Charts and health records are a big issue." This year at International CES ® , Techslinger is showcasing a range of solutions for handling mobile devices that are larger than your pocket but too small to just slip into a messenger bag. "These include your phablets, your e- readers, your iPads," Crawford said. In addition to the TechSling, the company offers messenger bag-style slings that work well for students as well as for point-of-sale purposes, which would include restaurant servers as well as retail associates. Specifically for customer service, hos- pitality and the like Techslinger offers a model that includes a plastic cover to resist damage from wet hands or spillage as well as a model that doesn't have the plastic cover and presents a more upscale appearance. The last product of the line is known as the Sling Solo, which is a messenger-style rig that holds a tablet and phone on the same side. Popular with mass transit commuters, the design keeps all the tech together, so it's more protected from "Apple-pick- ing" theft in a crowded bus or train. "People steal them from backpacks and purses, but the Sling Solo keeps the technology close but hides it out of the way," Crawford said. Visit Techslinger in booth #6635.

The DNN992 improves upon last year's model with updated mapping software by Garmin™, parking guides for a connected rear-view camera, better source multitasking and the ability to wirelessly play smartphone-based audio and video using Kenwood's KCA-WL100 Miracast dongle. "Our goal with the DNN series has been to lead the industry in bringing connected services safely to the driv- er," said Tony Mercado, Marketing Manager for Kenwood. "Using our proprietary server, we can quickly deliver entertainment, communications and information to the DNN unit and employ the latest in voice, display and touch technology to let the driver inter- act while staying focused on the road." The DNN992 by Kenwood lever- ages the connected experience to pro- vide users with safe, intuitive delivery of Web-based information. In addition to standard features offered by an in- dash radio, the DNN992 uses its Wi-Fi connection or broadband access via connected smartphone to deliver next- generation drive-centric data. The built-in navigation system is bolstered with information from INRIX, includ- ing weather, dynamic traffic flow, fuel locations and pricing and local search for amenities. In addition, the DNN992 features direct-access apps to play Internet-based content from iHeartRadio™ and Aupeo. The DNN992 keeps users safely connected to email, social media con- tacts and scheduled appointments. Built-in browsers work with a user's Facebook, Twitter, Gmail and Google Calendar accounts, letting the user send and receive updates via voice. But connectivity doesn't apply only to Internet-based services. The double-DIN chassis with 7-inch capac- itive touch screen accommodates a multitude of internal and add-on media sources. Connect up to two cameras (front and rear) to aid in maneuvering, and avoid obstacles when backing up with on-screen parking lines. The DNN992 is also SiriusXM-Ready™ and connects to the latest SiriusXM SXV300 Connect Vehicle Tuner (sold separately, subscription required), giv- ing drivers access to SiriusXM ® con- tent via satellite. Built in HD Radio also gives the driver access to premi- um over-the-air content, and slots for CD/DVD and SD cards let them bring their own media to the vehicle. Dual USB ports enable direct connection of an iPod ® , iPhone ® or USB storage drive to play back and control selection of music. For a more immer- sive experience with the smartphone, the DNN992 includes an HDMI input that also sup- ports MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) technology to give the user access to, and interaction with, com- patible apps on select Android™ smartphones or the iPhone, such as Pandora ® and TuneIn Radio ® , through the multimedia receiver's screen. The HDMI/MHL connection also allows video content on the smartphone to play on the DNN992 or a connected rear-seat monitor. The DNN992 delivers a premium audio experience from any connected or inbuilt source. Its 13-band equalizer and digital signal processor balance sound to the driver's preference, and the Drive EQ+ function compensates for road noise by raising certain fre- quencies. Bluetooth functionality is infused with aptX, a sound processing technology that restores audio frequen- cies lost in the transmission of wireless audio. For system expansion, three sets of high-voltage, pre-amplified outputs can connect to external front, rear and subwoofer amplifiers. The DNN992 will ship in January with an MSRP of $1,400.
