2013/01/07

Las Vegas, NV – January 7, 2013 – Wahoo Fitness, the leader in iPhone powered cycling, running and fitness, will demo the Wahoo Fitness KICKR Power Trainer at CES 2013. Named aCES 2013 BEST OF INNOVATIONS award winner in the Health & Fitness category, the KICKR Power Trainer is the world’s first iPhone powered bike trainer. Wahoo’s KICKR allows cyclist and triathletes to set resistance, accurately measure power and complete App based workouts, all from their iPhone. The KICKR Power Trainer is being demoed this week at CES 2013 South Hall S2 Booth #26525.

Resistance adjustments are instant, making it easy to replicate everything from a flat or rolling hill course, to the coast down a hill after a hard climb. With a wheel off design and super flywheel, the iPhone connected bike trainer is engineered to produce an ultra-realistic road feel, equivalent to the inertia of an actual rider on the road. A direct power measurement at the hub provides consistent and lab accurate power readings for every grueling mile.

“We have created the ultimate indoor cycling experience and to be honored with the Best of Innovations award at this year’s CES is a credit to all the hard work in design and innovation from the Wahoo team,” says Chip Hawkins, CEO of Wahoo Fitness. “Cyclist and triathletes will be blown away by the feel of the KICKR. We spent a ton of time engineering the feel, fine tuning it for the most realistic ride we’ve ever experienced on an indoor bike trainer. With the wheel off design there is no need for calibration; the power is consistent and accurate every single time. The electronic resistance is driven by your iPhone or tablet during a ride, you can go from hammering up a 15% grade to coasting downhill, instantaneously”.

Wahoo Fitness has fully integrated the iPhone into all aspects of cycling fitness. With Wahoo’sBlue SC Speed & Cadence sensor for iPhone, the Blue HR Heart Rate Monitor for iPhone, theRFLKT Bike Computer for iPhone, Balance Smartphone Scale and the KICKR bike trainer, Wahoo users can now track and power their cycling with their iPhone at home, on the road, the trail and the trainer. Wahoo Fitness’ iPhone cycling system allows users to monitor all the vitals including power, speed, cadence, heart rate, pace, distance, location, course and more.

Wahoo Fitness KICKR Power Trainer features include:
• Adjust resistance via iPhone for structured rides or simulate real world courses using top cycling Apps including TrainerRoad and Kinomap Trainer.
• Wheel off design allows direct power measurement at the hub, providing the most accurate and consistent power measurement throughout every mile

Withings Announces Smart Body Analyzer

CES, News, Tech News

LAS VEGAS– January 6, 2013 – Withings, creators of the first Internet connected scale, announces today its Smart Body Analyzer- the first smart scale to monitor health and environment through heart rate measurement and air quality monitoring, in addition to rich weight analysis in order to achieve a healthier lifestyle. This breakthrough health-monitoring device awarded with a 2013 CES Innovation Award, combines wireless connectivity, over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, with unprecedented body analysis capabilities.

By simply stepping on the scale, the Smart Body Analyzer provides users with a quick and comprehensive health snapshot that shows highly accurate weight, body fat & heart rate readings. With the addition of heart rate measurement, users can monitor the evolution of their resting heart rate, a powerful indicator of their overall fitness level. The readings are then transmitted to the Withings Health Mate mobile application via the built-in internet connection. The results are stored and can be shared with a physician, dietician, support group or motivational team via Twitter or Facebook.

Designed to be placed in a user’s bedroom, the Smart Body Analyzer can also monitor the air quality of its surrounding environment through temperature and carbon dioxide (CO2) metering. Carbon dioxide is a gas formed by metabolic activity that builds up to excessive levels in confined spaces, like bedrooms, when an insufficient amount of fresh air is being delivered. High levels of CO2 can produce a variety of health effects that can affect sleep, like headaches, dizziness, restlessness, difficulty breathing, increased heart rate and sweating. By monitoring and managing indoor air quality, people can live and sleep in a healthier environment.

Withings CEO Cédric Hutchings said: “We’ve challenged ourselves to once again reinvent the smart scale, a segment we pioneered three years ago with our Wi-Fi Body Scale. We have added functionalities that have never been seen before on a home scale, which are both useful and necessary to living an overall healthy lifestyle.”

The advanced body analytic features of the Smart Body Analyzer are hidden within its high-end, aesthetically pleasing and sleek chassis. The scale’s main sensors and ITO-coated electrodes are designed to form a pattern on the scale that becomes the product’s unique aesthetic signature design.

