Mad Catz Interactive, a third-party interactive entertainment accessory provider, and the creators of AirDrives Interactive Earphones, designed to blend music with life's surroundings, today announced plans to release a next generation of AirDrives, specifically created for use with the Apple iPhone. It is anticipated that the product will be commercially available in early 2008. Like the original AirDrives earphones, the iPhone model will feature an outer-ear design powered by InAir Technology, a breakthrough personal audio technology that lets users hear what's going on around them.

The iPhone compatible AirDrives will include a microphone and one-touch music-to-phone capability that together should enrich the listening experience and optimize convenience and communication for iPhone users. "The new AirDrives will enhance the virtual communication experience offered by the iPhone by allowing users to stay in tune to their conversations, music selection and as an added safety benefit, their everyday surroundings," said Ken Wright, creator and designer of AirDrives. AirDrives for iPhone will join the existing line of AirDrives and AirDrives for Kids Interactive earphones.

AirDrives are compatible with iPod, MP3 Players, computers and portable DVD systems, and are available now. The suggested retail price is $99.99 for AirDrives, and $69.99 for AirDrives for Kids.

The Consumer Electronics Show, better known as CES, has been held annually for over 40 years now. The first CES took place in New York City in 1967 featuring 200 exhibitors and 17,500 visitors. Since that time, the total show has increased by a factor 10. This year's CES show will again take place in Las Vegas, as usual, where visitors are welcomed from January 7 to January 10. The CES event appears to become more important every year. It is the first major world event where more than 2,200 CEA (Consumer Electronics Association) members are able to display their involvement in relation to development, manufacturing, distribution and integration of consumer electronic products such as audio, photo, video, mobile communication, and accessories. The CES 2010 starts off a brand-new year, offering a peek of what we can expect in the upcoming season regarding new products and services.
