Parrot Presents its Latest Technical Innovations at CES 2008

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Parrot, a leader in wireless peripherals around the mobile phone, is demonstrating two new cutting-edge consumer electronics technologies at the Consumer Electronics Show. They include a digital photo frame that accepts photos transferred from cell phones via MMS, as well as a line of products with easy-pairing Near Field Communications (NFC) technology that eliminates the manual pairing process typically required for Bluetooth(R) and other wireless devices.

MMS Digital Picture Frame

The new PARROT DF7700 7-inch digital photo frame has an integrated SIM card with a dedicated call number so consumers can send photos to that number across a room or around the world just as easily as they would send a text message.

Now newlyweds can send photos instantly from their honeymoon and families can share pictures of new babies with parents and grandparents wherever they are in the world. The possibilities are endless.

The new PARROT DF7700 frame also features a USB connection and an SD card slot for more conventional methods of photo transfer. The PARROT DF7700 is a real electronic photo album, storing over 500 snaps in its internal memory, accepting all photos, whatever the source.

The Parrot MMS digital photo frame is currently only available in France and is being sold through a French telecom.

NFC Technology

Parrot is presenting at CES its first NFC-enabled prototype products for trial comprising of a digital photo frame, a stereo speaker system, a conferencing system and a car kit which all work with a Nokia NFC-enabled phone.

"Parrot is committed to developing products that make people's lives easier, and achieving this goal starts with making products intuitive and easy to use," says Henri Seydoux, founder and CEO of Parrot, Inc. "Parrot welcomes any industry initiative such as NFC that helps improve the customer experience via simplicity of use and more user-friendly features."

By playing an active part in the NFC Forum initiative Parrot is helping ensure that NFC is implemented to its full potential in all future products.

ABOUT PARROT

Founded in 1994, Parrot has rapidly established itself as a pivotal global player for wireless mobile telephone accessories. Drawing on its tried-and- tested expertise on voice recognition and signal processing technologies, Parrot was one of the very first companies to produce Bluetooth(R)-based wireless hands free car kits, having identified this standard's vast potential as early as 1999. In 2006, Parrot sold about 3 million units. Determined to accompany the wireless peripherals' irresistible breakthrough into our day-to- day lives, Parrot has been developing since 2006 a new wireless range of sound and image products. Today, Parrot truly has a major international focus: 90.5% of its sales are generated outside of France, and a large percentage of its production is outsourced to carefully selected partners, enabling it to achieve the best possible level of quality and responsiveness. Parrot is now particularly well positioned to capitalize on the bright future opening up for mobile telephone devices. Parrot has achieved strong growth in its consolidated revenues, up from 80.9 million Euros pro forma in 2005 to 166.9 million Euros in 2006.
