Celio Corporation’s REDFLY Smartphone Interface System Selected as CES Innovations 2008 Design and Engineering Award Honoree
—New company and mobile computing system to premiere at CES event in January 2008-
-Celio Corp. (www.celiocorp.com), an innovator of seamless and efficient mobile solutions for the smartphone market, has received the CES Innovations 2008 Award in the category of Enabling Technologies in New York City today. Today’s award is the first public appearance of this new mobile computing architecture. Celio Corp will formally unveil the REDFLY Smartphone Interface System at the CES trade show in Las Vegas in January, 2008.
Celio Corp will provide further information about the new interface system and its first product implementation later this year. Officials have disclosed that the initial product will use REDFLY technology to wirelessly extend Windows Mobile smartphones to a portable device with larger display, keyboard, mouse and USB ports for easy use of smartphone e-mail, attachments, web and business applications. The REDFLY system operates via a direct interface connection and thus eliminates the need for synchronization or development of applications on another platform - any application running on the smartphone can be reflected on the REDFLY enabled larger display.
“The technology in the REDFLY Smartphone Interface System is a true innovation,” said Bill Hughes, Principal Analyst for Scottsdale, Ariz.-based research firm In-Stat. “Unlike earlier mobile solutions, the REDFLY system extends the actual interface of the smartphone to a larger display, keyboard and mouse as well as USB and VGA ports. The small keyboard and screen are the issues most commonly cited by respondents within In-Stat surveys as the primary obstacles to further use of smartphones. This is a technology with the potential to revolutionize the way users view and utilize smartphones today.”
“We strongly believe the concept of mobile computing has the potential to move well beyond its current limitations,” said Kirt Bailey, president and CEO of Celio Corp. “Receiving the CES Innovations Award is a tremendous honor; furthermore, receiving this acknowledgement even prior to the formal launch of the initial product is a true validation of the future we see.”
