Widget UK announces Keomo’s solar powered Bluetooth GPS receiver

Keomo’s Bluetooth GPS receiver makes cables a thing of the past
 
London, UK, March 27, 2007 – Widget UK Ltd, a leading supplier of mobile technology and accessories, today announced that it will be distributing Keomo’s Bluetooth solar powered GPS receiver in the UK.

This next generation Keomo Bluetooth GPS receiver is equipped with a high fidelity solar panel, through which the device automatically charges itself when capturing sunlight, making the device completely wireless, eradicating the need for charging cables.

The solar is powered by an excellent 16 channels Nemerix chipset which works just as well as existing powered receivers. In addition to this, the dual power mechanism (battery and solar energy) generates an amazing operating time of 100 hours straight.

The solar panel on the receiver is extremely sensitive, so once fully charged, it can be shut using the 360º rotating flap down front for protection, or in case you want to carry it around.

Mark Needham, managing director, Widget UK Ltd, commented, “We are delighted to be distributing the fantastic Keomo products in the UK. The great advantage of this Bluetooth solar receiver is that it can be permanently left in stand-by mode when weather conditions are favourable meaning you don’t have to grab for your charging cables anymore. This effectively gives the solar GPS the longest operating and stand-by time of all GPS receivers.”

Needham continued, “The solar powered receiver is one of three receivers we will be stocking here at Widget UK. Other products include the Nemerix and SiRF 3 Bluetooth receivers, all three based on Keomo’s philosophy of ultra fashionable designed accessories differentiating them from other manufacturers on the market.”
