I get a lot of press releases that are talking about some new product or service. Mostly these are from a PR agency and they have that “PR spin” to them, if you know what I mean. However, even in the midst of that PR spin, there are some really good announcements that I thought you would enjoy. So, I’m setting up this page to copy what I get and let you read what you might find interesting. If you like it, great. If not, no problem (hey the cost is pretty resaonable, huh?).
Let me know if you have any further comments. You could also contact the company directly. I’m sure they would not mind people looking to know more about their products or services and purchase them.

SuperTalent 2nd Gen DuraDriveTM SSD now available in SATA II
Performance & Durability for Mission Critical Applications
San Jose, California – January 5, 2011 – Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of Flash storage solutions and DRAM memory modules, today announced a SATA version of their new DuraDrive series SSDs.
Right on heels of our resent announcement of ZIF and PATA interfaces, the new DuraDrive AT2 now completes this family line by offering the same industrial grade durability, reliability and performance with the SATA II interface. The DuraDrive was designed for use in environments considered “too harsh” for a standard drive.
The DuraDrive series utilized Solid State Disk technology, meaning it performs faster, use less power, offers greater reliability, shock and vibration than their HDD counterparts. By carefully selecting the finest components available, including an advanced industrial controller and premium NAND flash, we are able to further enhance the temperature specifications making the DuraDrive ideal for mission critical and embedded applications.
The DuraDrive line also has optional support for the Secure Erase features required for many Military and Industrial applications. With ECC/EDC support, bad bit management firmware and patented wear leveling technology, this drive offers extreme reliability and endurance; even in the most demanding of environments (-40oC to 85oC ).
“The new DuraDrive Series demonstrates Super Talent’s commitment to the Industrial, Embedded and Military markets. While other manufactures are focused on large volume products for the masses, SuperTalent is focused on designing products for customers who are looking for more. SuperTalent is making durable industrial spec built – to order products. Supporting SLC and Secure Erase options for our most trusted customers”., said Super Talent COO, CH Lee.
Twice as fast as its previous versions, our new DuraDrive line of SSD’s reach impressive sequential R/W speeds of 125, 110 MB/s respectively. DuraDrive SSD’s enhanced reliability is ideal for industries associated with, but no limited too; the Medical industry, Casino gaming, Enterprise computing, Gaming, or embedded industrial systems.
Utilizing the industry standard 2.5-inch form factor and industry standard SATA II interface, the DuraDrive ET2 is 100% interchangeable with conventional 2.5-inch SATA hard drives.
The DuraDrive AT2 is now shipping!
The following options are available on the DuraDrive series:

Press Release
New York, NY, 01/04/11
DORO CONTINUES TO GAIN MOMENTUM AMONGST THE BABY BOOMERS IN NORTH AMERICA
Design Award-Winning Mobile Phone will be Showcased at CES 2011
Doro, the global leader in designing smart, easy-to-use, stylish phones for baby boomers and active seniors is exhibiting their senior-friendly product line at the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), January 6 – 9, 2011 located at the Las Vegas Convention Center North Hall in Booth #3007. Jerome Arnaud, CEO of Doro, is participating in the Living in Digital Times Press Conference on Thursday, January 6 located in room S227 (South Hall) at 2:00 p.m. PST.
The conference is a platform designed to create dialogue between companies and key consumer demographics such as the baby boomers and active seniors. Doro is among the growing ranks of companies focused on designing technologies for seniors.
“In 2010, the company conducted a survey with Synovate in the US. The research indicated that the penetration rate of mobile phones for persons above the age of 65 was below 75% and that 35% of the same population was intimidated or uncomfortable with new technology. Doro’s ambition is to increase the mobile penetration among elderly with products which are not appearing as too technically complex. The brand is well-established and has become a benchmark in this niche area of telecommunication. Since 2008, we have experienced tremendous success in North America and we are looking forward to continue this in 2011 and beyond. Doro is well positioned with its key demographic and with leading international operators,” commented Jerome Arnaud, CEO of Doro.
Doro arrived to the U.S. in 2008 with ergonomically designed, stylish mobile phones launched by Centennial Wireless to answer the call of the growing population of baby boomers accustomed to mobile phones as part of their lives. In 2009, Doro released two mobile devices, Doro PhoneEasy® 410gsm and Doro PhoneEasy ® 345 gsm, in the US market in partnership with Consumer Cellular, the exclusive wireless provider for AARP’s nearly 40 million members.
“Consumer Cellular has been thrilled with our Doro partnership, which allows us to provide our customers with enlarged button handsets that have easy to read display text,” said John Marick, Consumer Cellular CEO. “Doro fits perfectly into Consumer Cellular’s mission to partner with leading innovators that can help empower our customers to lead independent, mobile lifestyles with easy-to-use devices and affordable calling plans.”
In 2010 Doro expanded into Canada and launched the Doro PhoneEasy® 410gsm with Rogers Communications Inc.
“I am very satisfied with the presence of our phone in Rogers’ retail stores. This presence in stores combined with smart marketing initiatives is building a success in Canada” continued Jerome Arnaud.
Doro’s Care products have received some of the world’s most prestigious international prizes during the last years, including IF-award, Janus Award, IDEA, BIO 21 and Stevie Wonder’s Wonder Vision Award.
The company Care division has been growing by more than 80% in the first 9 months of 2010.

