Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) January 6, 2005 -- FrogPad, an innovator in data entry
methods for mobile computing, and innovative clothing maker SCOTTeVEST INC.,
joined forces to introduce its latest innovation: the FrogPad SCOTTeVEST, the
latest in mobile computing attire – making it possible for seamless data entry
from anywhere. The FrogPad SCOTTeVEST is a portable fabric keyboard with
Bluetooth technology that is integrated into some of SCOTTeVEST’s line of
clothing. The wearable FrogPad is compatible with all Macs and PCs supporting
the Bluetooth Human Interface Device (HID) profile, which describes how a
keyboard will communicate with another Bluetooth device.
SCOTTeVEST
designs garments with today’s mobile device user in mind, incorporating
ergonomically designed pockets and a patented Personal Area Network (PAN) by
Technology Enabled Clothing® (TEC) to manage and conceal wires from headsets.
FrogPad and SCOTTeVEST are seeking partners to bring their combined technology
and innovations to market.
Applications for the wearable Frog include
industries with needs for easy data entry from a field application such as
shipping logistics, healthcare patient care, and remote field operations such as
on-site drilling for the Oil & Gas industry. Moreover, SCOTTeVEST expects to
leverage its successes to date with military applications in conjunction with
the FrogPad keyboard to further the effectiveness of military operations. The
FrogPad SCOTTeVEST is the latest addition to the FrogPad product line which
includes the iFrog BlueTooth™ FrogPad, the original FrogPad with two versions
for left and right-handed users, and the slimmer white FrogPad.
“Our new
FrogPad SCOTTeVEST product extends data entry to the most remote applications
with ease,” said Linda Marroquin, CEO of FrogPad. “This new FrogPad has the same
one-handed data entry capabilities as our iFrog BlueTooth™ enabled FrogPad but
now in a wearable format that can be integrated into clothing for virtually any
mobile application.”
CEO of SCOTTeVEST INC. Scott Jordan said, “We
