• Easy to operate Key Lock System
• 20 Gauge steel construction
• 1.25" thick memory foam interior
• Compact size allows storage virtually anywhere
• Includes a 1,500 lb tested security cable

The Nano 100 is part of the Nano Series of products, and is the entry level of that series, with an MSRP of only $36.99.  The build quality is good as is the quality of materials used.  It is mostly made of 20 gauge steel with a black finish.  Fit and finish was also very good.  There is not a lot to it other than the steel used, and the locking mechanism.  The locking mechanism was also well made for the price.  Overall fit and finish was very good.  And this is just their entry level product.

Using the Nano 100 was very easy.  And it is quite versatile.  It can be used in the home, and bolted down with the included security cable.  It can also be used in your car and bolted down there as well.  I will admit that the included security cable is not very thick.  A large wire cutter would take care of it in short order.  But it's not designed for protection against a professional thief.  It does have a tight fit when it is locked, to guard against being pried open.  And as you can see it is big enough to hold a ipod, external hard drive or gps, and a little more.  Or a handgun and couple other small items.

All in all I would say the Nano 100 is a great product, especially for the price.  It doesn't do a whole lot, but it doesn't claim too either.  It gives a level of protection that can be very helpful in a small and portable package.  And for many, that is all that is needed.  Whether you are looking for something small and basic like the Nano 100, something fancier with Biometrics, or larger, GunVault has something for you.  For more info and complete specs, check out their website at www.gunvault.com

• Optional Management-Ready Drive by SafeConsole

Fountain Valley, CA – February 3, 2015 – Kingston Digital, Inc., the Flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced a pair of next-generation encrypted USB Flash drives designed to safeguard an organization’s valuable data. The DataTraveler^® 4000 Gen. 2 and DataTraveler 4000 Gen. 2 Management Ready protect sensitive information with high-level encryption.  

DataTraveler 4000 Gen. 2 is FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified so it provides a tamper-evident seal for physical security to detect and respond to attempts to access, use or modify the cryptographic module. Data is protected by hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption in XTS mode and the drive casing is made of titanium coated stainless steel. The drive is designed to reduce the possibility of successful brute force attacks as it locks down and reformats after 10 failed password attempts.

DataTraveler 4000 Gen. 2 Management Ready features the same security and features as DataTraveler 4000 Gen. 2 but also offers optional SafeConsole^®* management from BlockMaster^®. SafeConsole gives organizations powerful tools including the ability to remotely reset passwords, configure password and device policies and activate audit for compliance. DataTraveler 4000 Gen. 2 Management Ready gives companies the flexibility to initially deploy the drive as a stand-alone, secure device, and then have the option of adding a central management solution later.

Both drives offer USB 3.0 data transfer rates and are available in 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities. DataTraveler 4000 Gen. 2 and DataTraveler 4000 Gen. 2 Management Ready utilize industry-leading NAND and controller design that allows the NAND to be interchanged without requalification and certification. This allows enterprise companies to add the drives to their standards list with confidence.

FOSGATE PREMIUM AUDIO SYSTEM SHOWCASED IN ALL-NEW NISSAN TITAN® XD

Fosgate premium audio system

showcased in All-new NISSAN TITAN® xd

Unveiled at the 2015 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in

Detroit, the TITAN XD’s High-Performance Speaker Count Increases to

12 with Additional System-Wide Audio Electronics and Software Upgrades

TEMPE, Ariz. – Jan. 28, 2015 – Rockford Fosgate (www.rockfordfosgate.com), the industry leader in high-performance audio systems, today announced that it will supply audio system components to Nissan for the next-generation TITAN XD pickup, which was unveiled at the 2015 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). The 2016 TITAN XD will feature premium Rockford Fosgate speakers and increased system-wide audio electronics and software upgrades in selected models. Nissan has offered vehicles equipped with Rockford Fosgate premium sound systems since 1999.

“The next generation TITAN XD’s Rockford Fosgate audio system features 12 speakers, including dedicated tweeters to improve front imaging,” explained Dan Vandenbergh, Rockford Corporation Managing Director OEM. “The larger center channel speaker has been designed for more realistic rendering of vocals in their natural position on the soundstage, as well. We’ve also relocated and reconfigured the 8-inch subwoofer with higher efficiency, lower distortion, and more excursion for tighter, deeper bass with more of the PUNCH that gives music its energy.”

                                                                                                                                              Additional tuning capability in the amplifier’s software provides greater control over the system’s dynamics, distortion, and frequency response. “Our amplifier package for the TITAN XD continues to outperform competitors’ amplifiers with our dedicated discrete MOSFET subwoofer channel. This technology has been made famous by Rockford Fosgate during our more than 30 years as an aftermarket leader of high-performance audio systems, accurately bringing the dimensions of a live performance to the vehicle cockpit,” added Vandenbergh.