48 Inch TV 3D with no glasses required??? Sounds amazing!
Collaboration between supplier and technology provider produces first ever large-screen 3D monitor that does not require glasses.
Las Vegas, Nevada – 7 Elephants Corp., leading supplier of innovative electronics, green devices and accessories to resellers nationwide, announced today that it would feature the first ever “no glasses required” 48-inch 3D monitor in its North Hall booth at the Consumer Electronics Show. CES is being held January 6-9 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas. 7 Elephants is at Booth # 718 in the North Hall, and at Booth 32016 in the South Hall.
7 Elephants has joined forces with Las Vegas-based My3D Group to market the 48-inch monitor, which is a progression from the company’s current line of smaller “no glasses” 3D monitors for portable and personal applications. My3DGroup specializes in providing technology solutions that create or generate 3D content and enable viewing by consumers, regardless of the monitors and other devices they currently use.
Our goal is to bring 3D to everyone,” said Robert Cohen, My3D Group founder and president. “We believe that we can do this by addressing customers at three different stages: those that do not currently have—nor desire to buy—3D-enabled equipment; those who currently own 3D viewing equipment; and early adopters who seek to buy the latest and greatest.”
Robert Cohen celebrates a background of product development and marketing combined with a passion for art and design. For the past 35 years, Cohen has created concepts and designed products for leading automotive manufacturers, watercraft builders and independent applications. In 1993, Cohen dedicated his talents to designing and creating state-of-the-art 3D camera equipment, as well as monitors that enable natural 3D viewing and devices that allow 2D content to be viewed in 3D format.
Utilizing both hardware and software solutions, Cohen has put together a product line that encompasses a full suite of 3D solutions for every level of distribution and use, from private-label programs to end users. The “My3DG Injected” slogan is given to vendors that incorporate the company’s 3D technology into their source or playback devices. All of My3D Group’s products and services are viewable at the company’s Website, my3dg.com.
“7 Elephants is very proud to be the first to showcase this groundbreaking technology,” said Ashkan Tabibnia, principal. “For 17 years, we have prided ourselves on bringing innovative products to market. They are not always the most expensive, but we conduct extensive market research to ensure that our products provide the ultimate in satisfaction with their eventual owners. My3D Group has a passion for the technology they represented, and it manifests in what they will be producing at CES: a 3D experience with no accessories required.”
Visitors may come by the booth to experience the new 3D technology during show hours, where Whitney Jene Harchanko, 7 Elephant’s spokesmodel, will be on hand to answer questions. A 24-inch version of the 3D monitor is on display in the South Hall booth. In addition, 7 Elephants is showing new car audio, video and electronics products from its 5 lines: Konaki Audio, Konaki Digital, Yoshima, Konaki Green and MD Sound.
