iofy corporation is announcing its next generation iofy audiobook player, a next generation device that incorporates powerful technologies such as audio navigation and search, upgradable firmware and new battery-free operation at home or in the car (when purchased with the iofy Home or Travel Packs).
iofy will be demonstrating the new player at the American Library Association Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia between January 11th and January 14th. A limited number of players will be given away at Booth #1839, where iofy is exhibiting, courtesy Ingram Digital Group.
"We're excited about releasing this new, more powerful audiobook player," said Peter Nalle, CEO of iofy corporation. "People loved the first player, and the new player is both easier to use and much more powerful."
Audiobook Player Has Unique Features
As with the original player made by iofy, the new player has no display, relying on a sophisticated audio navigation solution that makes it easy to listen and navigate through an audiobook. The player can be upgraded for new features by simply plugging the player into a PC or Macintosh, and connecting to the Internet. Future upgrades include support for MP3-CD audiobooks, music and podcast support.
Each Audiobook Title Plays Everywhere
The iofy Player plays iofy audiobook chips that can be purchased either as a pre-loaded chip or as a download from reseller and partner websites. The chips also work with Apple iPods, Microsoft PlaysForSure devices, desktop and laptop computers running Microsoft Windows or Apple Mac OS X, Palm and Microsoft Pocket PC handheld PDAs, and Treo and Windows Mobile smartphones.
All iofy products comply with the "Audiobook Compatible" CEA-2003 standard established by the Audio Publishers Association and the Consumer Electronics Association.
Resellers, publishers and owners of audio content interested in reselling the iofy Player, and using iofy's spoken audio services can find more information at iofy services.
