For more information and full specs on the Beast D or to order now, you can go to http://www.daymakbeast.com

Just in Time for Marty McFly's Arrival Into the Future: The Market Launch of the Self-balancing AngelBoard Will Turn the Hoverboard Into Reality
GRAZ, Austria, Oct. 21, 2015 /CNW/ - The latest edition of the Canton Fair saw a new exclusive co-brand partnership between AngelBoard and Chic Intelligent Technology Co.(CHIC). This self-balancing scooter will be communicated as the AngelBoard. It will resemble the Hoverboard from 'Back to the Future' when it comes to fun and technology.
It's no coincidence that Marty McFly arrives in the future on October 21, 2015. Today we launch AngelBoard, the hoverboard that will have you gliding through the streets. The company AngelBoard operates as an exclusive global co-brand of CHIC Intelligent Technology.
In recent months many boards have surfaced creating controversy around who is the original patent holder of the self-balancing hoverboard technology. CHIC are the original inventors, with 22 patents and are responsible for the hardware found in the IO HAWK and other brands.
Other self-balancing devices such as Hovertrax, promoted via the Kickstarter Campaign 2013, are based on a different technology.
The Original
CHIC Intelligent Technology Co. builds the AngelBoard. The company was founded by Pan Yunhe, the former president of the Zhejiang University of Science and Technology. CHIC has been developing this technology for almost ten years.
What exactly is AngelBoard?
The AngelBoard is something entirely new. It's not a skateboard. It's not a Segway. It's a revolution in personal transportation that is taking the world by storm. Similar to the fictional Hoverboard on "Back to the Future", a slight weight shift is enough to set the the AngelBoard in motion. The board can transport people up to 120 kg with a speed of 12 km/h distances of up to 20km on a single charge. Social media shows: even stars like Justin Bieber and Jamie Foxx are fascinated by this technology.
"We are looking forward to starting a new movement with the AngelBoard." Batista Gérard Ruben, AngelBoard.

The launch of BroadCloud SIP Trunking will enable Service Providers to offer their
business customers a high value service for locations not ready to fully deploy cloud PBX
and UC. AudioCodes' portfolio of SBCs and Gateways were tested with BroadCloud solutions
and successfully completed interoperability testing. AudioCodes' SBCs and Gateways allow
SIP trunk interoperability with virtually any PBX or IP-PBX, including Microsoft Skype for
Business, and represent a secured point of demarcation between the SIP trunking
infrastructure and the enterprise network. They provide integrated high quality voice
features, support for SIP protocols, a wide variety of codecs, built-in analog and digital
interfaces, and built-in monitoring based on BroadSoft's PacketSmart(R), embedded within
the SBC.
"The use of the AudioCodes platforms is an important element in the deployment of our
SIP trunk offering and a natural next step in our strategic relationship," said Taher
Behbehani, Chief Marketing Officer, BroadSoft. "AudioCodes has a strong reputation, for
many years as an industry leader, of having assisted companies in their migration from TDM
to SIP. This solution enables Service Providers to approach multi-site enterprises with a
large unamortized legacy PBX installed base and offer them immediate business value and a
graceful migration to cloud-based UC at a pace that makes sense for their business, while
maximizing their ROI."
"We are proud that our platforms were chosen for BroadCloud's SIP Trunking offering,"
said Lior Aldema, Chief Operating Officer and Vice President Global Sales at AudioCodes.
"BroadSoft's selection of AudioCodes' products for use in its SIP trunk offering after a
very meticulous process is yet further evidence of the strong value of our AudioCodes One
Voice for BroadSoft Solution, a one-stop-shop offering that includes not only Session
Border Controllers and Gateways, but also IP Phones, business routers and micro-business
solutions."
AudioCodes' SBC portfolio includes a wide range of SBCs scaling from a few sessions
all the way up to 30,000 sessions. They can be deployed as either an appliance or as a
software SBC.

Yasin Qureshi Forms New THE NAGA GROUP AG

Yasin Qureshi Forms New THE NAGA GROUP AG
HAMBURG, Germany, October 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
The FinTech-Start-up takes on out-dated financial system and vows to mobilize the
people
Yasin Qureshi, founder and CEO of newly formed THE NAGA GROUP AG, Hamburg, has
committed his new organisation to seriously take on, what he calls, a most out-dated
financial system. He expressly included his former own bank, Hamburg-based Varengold Bank
AG, which he built himself from scratch.
Yasin Qureshi: "We are ready now to offer communities of dynamic and informed people
technology that lets them be more self-determined, quicker and, most of all, mobile.
Investments and banking do need to be more transparent and working for the people. We will
show exactly that."
Pointing to mobile technology, modern communication, and the growing frustration of
the public with a scandal-stricken banking sector, Qureshi proposes change. Change by
giving professionals, as well as novice traders access to mobile state-of-the-art
financial technology. In short, opening non-transparent and previously inaccessible
markets to higher participation.
The first app is SwipeStox, a mobile social trading app. At launch, traders will be
offered a demo account with money trading beginning at the end of the year. For this,
Qureshi hooked up with entrepreneur Benjamin Bilski, co-founder of THE NAGA GROUP AG and
Managing Director of the SwipeStox GmbH, Frankfurt. The app is free of charge. It lets the
participating traders invest, as well as copy their successful trades among each other
when trading foreign currencies (Forex), contracts for difference (CFDs), or common market
indices. The trader earns by getting a bonus from SwipeStox for each of his trades that
are being copied, and, of course, for the right investment or copy decision.
What's so special: The app builds on bringing together a large network of
participating professional traders with casual, novice traders. The in-build feature
geolocation allows traders to quickly find, meet and get to know each other. There are no
charts and press releases to study, it is very fast, and information is transparently
presented. The user can browse between possible trades with a single swipe on his
smartphones' display. Making it, actually, great mobile fun. SwipeStox is now available on
GooglePlay and shortly on the Apple App-Store.

http://www.swipestox.com
THE NAGA GROUP AG:
Yasin Sebastian Qureshi, founder and former CEO of Varengold Bank AG, formulated the
idea of an initiative and incubator for disruptive financial technology in 2013. Growing
quickly into a delivering entity, his investment since brought together a global team of
experts building innovative and mobile apps. For professionals as much as for casual
users. Hence, on the 1st of August, 2015, THE NAGA GROUP AG was incorporated. It's
mission: to develop, market and grow disruptive applications in financial technology, all
of which aim to bring change and opening to an out-dated financial system. THE NAGA GROUP
AG currently operates facilities in four countries across Europe (Hamburg, Frankfurt,
London, Nikosia). From product development to design and marketing all of its ventures are
aimed at international communities. THE NAGA GROUP AG holds its own EU Asset Management
licence enabling it to supply its ventures a framework of financial services ranging from
brokerage licensing to legal support. The word "Naga" means "Cobra Snake" in Sanskrit and
it is the name for the hottest chilli in the world.

