ECTACO’s jetBook Color Triumphs at CES 2012
Long
Island City, New York – Las Vegas - January, 31, 2011
ECTACO, the recipient of the
prestigious 2012 CES Innovation Award for the jetBook Color Educational eBook
System, is proud to announce one of the most successful CES years ever
experienced.
It’s
one thing to attend CES as an exhibitor; it’s an entirely different world
exhibiting after winning the CES Innovations Award. That’s how the show can be
summed up for us. Not only did we have a crowd at our booth at every minute of
every day, but we also had some of the most incredible technology seen to date
in the tablet/eBook Reader world – Color E Ink.
Being
the first to utilize a technology that has been sought after since the
inception of eBook Readers really set us apart from the endless rows of cases
for your phone and TV’s – literally, phone cases and TV’s were the only thing
we saw at the show!
The
exhibition of the jetBook Color was thrilling not only for the visitors, who seemed
to favor Ectaco’s booth, but for the company itself as well. “We’ve had people
from all over the world stopping by.” –David Lubinitsky, CEO, shares his
experience - “The visitors were impressed by the success the device was having in
Russia and Ukraine and were interested in establishing the same system for
education in their countries as well.”
The
9.7” screen jetBook Color is the world’s first to utilize eye-friendly Triton Color
E Ink technology in an eBook Reader oriented solely towards education. The main screen serves as an ID card for the student
displaying a schedule of classes (updated daily via Wi-Fi), list of student's
and teacher's notes, homework and classwork, and a designated channel for
instant communication with any teacher. The same home screen will boast an
application list based on student's grade and classes with the following
topics: My Library, eTextbooks in work, Classwork and Homework, Oxford Reading
Support, Languages and Games, Science and Math. Subsections within these
applications will aid students to be on top of their classwork and pair
technology with the classroom creating a fully interactive and intellectually
stimulating environment connected to worldwide educational resources.
Along
with the most sophisticated and functional eBook Reader software, the jetBook
Color features the content of a 50-state reading list, teacher and school
administrator resources, and a fully interactive SAT course that will train,
test, and raise students’ SAT scores. A Speed Reading course that will teach students to
read and comprehend text faster, Talking Oxford Dictionaries narrated by
professional linguists, course of English and foreign language grammar, speech
recognition and speech analysis Language Teacher ® and U-Learn™ courses that
teach any of the 52 available languages and provide great support to ESL
students. Pictured dictionaries for 36 languages, cross translator for 180
languages, Vocabulary Builder, Linguistic Crosswords, reference materials in
Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography and Earth Science, Interactive
Periodic Table of Elements, graphing and scientific calculators and more.
“This
was a truly exciting week for us. Seeing all the enthusiasm and interest of
future business partners, educators, and visitors was out of this world.” - Says
Greg Stetson, Product Manager – “With the educational experience we have in the
Eastern European market, we are thrilled to enter the US and worldwide
educational scene with the jetBook Color.”
