ZOMM also comes with a standard micro USB wall charger, a micro USB charger that connects with any computer (for updates and activation) and optional clips for ease of use. With call notification, ZOMM will vibrate, flash lights and provide a sound alert for incoming calls when your mobile phone is out of sight; in a purse, gym bag or in a noisy environment. Similar in diameter to a poker chip, ZOMM features a single button for ease of use, LED lights for visual notifications, a microphone for two-way communications and a speaker for audible alerts including full speakerphone functionality. One of the most common accessories a person carries is the cell phone. No word on pricing. It fits comfortably in your pocket or purse and can even attach to a piece of clothing or workout gear. As a wireless leash to your mobile phone, ZOMM sends an alert if you ever accidentally leave your mobile phone behind. They come in such miniature designs these days, that keeping track of them sometimes can be a little difficult.
To send to voice mail, just press the multifunction button twice. With its speakerphone capabilities, you can speak to emergency personnel without ever touching your mobile phone. After you’ve paired ZOMM with your mobile phone, you can attach ZOMM to yourself or your key chain, and as soon as you stray too far from the phone, it will start to vibrate and eventually sound the alarm. Mobile phones are packed full of personal information and confidential business communication, so losing one is a nightmare for most people,” said Henry Penix, co-founder of ZOMM. ZOMM will be available for retail in the second quarter of 2010, in both black and white color options. In addition to purchasing phone insurance, ZOMM is offering a device that is much more affordable and practical. Cell Phones and Smart phones aren’t cheap either. To answer a call just press a button and ZOMM is a fully functioning speakerphone.
ZOMM can also be programmed to call the local emergency number, from anywhere in the world, when you press its panic button. ZOMM is smaller than a normal electronic car key and easily attaches to a key ring. ZOMM is a device that not only keeps your mobile phone secure, but also helps keep you and your family safe,” said Laurie Penix, ZOMM’s co-founder. As a personal security device, ZOMM will sound a panic alarm and/or call for emergency assistance from anywhere in the world with just one press of a button. If you ever lose it and don’t have phone Insurance, you know that a replacement is outrageously priced…like in the $500 range. It uses a lithium-ion battery with a single charge lasting approximately three days. Zomm also doubles as a speakerphone. You may have paid $49 for yours with a 2-year contract, but ladies and gentlemen, that is a subsidy provided by the handset manufacturer, enticing you to get their phone and the service from their preferred carrier.
The Zomm is an ingenious device that keeps you from parting with your cellphone, no matter how forgetful you are. It certainly is no surprised that they can get lost. My wife originally thought of ZOMM to prevent our family from leaving our phones at restaurants or coffee shops.