My Real Games Announces New Games for October
LONDON, October 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
October is sport and games month at the free games hub MyRealGames.com as a fresh new
selection of titles not previously available make their debut on site. These include an
addictive 8 ball pool [http://www.myrealgames.com/download-free-games/free-8-ball-pool ]
challenge and several fast and furious car games
[http://www.myrealgames.com/genres/free-racing-cars-games ] to take Fall full throttle.
    (Logo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20141208/720121 )
Nikolai Veselov from MyRealGames.com said, "Every month we make a point of uploading a
bigger and better selection of new PC downloadable, online and mobile titles for our
gamers to enjoy. October is no different so new and returning visitors alike should expect
to see lots of new games across nearly every genre with a choice of options for playing
online, on a mobile device and downloading for free to a PC. We have some spooky Halloween
titles and a great collection of games, racing and sporting challenges to enjoy."
The hidden object game Deadtime Stories is a suitably ghoulish addition for October -
perfect for playing in the run up to Halloween. Gamers are invited to unravel a bone
chilling ghost story, set in Edward Blackgate's invitation-only cemetery in the darker
heart of New Orleans. Players must solve riddles, free trapped spirits and navigate
haunted swamps full of sinister thrills to discover the truth behind the demise of a
voodoo princess.
City Racing, a PC downloadable car game also roars onto MyRealGames.com this month.
Starting with a wrecked car, drivers need to explore the big city, make it first past the
line in local events and win enough prizes to repair their vehicle or upgrade to a better
one. Fully PC downloadable, only the best racers need apply.
Gamers hankering after a slower pace of life can travel to Italy with MyRealGames.com
in Dream Day Wedding: Bella Italia. The hidden object quest is set in the beautifully
picturesque Tuscan countryside - but players need to help their clients set the mood and
create a breathtaking wedding day before enjoying all that cosmopolitan Florence has to
offer. A charming adventure packed with great graphics, players can explore historic works
of art while listening to classic Italian opera and mastermind a day never to be
forgotten.
For those expecting a busy month, there are also a slew of new games to play from a
mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet. One of the standout new additions for
October is the compelling Troll Boxing. Troll Boxing is available to play both online and
on the go, compatible with iPhone, Android and iPad. The popular action game is fun for
all ages and is available to play now.
More new games will be added throughout the month for regular visitors.

Just in Time for Marty McFly's Arrival Into the Future: The Market Launch of the Self-balancing AngelBoard Will Turn the Hoverboard Into Reality

Just in Time for Marty McFly's Arrival Into the Future: The Market Launch of the Self-balancing AngelBoard Will Turn the Hoverboard Into Reality
GRAZ, Austria, Oct. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The latest edition of the Canton Fair saw a new exclusive co-brand partnership between AngelBoard and Chic Intelligent Technology Co.(CHIC). This self-balancing scooter will be communicated as the AngelBoard. It will resemble the Hoverboard from 'Back to the Future' when it comes to fun and technology.
It's no coincidence that Marty McFly arrives in the future on October 21, 2015. Today we launch AngelBoard, the hoverboard that will have you gliding through the streets. The company AngelBoard operates as an exclusive global co-brand of CHIC Intelligent Technology.
In recent months many boards have surfaced creating controversy around who is the original patent holder of the self-balancing hoverboard technology. CHIC are the original inventors, with 22 patents and are responsible for the hardware found in the IO HAWK and other brands.
Other self-balancing devices such as Hovertrax, promoted via the Kickstarter Campaign 2013, are based on a different technology.
The Original
CHIC Intelligent Technology Co. builds the AngelBoard. The company was founded by Pan Yunhe, the former president of the Zhejiang University of Science and Technology. CHIC has been developing this technology for almost ten years.
What exactly is AngelBoard?
The AngelBoard is something entirely new. It's not a skateboard. It's not a Segway. It's a revolution in personal transportation that is taking the world by storm. Similar to the fictional Hoverboard on "Back to the Future", a slight weight shift is enough to set the the AngelBoard in motion. The board can transport people up to 120 kg with a speed of 12 km/h distances of up to 20km on a single charge. Social media shows: even stars like Justin Bieber and Jamie Foxx are fascinated by this technology.
"We are looking forward to starting a new movement with the AngelBoard," said Batista Gérard Ruben, from AngelBoard.

Getac RX10H Healthcare Rugged Tablet Enhances Caregiver / Patient Relationship by Helping Deliver Exceptional and Efficient Healthcare Services
Healthcare Ready Tablet Gives Doctors, Caregivers, and Medical Assistants Secure Access to Patient Records for Accurate and Immediate Treatment
MELBOURNE, Australia, Oct. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Getac Technology Corporation, a leading manufacturer of rugged computers, announced a new rugged tablet designed for use in all healthcare environments. The RX10H helps medical professionals gather patient information and expedite administrative paperwork all from a single device, supporting the delivery of exceptional and efficient healthcare services.
The new thin and light Getac RX10H rugged tablet with Windows 10 provides a fast, secure and sanitized way for doctors, nurses, home health providers and field EMT's (Emergency Medical Technicians) to monitor patients and quickly access a patient's electronic medical history, view test results and capture current medical data. The Getac RX10H was designed with caregivers in mind to deliver the most reliable, multi-function mobile computing solution currently available. This tablet will enable the sharing of vital medical information between providers and patients regardless of location. With options like a detachable keyboard, the RX10H becomes a 2-in-1 device that transforms from a tablet to a laptop instantly. The rugged keyboard is IP54 rated, providing protection against dust and liquid spills and has the durability to withstand frequent sanitization.
"No other market has had the technological mandates of the healthcare field," said Rowina Lee, Vice President of Global Sales & Marketing of Getac. "With the RX10H, we have designed a product to fill a much needed void in the healthcare environment, combining a lightweight, ergonomic design with the durability to withstand the tumbles and fluids a device is exposed to in the healthcare environment. The initial feedback has been incredible," Lee concluded.
In addition to mobile use throughout hospitals and medical facilities, home healthcare professionals will also find the RX10H to be an invaluable tool for collecting, storing, and monitoring patient information. Designed with enough power to last through an entire shift of work, the RX10H comes standard with the LifeSupport(TM) hot-swappable battery, allowing you to replace your battery with a fresh one without ever shutting down applications or the Windows OS.
Safe, Secure and Sanitary
The Getac RX10H rugged tablet is certified to medical regulations EN/IEC 60601-1 and incorporates an antimicrobial surface to resist the growth of harmful organisms. The RX10H has also been tested to withstand the frequent chemical sanitization that occurs in the healthcare environment.
The device offers powerful security protection for keeping patient records safe. Its Multifactor Authentication includes password protection, RFID reader, fingerprint reader and Smartcard reader. In addition, TPM 2.0 further enhances security to protect private health information.
Advanced Features and Functions
The RX10H weighs 1.2 kilogram and its overall design, and ergonomic handle make it easy to transport throughout a medical facility or remotely. The Getac RX10H is the industry's first dedicated medical tablet with a 10.1-inch full HD display and capacitive multi-touch screen, including use with gloves. The widescreen display provides plenty of surface area to run Windows 10 and view any electronic medical records solution currently available.
"Getac RX10H is an innovative solution that enables healthcare workers to be more efficient and share information more effectively, resulting in better care for patients," said Peter Han, Vice President of Worldwide OEM Marketing, Microsoft Corp. "This device running Windows 10 offers the security and reliability that is required for these demanding professionals."
In addition, the screen incorporates Getac's exclusive LumiBond(®) 2.0 technology to achieve a display that is brighter and tougher while offering better contrast and crisper colors than any other dedicated healthcare tablet display available today. Getac's proprietary technology also enhances screen sensitivity in wet environments while utilizing a stylus, digitizer, or even gloves, an essential feature for healthcare professionals.
The Getac RX10H can easily operate in temperatures ranging from -20 degrees Celsius to 55 degrees Celsius and is engineered to protect the tablet against four-foot drops, shock, spills, vibration, dust, and liquid. The RX10H has been independently tested and certified to MIL-STD 810G and IP65 standards where special sealing and fan-less design prevent liquids from entering the device during cleaning or wet environments.
The RX10H is available for immediate order, starting at an MSRP of AU$2,960 and will begin shipping in December 2015.

