Gadget Carnival

TenBu, a British mobile innovator, recently rolled out nio™, a gadget that protects valuables such as laptops, BlackBerrys, smartphones and the data they contain for North America market, following success in the European market.  With nio™, portable technology users can now harness Bluetooth to defend against the loss or theft of their devices.

The nio™ is a remarkably feature rich device that includes:

1. Bluetooth USB dongle
2. Rechargeable battery
3. Accurate motion sensor
4. In-built alarm
5. 3 selectable security zones
6. Find tag facility
7. Anti tamper motion sensor
8. Light alert on tag
9. Themed phone interfaces
10. Calendar surveillance settings
11. Maximum range 20m
12. Software download direct to phone

nio™ uses innovative software to link electronic tags to Bluetooth enabled mobile phones and PDAs. The tag allows you to establish a security zone for your tagged item of up to 20m. If the security zone is breached, both the tag and your mobile phone emit an audible alarm, which alerts you to the potential loss or theft of your article. A flashing light on the tag is simultaneously triggered.  Should you prefer, you can choose to receive a vibration alert

Below is a video explaining how nio™ works.