Nissan had three next generation TITAN XD trucks on display during NAIAS, all of which are equipped with Rockford Fosgate premium sound systems. Model year 2015 Nissan vehicles equipped with RF sound systems include JUKE, Frontier, Xterra, and current-generation Titan King Cab and Crew Cab.

Rockford Fosgate and Nissan have been partners for more than 15 years. During this time, according to Rockford Fosgate, Nissan’s audio system packages have been designed specifically so that Nissan can offer its customers the best sonic performance the market has to offer.

KEYMOUSE™ RE-INVENTS THE KEYBOARD AND MOUSE

KEYMOUSE™ RE-INVENTS THE KEYBOARD AND MOUSE
Keyboard/Mouse Hybrid Rapidly Drawing Attention as Kickstarter “Staff Pick”


LAS VEGAS, Nevada — January 19, 2015 — ZZ, Inc., a developer of industry-leading technology solutions, unveiled its prototype KeyMouse™, which combines a keyboard and mouse in a more efficient and ergonomic design, to enthusiastic crowds last week at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2015.

The innovative new hybrid input device has been rapidly generating interest on Kickstarter since its debut on the crowdfunding site as a “Staff Pick” earlier this month.

A KeyMouse set includes a right-hand unit and a left-hand unit with a QWERTY (or alternative) keyboard split in half over the two devices.

“As a software developer, I write a lot of code, and I’ve grown tired of all the time wasted by constantly moving my hand back and forth between my conventional keyboard and mouse,” said ZZ, Inc. founder and CEO Heber Allred. “By creating the KeyMouse, we’ve eliminated the inefficiencies that result from the keyboard and mouse being separate devices as well as making it much more ergonomic. Now, with a KeyMouse in each hand, everyone who uses a computer can keep their hands in typing position even while moving the mouse, because their hands never leave the keyboard.  It’s great for gaming, CAD design, software development, order entry, transcribing, and many other uses at the computer.”

Each handset is equipped with a laser mouse sensor to allow users to operate the mouse functions with either the right or left unit.  The other laser sensor can be configured for specialized functions such as rotating 3D models, scrolling, panning, zooming, and other application specific uses.

“Combining keyboard and mouse functionalities is the logical evolution of input devices for the 21st century,” Allred added. “People will love the comfort and efficiency of the KeyMouse in everyday use.”

Among the innovative features the company intends to incorporate in its KeyMouse are customization options such as programmable key layouts, which will allow owners to run macros and override pre-programmed functions that enable control over music playback, browser navigation, and other common operations.

With the product now in its final stages of development, ZZ, Inc. projects that its Windows- and Mac OS-compliant, Bluetooth 3.0-equipped KeyMouse will be available for purchase at a retail price of $299.00 before the end of 2015, with the first 500 sets available on a limited basis to early Kickstarter backers for just $249.00.

“We couldn’t be more excited about our KeyMouse, especially after the reception we got at CES,” said James Allred, ZZ, Inc.’s director of marketing. “We’re working with other industry leaders—including a world-class design and engineering firm in California to make KeyMouse a best-in-class product that redefines the market.”

Additional information about the KeyMouse, including feature sets, photographs, and a link to the product’s Kickstarter page—which as of today showed that the company is more than a third of the way to its goal of raising $100,000 in funding by January 31, 2015— is available at www.keymouse.com.

About ZZ, Inc.
ZZ, Inc. is a privately held company based in Las Vegas, Nevada that is focused on creating industry-leading solutions to make the lives of its customers easier, happier, and more successful.

DELSEY PRESENTS IoT PROTOTYPE: PLUGGAGE

Travelers are invited to vote online for their favorite features!

Paris, FRANCE –

World-recognized designer and travel reference since 1946, iconic French brand DELSEY invents bold, ingenious luggage that combines design and innovation. Today, after two years of research and development, the world’s second largest luggage brand presents its first connected concept bag: Pluggage - and invites people to vote for their favorite features via a dedicated online site: www.delseypluggage.com.

 

Interconnected travelers seek tranquillity and simplicity

 

New developments in IoT have revolutionized mobility and created new and exciting products. For travelers, these changes result in more ways to be assisted on their journeys, to be informed in real time about their modes of transportation, and to access new services to simplify their travel and ensure peace of mind.

 

Pluggage makes life easier for ultra-connected travelers

 

Responding to the inherent requirements of a new travel lifestyle and to simplifying each journey, DELSEY proposes an enriched travel experience with the Pluggage connected bag prototype.  The brand considers the consumer at the heart of its design and innovation and wanted to meet all the expectations of ultra-connected travelers during their trips - autonomy, connectivity and security. 

 

With Pluggage, DELSEY is the first and only French company specializing in the design and manufacture of luggage that offers a 2.0 travel experience.

 

After two years of R&D, DELSEY reveals its latest innovation

 

From December 2014 to March 2015, travelers can watch a video created by TBWA Paris and discover the first DELSEY IoT concept bag: www.delseypluggage.com.