The Uprising Creative Launches Virtual Reality Studio VEHICLEvr to Foster Original VR Content Creation, Development, and Experimentation
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Building on recent virtual reality (VR) successes with Mike Shinoda's Fort Minor, CBS Interactive, Wevr and many others, the principals of award-winning integrated creative + production company The Uprising Creative have launched virtual reality content studio VEHICLEvr (http://vehicle-vr.com). The new venture focuses specifically on the creation, development, production and direction of original and branded VR content, as well as providing high-end VR production services to its partner companies.
VEHICLEvr launches with a roster of directors including Darren Craig, Jeff Nicholas, Jonathan Craven, Justin Hantz, Dan Huiting and Alexander Thompson, as well as a partnership with commercial representation company Resource that allows VEHICLEvr to facilitate original and branded VR content development and production for a select portion of Resource's roster of directors and production companies. VEHICLEvr is represented for original content through UTA, for music videos through Tommy LaBuda Representation, and for commercial, branded content, and experiential projects through Resource.
With a wide array of new VR projects currently in active development for numerous sponsorship, production and distribution partners, VEHICLEvr will continue to deliver the type of high-end, engaging VR content that The Uprising Creative started producing earlier this year. Its upcoming slate spans shorts to original series and features, from comedy and sci-fi to music- and food-based projects, with talents like social media star Marcus Johns, Wolvesmouth chef and artist Craig Thornton, and comedian and actor Ari Stidham (CBS's "Scorpion" via Endless Media) attached.
The operation will be supported by Uprising principles and staff talents in expanded roles. Jeff Nicholas will serve as Managing Director and Head of Development alongside VP of Partnerships and Experiential Brian Schopfel, EP and Head of Production Jonathan Craven, VP of Digital Experiences Austin Mayer, VP of Technology and Innovation Keith Hoffman, VP of Finance Bryan Beuhring, Studio Manager Shakur Zazani, Producers David Adametz, Cat Chiang and Lauren Ciell, and others.
"Right now, VEHICLEvr is under NDA on at least 10 projects that are already in the pipeline, and that was all pre-launch," Schopfel confirmed. "Across our original and partner-based projects, we have several that will be dedicated to different technologies and distribution platforms. We are putting serious resources into making original and branded VR content that will define the future."
"While speaking on VR panels at SXSW, Cannes Lions and Digital Hollywood this year, people keep asking me when we're launching our VR studio," Nicholas added. "We intentionally started out slowly, so we could really understand the medium and the challenges of creating compelling content for VR. But with the success of the Fort Minor and CBSi projects, along with the fun we're having experimenting and creating VR content in general, it really propelled us to take the next step and launch VEHICLEvr. It felt inevitable."
In addition to developing, producing and directing original VR content, VEHICLEvr will also leverage Uprising's full creative, digital and experiential capabilities, as well as its strengths in traditional content development and production, to create well-rounded campaigns and experiences that go far beyond VR headsets.
"Virtual reality is the really special place where technology and empathy collide," Nicholas began. "It creates an immersive universe for storytelling unlike any that has come before it. With VEHICLEvr, we are creating a home for our directors, producers, makers, and creative partners to explore and create VR content largely unencumbered by deadlines and clients; we're writing the rules as we go."
The latest Digital Hollywood event (http://digitalhollywood.com) is currently happening in Marina del Rey, where Nicholas will be on today's panel, "The Contours and Technology of VR-AR-Immersive: It Feels Like Magic."

