4 W e d n e sd a y, Ja n u a ry 8 , 2 0 1 4 C o n su m e r Ele c tro n ic D a ily N e ws PHONE, TABLET ACCESS IS EASY WITH HANGATABLET By Jean Jacobson, Vice President, Hangatablet, LLC When the tablet became a commercially available product, my husband and I, as engineers and computer people, were very excited! We wanted to use the tablet in cars that we rented and in any part of the world where we planned to go. Navigation software was already available at that time and could be purchased to use on the tablet. We knew exactly what we needed to hold our tablet properly in the cars, and boy were we surprised that as hard as we looked, we could not find anything to do what we wanted. Being eager to enjoy all of the functions that the tablet offered us, we designed and built our first metal prototype holder and applied for a patent. Since those early days, we have obtained our patent and our prototypes are now made from plastic parts that are 3D-printed. The product line has expanded to include a second product: this time, for phones. The two products available are the Hangatablet for tablets, mini tablets and e-readers, and the Hangaphone for telephones, mini tablets and e-readers. These holders are easily and quickly moveable and adjustable, so you can size them to fit any tablet, telephone or e-reader. You also can adjust them so they can be in portrait or landscape mode. Your one holder can basically be used anywhere – not only in your car or a rental car, but in the home, in your RV and/or its towed vehicle, trucks, airplanes and outdoors. Passengers in the front seat or back seat of a vehicle can use one as well. Your devices easily slip in and out of the holders wherever they are, and if you use the holder in a car it will not block your field of vision. To sit your mobile devices on a flat surface, we provide a three-position stand for the Hangatablet, and the Hangaphone frame stands on its own. Wherever you use our holder, especially in a vehicle, it is great to know where your phone is when it rings. No more fumbling and looking in your pocket or purse or all around the vehicle for it. LIQUIPEL TEAMS UP WITH PHARRELL WILLIAMS Since making a big splash at CES 2012, Liquipel has rapidly expanded its presence into countries around the world. It also has made inroads into the American arts and entertainment universe. At last year's Consumer Electronics Show, the Santa Ana, Calif., company announced its partnership with entrepreneur Pharrell Williams, in conjunction with William Morris Endeavor (WME), to cross-promote each other's brands and lines of business. Grammy award-winning singer/songwriter/producer Pharrell Williams has made history for being one of the most successful and prolific artists to emerge during the last decade. As half of the beat- making duo The Neptunes with Chad Hugo, and the alternative rock trio N.E.R.D. with Chad and childhood friend Shae Haley, Williams has helped A-list pop stars sell millions of albums and even earned Grammy awards for the likes of Justin Timberlake, Nelly and Usher. William's unique style and creative aesthetic has been a force in several successful businesses outside the world of music. These include founding the popular clothing brands Billionaire Boys Club and ICE CREAM, as well as designing limited edition jewelry and accessories for Louis Vuitton. Williams recently published his best-selling book, "Pharrell: Places and Spaces I've Been," GO LIKE A PRO AND SAVE WITH MONOPRICE ACTION CAM Whether you're speeding down the ski slopes, tearing around a race track, racing down the bike trail or exploring 100 feet below the ocean waves, you can go like a pro with Monoprice new MHD Sport Wifi Action Camera ($178, Product ID No. 10629).

Oser CEO and Editor-in-Chief The same goes for the tablet – you know exactly where it is. With the new laws that many states have, they do not want you holding the phone in your hand. The Hangatablet and the Hangaphone solves that problem. Whether you want your holder and device in front of the dashboard radio one day and somewhere else another day – perhaps to the left of the steering wheel – you have that flexibility. There is always a place where your phone belongs, other than your hand. Come see us and this terrific holder at booth 73303 in Eureka Park. PS: I keep one in my suitcase!
