All that you need to do is to place your mobile device on the speaker in order to connect, and to disconnect, remove it.

Apart from delivering a quick music-listening solution, the audio+ would also function as an inexpensive alternative conferencing solution for both offices and board rooms. It will be different from traditional conferencing solutions, since the audio+ would pave the way for instant connectivity and best of all is, your wallet will not feel the pinch since it would arrive with a sub-$50 price point.

Favi Pico+ Projector with Miracast and Airplay Wireless display

favi-picoPico projectors did seem as though they were going to be the next big thing in the world of consumer electronics, but apparently, that was not the case. I guess you can more or less lump pico projectors with the likes of the netbook, although the netbook has already been dead and buried for quite some time now, while pico projectors occupy an extremely niche market. Favi Entertainment has no qualms about releasing another pico projector into the fray, although to make sure that their offering stands out from the crowd, it will come with additional features that would not be normally found on a standard issue model. We are looking at the Favi WiFi-enabled Pico+ Projector with Miracast and Airplay Wireless display, where it would enable users to wirelessly share their mobile screens as well as laptop content on up to a 100” projector screen.

Measuring roughly the size of a cell phone, this particular pico projector would have no qualms about planting itself into the side of a notebook bag, or to reside in a purse or in a backpack side pocket. Not only that, it wants to make sure that it can last the distance, which is why it comes with a best-in-class 5,000mAh battery that is able to run for a good 3 hours of continuous playback in eco-mode, while its power bank feature would also let you juice up your mobile device, both while projecting or when the projector is turned off.

Jeremy Yakel, President of FAVI Entertainment, shared, “With only your smartphone and the FAVI Pico+ projector, business users and students have complete control over their presentation content and display. It includes a built-in WiFi hotspot allowing you to wirelessly project your mobile content without the need for an external WiFi connection. Furthermore, everyday users can easily pull up their saved content, movies and photos from any external USB device or SD Card. The Pico+ supports standard HDMI from cable/satellite TV, Blu-ray players or game consoles making it an ideal projector for home use.”

The asking price of $299 a pop ain’t too shabby either, don’t you think so?

FAVI Boomerang Wireless Audio Dock showcases NFC technology

boomerangWireless audio docks do seem to be more and more popular these days, otherwise, why is there a need for hardware manufacturers to start churning out more and more of these puppie? Well, the folks over at FAVI Entertainment have announced their crescent-shaped Boomerang Wireless Audio Dock, which happens to be an on-the-go home theater system which caters for your mobile device or tablet, all the while boasting of tap-to-pair NFC technology that offers simple connectivity with compatible devices. The Boomerang wireless audio dock would live up to its namesake of course, where it arrives in a crescent shape, although I seriously doubt that throwing this at an angle away from you will see it return to your hands safe and sound, as the law of gravity would then come into play.

It does not matter whether you are watching a movie, or simply having a conversation using Skype, the Boomerang is able to allow you to enjoy stereo style sound on your iPad, iPhone or Android device with but a simple tap. Just how does it get the job done? Well, it will rely on the most recent version of Bluetooth and NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, allowing you to tap your Bluetooth enabled device to the Boomerang in order to pair with it. Not only that, when it comes to portability, the Boomerang’s a winner thanks to its unique shape that makes it a snap to tote around, while it fits comfortably around your neck when it is not in use.

Among the other key features of the Boomerang wireless audio dock would include an Expansion Sleeve Design which enables you to easily adjust the viewing angle and accommodate for various sizes, a pair of 6W Stereo Sound that delivers integrated bass boosts,and up to 10 hours of battery life via its built-in lithium ion battery. It is available for $79.99 a pop in white, black, red, yellow, purple and pink shades.

FAVI Mini Bluetooth Keyboard

FAVI Mini Bluetooth Keyboard

FAVI has rolled out the new Mini Bluetooth Keyboard. This input device is compatible with any Bluetooth-enabled gadget, including iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Android devices and PC. It offers a full QWERTY keyboard layout, a touchpad and an integrated red laser pointer. The FAVI Mini Bluetooth Keyboard is now available for $49.99 a pop. [Press Release]

FAVI Mini Bluetooth keyboard comes with own trackpad

FAVI Entertainment might not be that established as Bang & Olufsen when it comes to audiovisual products despite being in the same industry, but perhaps that is due to their low profile as well as devices that do not reside on the high end side of things. Their most recent device introduced would be the pocket friendly Bluetooth keyboard that is simply known as the FAVI Mini Bluetooth. The Mini Bluetooth keyboard will not only allow you to get all of your typing done on the go, especially when you are working from the cloud on your smartphone device where a touchscreen display is not all that conducive to whip out a long document while you’re on-the-go.

For starters, the Mini Bluetooth keyboard will come with a built-in trackpad that is ideal for pairing with your favorite device. This can be said to be one of the more versatile accessories you will own for your Android-powered device, as it comes with dedicated Android buttons to pave the way for easy access, while enabling one to enjoy music and video navigation through the use of special hotkeys. Not only that, if you are one who does a whole lot of presentations, you will not go wrong with the Mini Bluetooth, since it has its own built-in laser pointer.

Lightweight and portable, the FAVI Mini Bluetooth is said to deliver an ideal balance of speed, accuracy and comfort. Sporting an intuitive key layout, it paves the way for fast and accurate typing without causing more strain on your hands or fingers. The keyboard itself will come with backlit keys, letting you work in the dark as well as dimly lit areas. Since it should, in theory, play nice with all Bluetooth-enabled devices, you can also use it on a non-Bluetooth enabled device thanks to the inclusion of a Bluetooth USB receiver.

It has a wireless range of 50 feet and will retail for $49.99 a pop if you’re interested. Any takers?