Be Brilliant With The New HTC One
HTC delivers a bold new choice for people who want stunning design without compromising on style, performance or personalization: the HTC One A9
NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- HTC today unveiled the latest addition to the award-winning HTC One family, the HTC One A9. Melding the best of HTC's acclaimed design and innovation with the latest from Google's Android, this is a stunning, no-compromise smartphone that stands out from the crowd. Built for people who want a better choice, the HTC One A9 is a smartphone that combines striking design on the outside with the newest features of Android 6.0 Marshmallow with HTC Sense on the inside to create an unrivaled smartphone experience.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151019/278580
"HTC is a smartphone pioneer, having delivered the first Android smartphone, the first Windows smartphone, the first 4G smartphone, and the first all-metal smartphone," said Cher Wang, chairwoman and CEO, HTC. "Today we're taking that heritage of innovation to the next level, unveiling a phone that stands apart in a market increasingly dominated by a company which controls every aspect of your phone. The HTC One A9 breaks from this trend by offering an incredible design, fantastic performance, cutting-edge software features and the freedom to take full control of your smartphone experience."
Metalmorphics: A new standard of all-metal design excellence
An evolution of the iconic HTC One family design, the HTC One A9 draws on the natural beauty around us, by using rich, striking colors and unique finishes - an approach called "metalmorphics." New curves, refined edges, and precision-cut ridges on the power button flawlessly combine with the super-thin metal frame giving the phone a natural and lightweight feel. The elegant dual finish, available in a Carbon Gray, Opal Silver, Topaz Gold and Deep Garnet(1), is painstakingly brushed with hairline detail and bead-blasted before the sides are polished, giving additional depth and richness that is unique in the smartphone market. Finally, in a stunning fusion of metal and glass, a 5-inch, edge-to-edge, 2.5D Corning® Gorilla® Glass 4, Full HD AMOLED screen cascades into the metal frame, giving you brighter and more vivid colors for brilliant graphics and gaming, even in direct sunlight.
Unleash your inner photographer
Your best camera is the one you use whenever the moment strikes, so it should be able to capture stunning shots in any situation. The HTC One A9's front and rear cameras, coupled with powerful yet simple editing tools, mean epic photos and videos are only a tap away. Its main 13MP rear camera features Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), which automatically minimizes hand shake and corrects vibrations to give you a crystal-clear picture every time. Meanwhile, the front UltraPixel camera delivers the best self-portraits in any lighting condition, using HTC's UltraPixel sensor to capture 300% more light than conventional smartphone cameras.
With the HTC One A9, no detail is too small. Offering an optional Pro mode to capture the perfect photo without being a photography expert, you can also save photos using RAW capture - a tool used by professional photographers - for an unmatched level of detail and post-shot editing flexibility. Or you can keep things simple with Photo Editor's one-button enhancement feature, which automatically brightens colors and sharpens edges for unbelievably clear and crisp photos(2).
Sometimes a still photo just isn't enough. With the HTC One A9's Hyperlapse editing tool you can speed up your videos to 12 times as fast for a dramatic time-lapse effect, creating an immersive video that perfectly captures the moments that matter. Speed through your video or use capture mode to edit in slow motion, highlighting those unforgettable memories. Or use HTC Zoe to easily and automatically mix your best shots and videos into one professional-looking highlight reel that can be shared with friends and family to tell the story of any moment from every angle.
Awesome audio: music the way it's supposed to sound
Game changing audio has always been core to the HTC One family - the HTC One A9 delivers amazing sound quality, with HTC BoomSound(TM) integrated into the headset combined with Dolby Audio(TM) surround technology(3), delivering immersive, vibrant sound that matches a live experience in your headphones by taking high-resolution audio to the next level(4). With a built-in DAC that delivers audio at 24-bit, 192KHz quality - better than CD quality - it provides a richness and depth like you've never before heard from your music collection. A powerful high-output headphone amplifier, with double the output of other handsets, provides more power and dynamic range so you can hear every nuance of your favorite music, videos and games. Optional high-resolution audio certified HTC Pro Studio Earphones deliver both noise isolation and truly immersive sound.
Cutting-edge software: Android 6.0 Marshmallow
The first non-Nexus smartphone powered by Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the HTC One A9 brings Google's latest innovations and the simplicity of HTC Sense right out of the box. Combined with a multi-directional fingerprint scanner, Android Pay makes purchasing items as secure and as easy as "tap, pay, done."(5 )Google's Now on Tap feature also intuitively provides contextual information about whatever is on your screen - look up reviews for a movie from a text, hear a song mentioned in a blog post, or book seats at a restaurant from an email, all at the press of the home button.
With so many new features, the HTC One A9 has also been designed with all new power-saving capabilities to maximize battery life. Doze automatically turns off power hungry applications when your phone is left idle, such as when charging overnight, while App Standby knows when an app open in the background isn't being used and shuts it down until you need it again. In addition, the phone's new processor, AMOLED screen and support for the optional HTC Rapid Charger 2.0, for up to 75% faster charging(6) are all optimized to maximize battery life throughout the day(7). In real terms this means, for example, that you can play 12 hours of HD video on one charge.
Performance designed for the way YOU use your phone
Featuring the newest Qualcomm® Snapdragon(TM) 617 processor with integrated X8 LTE and 64-bit octa-core CPUs, the HTC One A9 is designed to deliver a perfect balance of powerful performance, fast connectivity and better battery life. With support for epic LTE wireless speeds through next-generation carrier aggregation technology, it delivers more high-definition streaming videos, more pulse-pounding high-resolution audio and more storage in the cloud to hold everything your heart desires. The phone is available in both 16 and 32GB configurations and features expandable memory, supporting up to 2TB in SD card storage, perfect for storing all your apps, games, photos, music and videos.
To protect your smartphone, pair it with the HTC Dot View(TM) II case, available in Obsidian, Deep Garnet, Sea Coral and Turquoise Blue. Its retro-inspired dot matrix cover reveals instant notifications, weather updates, caller ID and more, even while closed, and simple gesture controls bring music, flashlight, radio and voice recording tools closer than ever.
The HTC One A9 and accessories will be available worldwide, both at retailers and at htc.com, beginning November 2015.
U.S. Availability
In the U.S., the HTC One A9 will be available across multiple carriers and retailers. They will announce colors, availability and pricing for their respective channels.

HTC delivers a bold new choice for people who want stunning design without compromising on style, performance or personalization: the HTC One A9
NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- HTC today unveiled the latest addition to the award-winning HTC One family, the HTC One A9. Melding the best of HTC's acclaimed design and innovation with the latest from Google's Android, this is a stunning, no-compromise smartphone that stands out from the crowd. Built for people who want a better choice, the HTC One A9 is a smartphone that combines striking design on the outside with the newest features of Android 6.0 Marshmallow with HTC Sense on the inside to create an unrivaled smartphone experience.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151019/278580
"HTC is a smartphone pioneer, having delivered the first Android smartphone, the first Windows smartphone, the first 4G smartphone, and the first all-metal smartphone," said Cher Wang, chairwoman and CEO, HTC. "Today we're taking that heritage of innovation to the next level, unveiling a phone that stands apart in a market increasingly dominated by a company which controls every aspect of your phone. The HTC One A9 breaks from this trend by offering an incredible design, fantastic performance, cutting-edge software features and the freedom to take full control of your smartphone experience."
Metalmorphics: A new standard of all-metal design excellence
An evolution of the iconic HTC One family design, the HTC One A9 draws on the natural beauty around us, by using rich, striking colors and unique finishes - an approach called "metalmorphics." New curves, refined edges, and precision-cut ridges on the power button flawlessly combine with the super-thin metal frame giving the phone a natural and lightweight feel. The elegant dual finish, available in a Carbon Gray, Opal Silver, Topaz Gold and Deep Garnet(1), is painstakingly brushed with hairline detail and bead-blasted before the sides are polished, giving additional depth and richness that is unique in the smartphone market. Finally, in a stunning fusion of metal and glass, a 5-inch, edge-to-edge, 2.5D Corning® Gorilla® Glass 4, Full HD AMOLED screen cascades into the metal frame, giving you brighter and more vivid colors for brilliant graphics and gaming, even in direct sunlight.
Unleash your inner photographer
Your best camera is the one you use whenever the moment strikes, so it should be able to capture stunning shots in any situation. The HTC One A9's front and rear cameras, coupled with powerful yet simple editing tools, mean epic photos and videos are only a tap away. Its main 13MP rear camera features Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), which automatically minimizes hand shake and corrects vibrations to give you a crystal-clear picture every time. Meanwhile, the front UltraPixel camera delivers the best self-portraits in any lighting condition, using HTC's UltraPixel sensor to capture 300% more light than conventional smartphone cameras.
With the HTC One A9, no detail is too small. Offering an optional Pro mode to capture the perfect photo without being a photography expert, you can also save photos using RAW capture - a tool used by professional photographers - for an unmatched level of detail and post-shot editing flexibility. Or you can keep things simple with Photo Editor's one-button enhancement feature, which automatically brightens colors and sharpens edges for unbelievably clear and crisp photos(2).
Sometimes a still photo just isn't enough. With the HTC One A9's Hyperlapse editing tool you can speed up your videos to 12 times as fast for a dramatic time-lapse effect, creating an immersive video that perfectly captures the moments that matter. Speed through your video or use capture mode to edit in slow motion, highlighting those unforgettable memories. Or use HTC Zoe to easily and automatically mix your best shots and videos into one professional-looking highlight reel that can be shared with friends and family to tell the story of any moment from every angle.
Awesome audio: music the way it's supposed to sound
Game changing audio has always been core to the HTC One family - the HTC One A9 delivers amazing sound quality, with HTC BoomSound(TM) integrated into the headset combined with Dolby Audio(TM) surround technology(3), delivering immersive, vibrant sound that matches a live experience in your headphones by taking high-resolution audio to the next level(4). With a built-in DAC that delivers audio at 24-bit, 192KHz quality - better than CD quality - it provides a richness and depth like you've never before heard from your music collection. A powerful high-output headphone amplifier, with double the output of other handsets, provides more power and dynamic range so you can hear every nuance of your favorite music, videos and games. Optional high-resolution audio certified HTC Pro Studio Earphones deliver both noise isolation and truly immersive sound.
Cutting-edge software: Android 6.0 Marshmallow
The first non-Nexus smartphone powered by Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the HTC One A9 brings Google's latest innovations and the simplicity of HTC Sense right out of the box. Combined with a multi-directional fingerprint scanner, Android Pay makes purchasing items as secure and as easy as "tap, pay, done."(5 )Google's Now on Tap feature also intuitively provides contextual information about whatever is on your screen - look up reviews for a movie from a text, hear a song mentioned in a blog post, or book seats at a restaurant from an email, all at the press of the home button.
With so many new features, the HTC One A9 has also been designed with all new power-saving capabilities to maximize battery life. Doze automatically turns off power hungry applications when your phone is left idle, such as when charging overnight, while App Standby knows when an app open in the background isn't being used and shuts it down until you need it again. In addition, the phone's new processor, AMOLED screen and support for the optional HTC Rapid Charger 2.0, for up to 75% faster charging(6) are all optimized to maximize battery life throughout the day(7). In real terms this means, for example, that you can play 12 hours of HD video on one charge.

