PREVERENGES, Switzerland, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Zicplay, a leading
manufacturer of audio and video products within the consumer
electronics market, unveils today EWOO, a groundbreaking new remote
control device dedicated to iPod users. At last, iPod and iTunes
users will be able to fully control their music and video libraries
around their home using the EWOO remote control.
The EWOO is supplied with a dock for the iPod, and a USB adapter to
control and browse iTunes on the computer. On EWOO's color TFT screen
users can explore their libraries as intuitively as with the iPod or
with iTunes.
Connect the EWOO dock to your audio-video equipment and take
advantage of the 2.4GHz technology to move around within a radius of
100ft (30 meters) while easily accessing all your music. You can now
browse your music while comfortably seated in your sofa.
Launching in early February, the EWOO will be iTunes ready (Apple's
leading multimedia software) thanks to an optional USB adaptor
connected to your PC or Mac to run and control iTunes through the
remote control.
Dan Mamane, CEO, Zicplay, comments, "Zicplay is now entering a new
era. EWOO demonstrates perfectly our commitment to turn Zicplay
products into the perfect interface between users and their digital
world."
Based on a unique design that creates a perfect osmosis between the
iPod and its accessory, the EWOO remote control integrates a Lithium
Polymere battery that provides 10 days power and has a record
breaking low weight of 60 grams. In addition, the dock offers every
connection audio fans demand from a Hi-Fi product: optical, analog,
and S-video output. It also recharges the iPod whilst docked onto.
Alexandre Colot, CTO, Zicplay, adds: "With the EWOO, Zicplay opens
new horizons for the multimedia realm and intends to introduce soon
further new products in line with this device. We are already working
on versions that will be compliant with other MP3 players. We would
like to place particular emphasis on the audio qualities of Zicplay
products and on the GUI."
The EWOO will be available at $129 (129 euro) during the first half
of February 2007 in the United States and Europe.
