Unwired for
sound
Sony’s new h.ear on
Wireless NC (noise

of travel accessories made from old
headphone wires.
GPS trackerphone

smartphone, allowing children to make and receive calls
from their parents. A free app lets parents track their
children with automatic notification as soon as a tracker
leaves a specified zone.

It sees you coming

the cooler’s contents. Digital signage content can
be managed remotely with distribution to coolers
via the internet or USB.