Xpressdocs Expands Printing Capabilities with New HP Indigo Digital Presses
Offering the Best in Print Performance with High Quality and Accelerated Speed
FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Xpressdocs Holdings, Inc., a leading provider of on-demand marketing solutions, announced expansion of its print infrastructure to leverage the latest in digital press technology from HP. The HP Indigo 7800 and W7250 Digital Presses offer improved quality and productivity, advanced color management, while also helping to reduce waste and boost sustainability.
The press expansion supports the evolution of Xpressdocs' brand management and marketing platform by providing a broader base of substrates and variable data capabilities. This will allow the company to roll out exciting new products in the coming months in an effort to give customers more options than ever before.
The HP Indigo 7800 Digital Press provides automated on-press color management aided by an in-line spectrophotometer, helping ensure color consistency between presses to meet strict brand guidelines. With advanced digital print technology and a wider color gamut, Xpressdocs can now deliver prints with enhanced color vibrancy. Featuring the option to produce color jobs with 33 percent higher throughput,(1) the HP Indigo W7250 Digital Press will help get customers' orders out the door even faster.
The new HP Indigo digital presses also bring advanced production efficiency to Xpressdocs' print operation with in-line finishing capabilities, and time-savings with newly incorporated automated processes. For example, the HP Indigo 7800 Digital Press does not require production downtime to manually reload paper. It has the ability to automatically transfer paper supply from one compartment to another. This acceleration in production will nearly double Xpressdocs' digital print productivity.
Eric Chandler, CEO of Xpressdocs, stated, "Our clients continue to increase the localization and personalization of their promotional efforts to meet the demands of their markets. The efficiency and increased scale realized through this expansion enables Xpressdocs to further support client needs, while maintaining the fastest turn times in the industry."
As a certified Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain of Custody business, Xpressdocs decidedly pursued these presses because they help reduce waste and boost sustainability, by enabling just-in-time print production in the exact quantities needed. HP Indigo digital presses also feature a self-sustaining imaging oil kit, helping to reduce waste by generating distilled imaging oil sufficient for the printing process. In addition, going from 12 print engines to just seven greatly reduces the electricity needed to power the presses.
About Xpressdocs
Xpressdocs is a leading provider of direct marketing solutions for enterprises and franchises. The Xpressdocs marketing platform features an efficient way to produce integrated marketing campaigns that include print, email and social media. Platform users can easily customize and order full-service direct mail, digital and offset printing, custom packaging, bindery and finishing services.

As a certified Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain of Custody business, Xpressdocs decidedly pursued these presses because they help reduce waste and boost sustainability, by enabling just-in-time print production in the exact quantities needed.

In addition, going from 12 print engines to just seven greatly reduces the electricity needed to power the presses.

Xojo 2015 Release 3 Now Available; Adds Ability to Develop Native Raspberry Pi Apps, 64-Bit Support for Desktop, Web and Console Apps
With this latest release, Xojo becomes the first professional RAD tool that makes it easy to create Desktop, Web and Console apps for the Raspberry Pi and Raspbian Linux
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Xojo, Inc., the company that has enabled 300,000 developers to build native cross-platform applications, today announced the availability of Xojo 2015 Release 3. Xojo is a rapid application development tool (RAD) for developing apps for the desktop (OS X, Windows and Linux), web, iOS and now, Raspberry Pi. With this milestone release, Xojo makes it easy to create Desktop, Web and Console apps for the Raspberry Pi.
Xojo is the best environment for professional developers, citizen developers and hobbyists alike who want to develop for the desktop, web and mobile. Xojo applications compile to machine code for greater performance and security. Xojo uses native controls so apps look and feel right on each platform. Since one set of source code can be used to support multiple platforms, development is ten times faster. Simply drag and drop to create the user interface, utilizing one straight-forward programming language to implement the app's functionality.
The Raspberry Pi is a popular, low cost, credit-card sized computer that programmers typically develop for using console-based Python. With Xojo you can now create Raspberry Pi desktop, web and console apps all from a slick integrated development environment using a powerful object-oriented programming language. Plus, Xojo is cross-platform and multi-platform, so Raspberry Pi apps can also easily work on Windows, OS X, Linux and the web. Raspberry Pi licenses start at $49.
"Raspberry Pi and other single-board computers provide an inexpensive and compact solution for cases where a typical PC is overkill," commented Geoff Perlman, Xojo Founder and CEO. "As thousands of people can attest, Xojo is the easiest way to create apps. And now it is the easiest way to create Raspberry Pi apps. Plus, if you've already created apps using Xojo, you can click one button to create a version for Raspberry Pi!"
"As part of our ambiance music and digital signage services, we're using Mac Minis as the hardware platform for our media player software," commented Bruno Frechette of PJJ Productions in Canada. "Xojo supporting the Raspberry Pi will have a significant impact on our business: lower cost for the Pi compared to Minis, cheaper shipping of replacement units, easier installation... But the best part is we'll be able to simply recompile our existing software with minimal changes and start deploying Pi units in a very short time. And since the same code will be compiled to run on both the existing Minis and the Pi, we'll be able to continue adding features to our software and still support both platforms."
"For the last several years I have wanted to be able to sell a complete turnkey control solution to my customers," commented Jon Ogden of Just Add Software. "But re-selling a 'normal' PC is not a cost effective solution. With Xojo now supporting Raspberry Pi, I can provide a complete, branded turnkey control solution to my customers for less than what they would spend on a PC based system. With minimal modifications that were related more to Linux than anything else, I had one of my applications compiled and running on the Raspberry Pi with no issues. I am very excited about being able to provide a complete solution to my customers as opposed to just the software piece."
Xojo 2015 Release 3 contains over 260 changes, including:
-- 64-bit Desktop, Web and Console apps for OS X, Linux and Windows
-- Raspberry Pi 2 (32-bit ARMv7 Linux) apps for desktop, web and console
apps
-- Drag and Drop support for web applications
-- Compiler now optimizes code up to 3X faster for better performance on
iOS and 64-bit web/desktop
-- Bookmark any line of code for more productivity
-- A new "Collect" feature gathers all external items in a project (such as
pictures) and saves them together alongside the project file, making it
easier to move a project from a single developer to a team using version
control
-- The all-new Uniform Type Identifier editor lets you easily manage the
files used by your app

