Priced starting at $199, the iBike Dash CC creates an entirely new category of interactive cycling devices, enhancing the cycling experience in a much more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before to help you finally keep that New Year’s resolution to get in shape!

Includes Free iPhone/iPod touch Bike App with Easy-to-Read High-Res Color Graphics & Animation

Easy to install, the compact (3.2 oz) iBike Dash CC takes your biking from leisure to fitness, helping you quickly reach your goals by measuring your speed, power, heart rate, wind speed, time, trip, elevation, and calories to become healthier and fitter. The iBike Dash CC includes a free iBike app available from the iTunes App Store at: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ibike/id369550718?mt=8, which features customizable tools, from simple speedometers to work-out programs.

Dispels “No Pain, No Gain” Myth – “HR Pacing Meter” Tells Boundaries – Critical for Safe Training

Intelligent biking is all about sustaining your energy, so that you have more than enough left for the last few miles. Forget the “no pain, no gain” myth, the iBike Dash CC tells you how hard is too hard. Riding within your boundaries is critical for safe training, and with the iBike Dash CC’s “HR Pacing Meter,” you can see at a glance whether your heart rate in the right zone. The HR Pacing Meter determines your fitness level with 5 Heart Rate Color Zones from 50% to 100%. These zones indicate the degree of difficulty you will experience when cycling in each zone at your fitness level: from Blue (very light) to Red (very hard). Each of the zones address different goals, from losing weight in the bottom zones to improving fitness in the middle zones, to maximizing performance in the top zones. After regular exercise, you’ll find you’re able to exercise more comfortably in the upper zones and for longer times in the lower zones.

Use Optimal Cycling Effort to Burn Fat

Beyerdynamic introduces foldable headphone with sophisticated sound - perfect for tablet PCs and other mobile players

Farmingdale, NY February 2011: Enjoy movies while travelling - no problem with video apps on a tablet PC such as the iPad. Listening to music, no matter if you are on a train or in a hotel room, has become as natural as phoning or working while you are on the move.

The new DTX 300p from the audio specialist beyerdynamic in Heilbronn is a perfect solution. As a supra-aural headphone, it sits comfortably on the ear with its soft cushions and provides enough membrane area to give the soundtracks of Hollywood blockbusters the necessary emphasis.

The closed design shields against disturbing ambient noise and the listener can concentrate on the audio or video material.

In addition to its acoustic qualities the DTX 300p has more to offer. It practically kills two birds with one stone: Due to stable joints of the stainless steel headband, the headphone can be folded and stored in the supplied soft case. When travelling the headphone is always ready for use. After all, the movie fan wants to know how the story goes on.

Beginning mid March 2011, the DTX 300p will be available in two stylish colour variations, white with grey and black with red anodized aluminium ring. Suggested retail price is $59.
