CES 2010: Zomm Remembers Your Phone
Miranda Capra / Consumer Products / Mobile / New TechnologyNote: This week we are reacting to CES 2010, which was last week in Las Vegas.
Zomm has created a keychain fob that’s a Bluetooth accessory for your phone. It pairs with your mobile phone, and then it beeps if it gets more than 50 yards away from your phone, to help you remember to take your phone with you. It also doubles as a personal alarm and way to talk to emergency personnel. The folks at CES also thought it was cool, they awarded it “The Best of Innovations” Award. This is a great example of design to avoid mistakes. For many of us it’s pretty difficult to leave home without keys because we have to lock the front door and start the car, but it’s much easier to forget your phone at home or on a table at a restaurant. With Zomm, as long as you have your keys, you’ll remember your phone. If you keep your phone in your purse it can help you remember both, but if you forget your keys too you’re completely stuck.