About Xojo, Inc.
Xojo, Inc. was founded with the idea that software development should be accessible to anyone. With traditional tools, creating software applications can be a very complicated process, but using Xojo anyone can learn to create high quality, native apps for the web, desktop, mobile and single board computers.

SOL REPUBLIC PARTNERS WITH INDIEGOGO TO EXCLUSIVELY LAUNCH RELAYS SPORT WIRELESS IN-EAR HEADPHONES
Upgrade your fitness experience with the ultra-lightweight Relays Sport Wireless
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SOL REPUBLIC and INDIEGOGO have partnered to exclusively launch the newest Sol Republic in-ear headphone, Relays Sport Wireless, directly to physically active music lovers exclusively through Indiegogo (http://igg.me/at/RSW). The Relays Sport Wireless in-ear headphones are ultra-lightweight and durable with amazing sound, that will help make your workouts work for you.
After more than one year of research to understand what consumers want and need in a sports headphone, Sol Republic packed Relays Sport Wireless with features that solve the pain points known in the market: comfort, a secure fit, sweat and water resistance as well as long battery life. Sol Republic also added many new features like quick-charge functionality and dual audio modes for optimal sound both indoors and out, enabling Relays Sport Wireless to deliver an uncompromised experience.
"We are music lovers and we know that music plays a critical role when you exercise," said Kevin Lee, CEO and Co-Founder of SOL REPUBLIC. "Listening to a good song helps you maintain focus and work out harder. We don't want people to have to compromise comfort for quality of sound. We believe that the perfect combination of incredible sound, with a comfortable fit and ultra-durable design, will help motivate people to train harder and feel better."
To make the headphones feel weightless SOL REPUBLIC strategically placed the electronics and battery in ergonomic, water-resistant pods that sit naturally on the neck. The result is one of the lightest headphones in the market while also providing an extra-long 8+ hours of battery life - enough to power a week of workouts.
Relays Sport Wireless can be plugged in for a quick charge while you put on your workout clothes and pack your gym bag. A 10-minute charge is all that's needed to power 60-minutes of exercise.
Music sounds differently inside and outside and SOL REPUBLIC took this into consideration when designing Relays Sport Wireless. Switch seamlessly between indoor and outdoor audio settings for optimized sound quality during your workout. Don't let your environment ruin your audio experience.
Don't compromise your workout. Train Hard. Let the music power you.
SOL REPUBLIC RELAYS SPORT WIRELESS are available in Black and Mint in different reward packages starting at $74.00 exclusively on http://www.indiegogo.com.

Goldtouch Announces Push To Bring Mobile Ergonomics To Everyday Users

Goldtouch Announces Push To Bring Mobile Ergonomics To Everyday Users
CEDAR PARK, Texas, Oct. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Goldtouch, the industry leader in mobile ergonomics, announced a big new initiative today to bring their popular Go!2 Mobile Keyboard to everyday users. The company is offering a 15% discount on this innovative product through the end of the year.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151019/278452
The Go!2 Mobile Keyboard was designed from the ground up to help increasingly on-the-go, remote, and in-office workers enjoy a healthy working lifestyle no matter where they are in the world. Featuring the patented Goldtouch locking-lever system, the keyboard is fully adjustable, so that each typist can find the perfect angle for their body and typing style within 0-30 degrees of tenting and splay. The Go!2 Mobile Keyboard is light weight and folds in half for easy storage, making this the perfect solution for on-the-go health, comfort, and productivity.
When it was first brought to market in 2013, the Go!2 Mobile Keyboard quickly became a popular product amongst corporate managers and their employees. The keyboard helped to bring a new level of comfort to the workplace, while also reducing the amount of pain workers experienced on the job due to Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs) caused by clunky, flat keyboards that force and contribute to poor working habits. This continues to be a big competitive advantage for companies with global workforces, who often struggle to create reasonable standards, and comfortable conditions for all their workers who operate in variable conditions.
"We're excited today to bring that same kind of health and comfort innovation to all on-the-go workers, no matter where they work," said Mark Norwalk, CEO of Goldtouch. "Over the years, we've seen the proliferation of individual health products to help individuals track every aspect of their diet, exercise, sleep habits, heart-rates, and more. At Goldtouch, we believe those healthy habits and initiatives shouldn't stop at the office door. We've seen the Go!2 bring healthy working conditions to our many enterprise customers. With this current incentive, we're determined to get a keyboard that's been a 'best kept corporate secret' into the hands of individual workers around the globe."
According to OSHA, Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs) are the most common and costly occupational health issue, costing companies an estimated $20 billion dollars in workers' comp claims and lost productivity alone. These kinds of injuries will only grow more prolific as work becomes increasingly digitized and is performed on lightweight but small devices, like tablets, laptops and smartphones. The Go!2 mobile keyboard is the individual fit solution for all workers who prefer a smaller form factor, are often on the road, who work from home, or who have to squeeze work in between other lifestyle commitments.
Available in both wired and Bluetooth wireless versions, the Goldtouch Go!2 is as customizable in features as it is in fit. The wireless operates through Bluetooth 3.0 technology, which means it is compatible with a breadth of devices, including iPad, iPhone, tablets, smart phones, Ultrabooks and laptops. It also supports Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2000, and Mac 10.4 and above. Work on the road, and then switch smoothly to an at-home or in-office desktop.
The Go!2 Mobile Keyboard can be purchased through the Goldtouch online store or through any of our authorized resellers The 15% discount lasts through the end of the year.