Like other Withings scales, the Smart Body Analyzer features the company’s Position Control™ technology. This exceptional engineering achievement allows for best-in-class weighing accuracy due to the on-screen guidance for users to properly position their body on the scale.

Also, the Smart Body Analyzer is extremely easy to use and set up without the need of a personal computer as it pairs seamlessly with an iOS or Android device, over with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. All measurements are instantly recorded and synced with the Withings Health Mate iOS and/or Android apps.

The Withings Health Mate app is an open platform that aggregates measurements not only from Withings devices, but also third party sensors and apps. This gives users a synchronized at-a-glance dashboard of all their health data. A large number of compatible apps and services, such as LoseIt!, Runkeeper, DailyBurn, and MyFitnessPal can also retrieve data captured by the Smart Body Analyzer.

Key features of the Smart Body Analyzer include:

Position Control™ technology: best-in-class weighing technology to insure accuracy
Fat mass measurement: available in athlete and non-athlete modes
Heart rate measurement: this feature is for the first time introduced on a scale, and allows tracking of the resting heart rate while just stepping on a scale. Like all other measurements, heart rate readings are automatically transmitted and rendered on the Withings Health Mate mobile app
Air quality measurement: CO2 and temperature monitoring to better monitor and manage the bedroom air quality
Connectivity: Bluetooth, Bluetooth Smart and Wi-Fi for easy setup and hassle-free data upload
Unbeaten Battery life: four standard AAA alkaline batteries provide more than one year of daily measurements
The Smart Body Analyzer is slated for a Q1 2013 release date at a suggested retail price of $149.95. For more information, visit http://www.withings.com/bodyanalyzer/

CES, News, Peripherals News, Tech News

Hamburg – January 4, 2013 – ROCCAT will be showing its new product developments in gaming peripherals and software at CES in Las Vegas on January 8 – 11, 2013. Some of the ROCCAT highlights at this year’s show will include the brand’s first-ever mechanical keyboard and the first software project for the company from Hamburg, Germany – the Power-Grid app, which has now passed Beta testing. In addition, several ROCCAT products at CES are newly available to US gamers, including the gaming mice Kone XTD and Kone Pure along with the multicolor gaming
keyboard Isku FX.

ROCCAT founder and CEO, René Korte, on the significance of CES for the company: “We announced ROCCAT’s entrance to the American market here exactly 12 months ago. The feedback from gamers and media worldwide has been overwhelmingly positive and we’re here again to prove that ROCCAT sets the rules when it comes to gaming peripherals.”

ROCCAT™ Ryos – Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Series with unique per-key illumination

With Ryos, ROCCAT has succeeded in defining a new standard for mechanical gaming keyboards. The Ryos is the first gaming keyboard ever that features per-key lighting and up to two 32-bit ARM cortex processors. The keyboard can display key functions, macros and even health or mana bars thanks to this technology. The included SDK makes what’s possible limited only by the player’s imagination. 2 MB internal Flash storage makes the Ryos ultra responsive. The ROCCAT Ryos Keyboard Series comes with up to four different CHERRY MX key switches (black, brown, red, and blue). The release is planned for the first quarter of 2013. For more information, please view the teaser trailer.

ROCCAT™ Power-Grid – PC control via smartphone passes beta

The ROCCAT Power-Grid turns a smartphone into a fully customizable remote control for the PC. Users can set up different grids to control, for example custom settings for Windows, Skype, Media Player or games. The app provides pre-set grids for several games, e.g. Starcraft 2, Skyrim and League of Legends. But it also lets users set up their own grids that fit their individual needs. And not only does the Power-Grid control the PC – it works in reverse as well. The app can provide the user with additional information on his smartphone touchscreen. For instance, maps or high scores can be displayed. The user can call up the central news feeds from different hardware and gaming sites via the now standard integrated Media-Grid. ROCCAT has also completed the development of an accompanying SDK, which will provide developers with the opportunity to code unique features that benefits their users. One example is the integration of Born Ready Games’ long-awaited space shooter, “Strike Suite Zero”. At a glance, gamers will be able to see in-game statistics about their accuracy, the number of missiles fired, and much more. This information isn’t available anywhere else in the game, and it provides additional advantages to the user: if you increase your accuracy, for example, you’ll get more points.

New ROCCAT hardware for the American market

With the gaming mice ROCCAT Kone XTD and Kone Pure and the gaming keyboard
ROCCAT Isku FX, the gaming peripherals manufacturer from Hamburg is launching all of its new products onto the American market. Now US gamers can enjoy the latest ROCCAT hardware, too. ROCCAT will also be presenting these products again for interested visitors at the CES 2013 in LVH #2065.
