EPOS Enables Consumers to Write and Store Hand-Written Notes On-the-Go With First Mobile Mini-Office Digital Pen & USB Flash Drive Device8 January 2006
EPOS, a leading provider of advanced,
digital positioning technologies, today launched the next generation in USB
Flash Drive devices and applications -- The EPOS Digital Pen & USB Flash
Drive. This all-in-one, mobile mini-office product enables consumers to
capture, write and store hand-written notes wirelessly and in
real-time everywhere and anywhere, by leveraging a digital pen with flash
memory capabilities.
CES attendees stopping by the Piazza Suite in the Venetian Hotel between
January 5th -8th will have the unique opportunity to see and experience
this product as well as EPOS' recently launched Wireless Digital Pen &
Mouse solution.
"We believe that the Digital Pen & USB Flash Drive will provide a far more
efficient and convenient solution to consumers, students and business
people everywhere who are continuously carrying bulky laptops and tablet
PCs to meetings and classrooms," said Oded Eliashiv, chief executive
officer of EPOS. "This product, at a fraction of the size and weight of a
laptop, can be used with any type of paper, and enables users to capture
and store notes, sketches or anything drawn by the human hand, in
real-time. Users can then go back to their office or home and download all
the information to the computer, to use whenever they wish."
The Digital Pen & USB Flash Drive is designed for use by people of any age
in any environment, including school, home and the office. With its
miniature form, low battery consumption and pinpoint accurate positioning
technology, EPOS' device brings together all the benefits of a wireless
digital pen bundled with the latest flash memory capabilities in one truly
unique product. Specific features include:
-- Write and Save hundreds of pages of notes and sketches anywhere
-- Transfer hand-written notes and sketches to a PC or Laptop
-- Transform written notes to text using standard handwriting recognition
software
-- Send notes and sketches via email/messaging applications

EPOS
Launched in the U.S. in the Fall of 2005, EPOS' first product, the Wireless
Digital Pen & Mouse, is a multipurpose, wireless PC peripheral that enables
a diverse audience -- from cyber teens and students to urban professionals
and the elderly -- to enjoy all the benefits of a wireless digital pen with
full mouse functionality, at the click of a button.
Based on EPOS' advanced digital positioning technology, the product enables
users to wirelessly capture and display handwritten notes on a PC, point
and click with full mouse functionality, draw and share sketches digitally
via email and messaging applications and transform handwritten notes to
text, all seamlessly and in real-time. Unlike competitive products, EPOS'
Wireless Digital Pen & Mouse does not require special paper or a tablet,
runs on minimal battery consumption and retails at an extremely low price
point.
EPOS Unique Positioning Technology:
Both products are powered by EPOS' proprietary, advanced multi-dimensional
digital positioning technology. The company's positioning technology is
unique because it is based on the transmission of ultrasonic acoustic waves
between two or more devices via a "transmitter" and a "receiver." The
transmitter, embedded in a device such as a pen or other wireless terminal,
sends constant acoustic signals to the receiver that in turn, uses them to
measure the exact distance and position of the device.
Unlike previous positioning technologies utilizing acoustic measurement,
EPOS is the first company to transform the acoustic domain into digital.
By digitizing the acoustic signal, EPOS' technology can pinpoint the exact
distance and position of the device as well as support several devices
simultaneously.