Cordless is Key When Kristin Cavallari Balances Game Day
NFL Wife, Mother, Actress, Designer and Author Kristin Cavallari Gives Us a Glimpse of Her Balancing Act!
GLENWILLOW, Ohio, Oct. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- There are lots of questions on football game days. Are we going to win? Where are we watching the game? Will there be food and drinks? And how early can we start the party? Kristin Cavallari is a wife of an NFL player who knows the game day excitement all too well. When she isn't watching her hubby from the stands at Soldier Field, she is often the one playing host to her family and friends. With a busy lifestyle of balancing her work as a designer, actress, TV host, mother, wife and, now, author, time is limited. The family of Hoover® Cordless vacuums helps Kristin stay in front of every mess and focus on what's really important -- family, work and football! To check out the Hoover Cordless Family, visit http://www.Hoover.com.

It seems that most football fans follow the same cycle throughout the season: clean, host, clean, repeat. Hoover Cordless vacuums are the perfect solution to the full-house cleanup before guests arrive and for the quick pick-ups throughout the party. By cutting the cord, the Hoover Cordless Family has cut the hassle of plugging and unplugging a vacuum from room to room or having to pull out a large vacuum for one simple spill.
"For me, time is at a minimum with so much going on," Cavallari explains. "The Cordless line allows me to get through my quick blitz before guests arrive and get on with making my tasty-yet-healthy game day snacks!"
The Hoover Cordless Family has a vacuum for every surface of your home, including furniture, stairs, hardwood, tile and carpet. And the best part about it? The same battery works with all four products in the family. It's all the power you would expect from a Hoover without the hassle of a power cord. The ease of vacuuming with the Cordless line keeps the Cavallari household in front of every mess and lets everyone get back to what matters most.
It's difficult to wrap your head around how Cavallari stays organized, fit and on the ball with everything and still manages to pull off the game day party.
"It's all about meal preparation, staying ahead of schedules and keeping my home in order," she says.
Maintaining a healthy kitchen is also a priority to Cavallari and her family. Even on game day, she likes to put a healthy spin on her fan favorites. One of these is her Spinach Artichoke Dip that calls for coconut milk and leaves out the cheese -- it's a must-try! Along with meal prep, she is also sure to have resources on hand to manage the spills and messes that are bound to happen with two little boys and a houseful of guests. Stocking wipes for her countertops and keeping her Hoover Cordless vacuum within reach are among the ways she keeps things stress-free. All that's left is to pull off a win.

Hoover
TTI Floor Care is the largest floor care business in North America and includes three of the biggest names in floor care -- Hoover®, Dirt Devil® and Oreck®. Hoover was added to the robust portfolio in 2007 and is built on a rich history of innovation, providing reliable cleaning solutions to consumers through a comprehensive line of products for general and special-purpose vacuuming, including full-size uprights and canisters, deep cleaners and hard-floor cleaners and cordless cleaning solutions.
About Hoover®
For more than 100 years, Hoover® has designed powerful, easy-to-use products that clean your entire home from floor to ceiling, and even the very air you breathe. That's why we're a household icon and one of the most trusted brands in America -- Hoover®. Nobody does it like you(TM).
The Hoover story began in 1907. Murray Spangler, an inventor who worked nights as a janitor, had an asthma problem. He called upon his inventive creativity to find a solution to the dust that aggravated his asthma as he swept up at night.
Spangler gathered a tin soapbox, a fan, a sateen pillowcase and a broom handle, and assembled an odd-looking, cumbersome contraption that managed to pull the dust away from the air he breathed. He quickly realized that this "suction sweeper," as he called it, had enormous sales potential, and he began seeking financial backing.
W.H. "Boss" Hoover, owner of a leather goods manufacturing shop, bought the patent from Spangler in 1908, retained him as a partner and soon had six employees assembling six units a day in a corner of the leather goods shop.
"Boss" Hoover placed a small ad in the "Saturday Evening Post," offering 10 days' free use of a Hoover suction sweeper to anyone who wrote and requested it. Instead of sending the cleaner directly to the potential customer, he chose a reputable store in each city that customers could purchase from. He allowed store managers to keep any commission from a resulting sale, and then offered the store the opportunity to become a Hoover vacuum dealer. This laid the groundwork for a national dealer network that, to this day, remains an important channel of distribution for Hoover products.
Meanwhile, engineers were designing new and improved methods of cleaning carpet. One of their most noteworthy innovations was the beater bar, introduced in 1926, which was the basis for one of the most memorable advertising slogans in history: "It beats, as it sweeps, as it cleans."
Aided by strong suction, the metal bar gently tapped the carpet to loosen deeply embedded dirt, as a bristle brush rapidly swept dirt up and out of the carpet.
Since then, the beater bar has gone through many tweaks and refinements and is still utilized in most Hoover vacuum cleaners today. Countless other "firsts" have been developed by Hoover engineers over the years to give consumers the most innovative and convenient features available. These include the disposable paper bag, the vacuum cleaner headlight, the self-propelled feature and the side-mounted hose feature.
Today, Hoover is part of TTI Floor Care North America, headquartered in Glenwillow, Ohio. As a leader in the floor-care industry, Hoover manufactures quality, high-performance vacuum cleaners for home and commercial settings. Since 1908, consumers and businesses have trusted Hoover to provide reliable, innovative cleaning solutions. Hoover offers a comprehensive line of products for general and special-purpose vacuuming, including full-size uprights and canisters, deep cleaners and hard-floor cleaners.

SKOKIE, Ill., Oct. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For the first time, Rand McNally's new RV Tablet 80 brings together the capabilities of multiple devices for RVers all in one.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151016/277808
Designed and built for RV travel, the dashboard tablet brings together Rand McNally's advanced RV GPS navigation and trip planning with entertainment and information - plus extras like a built-in dash cam. The device also comes preloaded with a suite of unique travel apps from Rand McNally, and Wi-Fi connectivity, which provides access to the Android marketplace to check email, download entertainment, and catch up on social media when stopping along the way.
"Our goal was to provide RVers with a new device that will greatly enhance their road trips. So we combined our popular RV GPS with the functionality of an Android tablet and included tools and content just for RVers," said Rand McNally CEO Stephen Fletcher. "The result is a device that gives RVers navigation specific to their RV type, trip-planning help with thousands of RV-friendly parks, campsites, and points of interest - all while helping keep them connected on the road and off."
The RV Tablet 80 features an 8-inch screen to maximize viewing of detailed maps and navigation. Designed for use on and off the dashboard, the device has a handy magnetic mount that powers the tablet when connected and allows for easy removal. Off the mount, RVers can take a closer look at detailed trip content, send emails, watch movies, and interact with apps and games.
Inside the powered mount is a commercial-grade antenna that boosts the GPS signal reception for greater location accuracy, as well as a video-in port for back-up and rear-view cameras. The RV Tablet 80 also includes a forward-facing dash cam on the device for monitoring the road ahead.
Additional RV Tablet 80 features:
-- RV GPS -- RV-specific routing, trip tools, and all the resources of Rand
McNally's industry-leading RVND(TM) GPS devices: Good Sam Parks and
Campgrounds, and millions of points of interest; must-see destinations
recommended by Rand McNally editors; live weather, traffic, and fuel
prices along the route; split-screen junction view on highway

Getty Images and Electric Jukebox in Partnership to Bring the Ultimate Audiovisual Experience to the Living Room

