- Along With In-Vehicle Products, Full Range of Innovative Accessories and
Peripherals on Display at Nokia Booth -
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Reflecting the trend towards
the increased integration of connectivity and mobility, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) has
dedicated the majority of its Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2005 booth space
to in-vehicle products, including wireless car kits, Bluetooth-enabled GPS
receivers and Nokia handsfree solutions for the auto industry. In addition to
in-vehicle devices, other exciting Nokia accessories and peripherals will be
on hand. Nokia will also be highlighting its new battery authentication
program, designed to give consumers a way to differentiate original Nokia
batteries from potentially unsafe counterfeit batteries.
On the show floor, Nokia is displaying a 2005 Land Rover LR3 with
Integrated Bluetooth Phone System that allows a compatible phone to be
controlled via a vehicle keypad, voice recognition or steering wheel controls.
Also on display is a new Mini Cooper with a Nokia Wireless Car Kit CK-7W
installed. Fully hidden from view, except for a tastefully designed dash-
mounted control button, the Nokia Wireless Car Kit demonstrates the seamless
aftermarket installation that is possible, even in the most diminutive of
vehicles.
For users desiring a self-installable, portable handsfree solution, Nokia
also is demonstrating the Nokia Headrest Handsfree and a selection of new
Bluetooth-enabled Nokia Wireless Headsets. The Nokia Headrest Handsfree
creates an instant in-vehicle handsfree environment by combining a speaker and
microphone into a single unit that straps on to virtually any headrest support
bar. The Nokia Headrest Handsfree can be removed as quickly as it can be
installed, making it ideal for multi-vehicle families, or for the frequent
traveler who wants a handsfree device in a rental car. A variety of Nokia
Wireless Headsets -- from functional to fashionable -- will also be on
display.
Nokia's new battery authentication program, being shown for the first time
in the US at CES 2005, consists of a holographic label on the battery and an
authentication code hidden under a scratch-off area on the label. Consumers
can visually inspect the holographic image and identify detailed information
on it to check whether their battery is an original Nokia battery. The visual
elements include the Nokia Connecting Hands symbol, Nokia Original
Enhancements logo, and a series of dots around the Nokia Original Enhancements
logo. Each element is visible depending on the viewing angle. Users can then
go online to verify the 20-digit authentication code hidden under the scratch-
off area.
"At this year's Consumer Electronics Show, Nokia is demonstrating how the
substantial power of today's mobile devices can be magnified with the use of
innovative new Nokia accessories and peripherals," said Olavi Toivainen,
director of mobile enhancements for Nokia. "We are especially excited to show
the many ways that Nokia is working to bring wireless connectivity to the
vehicle environment. Whether consumers are looking to add wireless
connectivity to their existing vehicle, buy a new vehicle with built-in
handsfree support, or find a quick, easy and effective solution for multiple
vehicles, Nokia is delivering effective products to meet their needs."