 

"Who hasn’t dreamed of being able to charge their phone at any time without fighting for available power points in the departure lounge? Who hasn’t taken a plane without worrying whether their case is on board? Just like the first rigid trolley suitcase with wheels, that DELSEY launched in 1972 which simplified the lives of travelers walking the corridors of stations and airports, Pluggage will make life easier for the ultra-connected," says Albert Engler, head designer at DELSEY .

 

 

Before departure, the overload indicator helps avoid nasty surprises relating to overweight baggage at the point of check-in and a trip checklist ensures peace of mind that nothing has been forgotten.

 

During the trip, the built in charger allows you to recharge your smartphone anywhere, to stay in touch with your work, friends and family.

 

Once on board, the App confirms the presence of your luggage on board the plane with an alert - a "must have" feature when you consider that 82,000 bags are lost each day, 26 million pieces of luggages worldwide per year.

 

Upon arrival, the verification system tells the traveler if the luggage was opened while in transit, improving safety and resulting in a calmer journey.

 

On site, the built-in speakers allow the traveler to listen to their favorite music, for ultimate comfort and enjoyment.

 

Through the App, Pluggage is also able to inform travelers in real time of flight information and weather conditions at destination. Finally, Pluggage has an interior lighting system for finding personal belonging swiftly, and an opening and closing digital fingerprint system.

 

Internet users round the world are invited to design the bag of the future

 

Through the dedicated website: www.delseypluggage.com, users can vote for their favorite among ten proposed DELSEY features.

 

The voters will be the first to discover the exclusive features that will appeal to the wider public.

 

The 10 Pluggage features:

1. Auto weight

2. Instant battery reload

3. On-board detection

4. Inside lighting system

5. Flight information

6. Fingerprint ID

7. Check lock

8. Weather forecast

9. Inside speaker

10. Trip information

 

"Pluggage is the culmination of two years’ hard work. At DELSEY, we always dare to go further to make a real improvement beyond the bag itself.  We use avant-garde innovation to realize our sole objective which is to meet the needs of consumers. As a world leader in design and innovation in travel, it is important for us to know the preferences of users and travelers around the world," says Catherine De Bleeker, marketing director at DELSEY.

at CES 2015

Designed for Variety of Mobile Applications, New Rugged Gladius 10 Device Has HD Multi-Touch Screen, Multiple Connectivities, and Up to 10 Hours of Optimized Battery Life

San Jose, CA – January 2, 2015 – Arbor Solution announces the introduction of the latest model in its growing line of rugged Android tablets: the Gladius 10. The device features a large 10.1” TFT HD LCD display, an Octa-core Cortex™A7 processor, assorted connections to stay in touch in today’s highly mobile world, and a barcode scanner. The rugged unit works perfectly in applications such as warehousing, transportation, medical, and mobile point of sale (mPOS). It will be available nationwide and in Canada May 2015.

Editor Note:The Gladius 10 will be demoed at Pepcom’s Digital Experience! during International CES, January 5, 2015 from 7 p.m. – 10:30 p.m. at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas.

“Mobile technology is quickly changing the way work and business is conducted today,” said Brian Yurkiw, Arbor Solution vice president. “The key to success, along with a smaller design and advanced features, is durability and connectivity. Our new Gladius 10 rugged tablet is especially designed to withstand drops, vibrations, dirt, and water and can operate across a very wide temperature range. In other words, it is durable and ready for whatever it encounters in a mobile work application.”

Durability Factor

The Gladius 10 is a rugged and durable tablet for many applications. The proof is in its MIL-STD-810G and IP-65 certifications, four-foot drop resistance, raised bezel for LCD impact protection, and hinged rubber covers over the I/O ports. The unit will operate in temperatures ranging from 32°F to 113°F, and may be stored in areas where the temperature is between -14°F and 140°F.

Large LCD Display with Enhanced Scratch Resistance

The rugged Gladius 10 tablet has a large, easy-to-view 10.1” TFT color LCD with 1280 x 800 HD resolution and a projected capacitive 5 point multi-touchscreen. Exceptionally thin, damage-resistant Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3 coating is applied to the screen for enhanced scratch resistance, reduced scratch visibility, and better retained strength once a scratch occurs. Sunlight readable with optical bonding and a high intensity backlight is available, when direct sunlight or high ambient-light conditions are a factor.

Staying Connected

The Gladius 10 keeps workers connected with features such as:

·      Integrated GSM WWAN, WiFi and Class 1 Bluetooth digital connections that aid the sharing of information while keeping workers in touch

·      Micro-USB, micro-SD card slot, and mini-HDMI port as well as two SIM card slots extend its versatility

Performance Driven

The new Arbor Solution Gladius 10 provides plenty of performance as it incorporates a power-efficient MediaTek MTK8392 Octa-core Cortex™ A7 CPU and a Quad-core ARM Mali 3D GPU for high- performance, energy-efficient graphics.

·      Built-in microphone and speaker