Getty Images and Electric Jukebox in Partnership to Bring the Ultimate Audiovisual Experience to the Living Room
LONDON, October 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
- Electric Jukebox transforms your TV into a jukebox with millions of albums
- Getty Images visualisers to enhance ultimate music experience
- Curators include music icons Sheryl Crow and Robbie Williams
- Plug in Electric Jukebox and play in under 2 minutes
The Electric Jukebox Company and Getty Images today announce a partnership to bring a
unique hybrid audio visual experience to everyone's living room. Â The Electric Jukebox
offers a unique plug and play music streaming experience for the home giving access to
tens of millions of albums with no monthly subscription or registration requirement.
Simply plug Electric Jukebox into your television, connect to WiFi and instantly play
millions of albums, curated music channels and celebrity mixtapes in CD quality whilst
also watching thousands of beautiful visualisers from the extensive image archive of Getty
Images. The visualiser experience provides a subtle visual enhancement to the consumer's
music experience.
The Electric Jukebox makes streaming as easy as playing a CD or switching on the
radio.
Featuring all the benefits of a premium music streaming subscription service in a box
but without the need for a smartphone or a PC, user accounts, passwords, app downloads or
monthly credit card subscriptions, makes it incredibly simple to set up and use. Electric
Jukebox represents the first Internet of Things music appliance for the home, making
on-demand music streaming [http://www.electricjukebox.com ] accessible to everyone.
Electric Jukebox [http://www.electricjukebox.com ] comprises a dedicated stick which
plugs into the HDMI port of your TV and instantly turns your TV into a jukebox with
millions of songs to enjoy using WiFi. It also features a beautifully designed gesture
based controller with built-in microphone featuring voice control, making it easy to find
and play music [http://www.electricjukebox.com ] on your television. Designed to sit on
the coffee table and be used by all the family, it's the easiest and most enjoyable way to
listen to music at home. Â
Independent YouGov research* shows music streaming has failed to gain mass market
adoption. The most popular ways to listen to music at home are still radio (52%) and CDs
and Hifi (42%). Streaming hardware solutions like Sonos are used by only 6% of consumers
and more than 92% of consumers have yet to subscribe to any form of music streaming
service.
EJ Curators include Sheryl Crow, Robbie Williams, Stephen Fry and Alesha DixonÂ
To ensure maximum appeal, Electric Jukebox features exclusive mixtapes from some of
music's best loved artists and celebrated curators including British music icon Robbie
Williams, his wife Ayda Williams, nine-time Grammy award winner Sheryl Crow, English actor,
writer and comedian Stephen Fry and Britain's Got Talent judge singer songwriter Alesha
Dixon.
Sheryl Crow said; "I love Electric Jukebox because it brings people together.
Listening to music and sharing those experiences together is what life's all about. With
headphones and iPhones we've somehow lost all that. Electric Jukebox plugs into your TV
and turns it into a jukebox with all the music you want, played out loud in your home for
you to listen together. Simple, fun and no fuss."
YouGov reports the four things consumers want to see in order to migrate to streaming
are: improved ease of use, a lack of a monthly subscription, improved affordability and
easier set up. There is a clear global opportunity to offer consumers a simple and
engaging music streaming device.
Rob Lewis, CEO of Electric Jukebox Company commented:
"We are bringing music back into people's living rooms. Working with Getty Images we
are enhancing the ultimate music jukebox by giving consumers a beautifully crafted and
delightful visual accompaniment that enhances their audio pleasure. We are grateful to
Getty Images and the thousands of photographers who are responsible for this extraordinary
archive. It is also yet another reason not to huddle around a laptop or smartphone to play
music, or play old CDs and radio. Mass market streaming has finally become a reality
through the ultimate plug-and-play audiovisual experience."
"There used to be 200 million people buying CDs every month and many more buying CDs
occasionally. After ten years of streaming only 40 million have converted to streaming
subscription services because of complexity, set-up difficulty and because of the fear of
recurring credit card based subscriptions. The Electric Jukebox is the product for the
other 160 million music lovers out there who want to join the revolution but have been
waiting for something fun, stylish and easy to use".
Vince Bannon of Getty Images commented:
"We are really excited about the experience this partnership is providing Electric
Jukebox users. Getty Images has the world's most powerful and engaging imagery, which will
provide a rich visual fabric for a musical landscape to weave through - this really is the
ultimate music experience.
How it worksÂ
Electric Jukebox comes in two parts; a stick that you plug into the HDMI port of your
TV, and a beautifully designed motion sensitive controller with built-in microphone for
voice search, the Electric Jukebox Controller.
Once set up, the Electric Jukebox welcomes users with a homescreen featuring just
three icons; My Music, Discover and Search, each represented by a neon themed icon in the
shape of a heart, music note and magnifying glass. Designed to be as intuitive as possible,
and much more so than application based downloads, it is easy for the whole family to
explore and play music together from the comfort of the sofa.
The Getty Images audiovisual experience automatically presents itself to Electric
Jukebox users once they have selected music and have put the controller back onto the
coffee table.
Electric Jukebox is available to pre-order from http://www.electricjukebox.com for
UK RRP GBP179 US MSRP $229 (including a free 1 Year Premium Music Pass). Pre-orders will
benefit from our introductory offer of just GBP149 in the UK and $199 in the US. Electric
Jukebox will also be available on the high-street and in consumer's hands in time for
Christmas. All pricing includes a free 1 Year Music Pass worth GBP60 / $60.

Apple Watch Car Starter and Vehicle Management App Announced by Connect2Car
HOUSTON, Oct. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Connect2Car, an established leader in integrated automotive electronic solutions, today announced the debut of the Connect2Car Apple Watch application, which allows users to remotely find, start, and manage other critical safety aspects of their car.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtLWegaaMA0
"A vehicle key fob is a good candidate of what can be replaced with a wearable technology such as the Apple Watch as a digital key fob because the apple watch will save you the hassle of reaching out for your keys or phone to unlock the door.
Though there are some new vehicles, especially new electric cars integrating with wearable controls such as the Apple watch, there are really limited alternative options for someone with an existing vehicle to watch enable their ride," according to John Alo, the product manager.
Connect2Car provides the functionality of a traditional key fob and more via an Apple Watch interface with any of the Connect2Car aftermarket units, which start at $139 for a basic plug and play unit to $199 for more advanced units that require installation. Drivers can now start their car, lock and unlock doors right from their wrist. Other features include a car finder with a real time distance and map indicator, so users can find where the car is parked.
Other features include speed limit alerts to avoid over speeding, driving history, and car cross alert to be notified if a car crosses a preset boundary. Additionally, you get car security control, and vehicle alarm notifications if the car is being tampered with right from your wrist. The Connect2Car system has unlimited range because it uses cellular connectivity to communicate with your phone.
According to a company spokesperson, the Connect2Car Iphone, Ipad and Apple Watch application is available now in the App store. An Android version of the application is also available on the Play Store. You can learn more about the application at the companies website: http://www.connect2car.com .
