LAS VEGAS — iLuv Creative Technology expanded its
CE accessories lines with new charging products and
sync cables, and it introduced what the company is calling
the first audio dock designed for Amazon’s Kindle
line.
The iMM375 features the robotic arms of the company’s
MyBot OmniFit technology. This allows the dock
to adjust for the width of the Kindle Fire or Kindle Touch,
or it can be used with any device
that uses a 3.5mm audio
port.
The iMM375 also charges
the Kindle while it’s plugged
in. Suggested retail is
$69.99.
Speaking of charging,
iLuv introduced several new
charging and syncing cables
as part of its MyLink line.
The retractable CuteSync
iCB12 is billed as an ultraportable
sync and charge
cable that can fit on a
keychain. It has an Apple
connector and a MicroUSB
connector, as well as a flipout
USB connector. iLuv said it was designed to expose
only one connector at a time, thus avoiding any potential
syncing errors incurred by connecting two devices at
once.
The Mini CuteSync iCB9 is similar to the CuteSync,
but it’s only meant for use with Apple devices.
The DualJack iCB17 is a combination sync and charge
cable that has an Apple connector and a MicroUSB
connector. The iCB27 version can be used with Galaxy
Tab and Galaxy S smartphones.
Pricing for the cables start at $19.99.
The company also launched its MyPower line of power
and charging solutions meant for the “world-traveling
consumer.” Pricing for these cables start at $19.99.
The DreamTraveler iAD301 is a travel-size combination
power strip with surge protection, USB charger for
Apple devices, and a slide-out charging dock. It can
power up to six devices at
once with its three grounded
outlets, two USB ports and
one USB charging dock, iLuv
said.
The RockWall iAD710 is a
dual-port USB wall charger
that can simultaneously quickcharge
an iPad and an iPhone/
iPod. It features a swiveling
base that allows it to be connected
to an outlet strip on the
floor, an outlet on the wall or
folded closed. It can also accommodate
various international
plug adapters.
The DualPin iAD610 dualport
USB charger is meant for
use in cars. It features a total of 15.5 watts and can
quick-charge an iPad and iPhone simultaneously. It also
has a head that can swivel at a 30-degree angle.
The MobiSeal car charger comes in two versions. The
iAD530 is meant for use with MicroUSB devices, and
the iAD540 version works exclusively with Galaxy tablets
and smartphones.
All of iLuv’s new products will be available in May.
