The demand for feature-rich smartphones is surely soaring high, thereby augmenting the need for various handy navigation devices. Parrot has uncovered its MiniKit Smart which claims to be the first Bluetooth hands-free and multifunction kit. The device boasts of its compatibility with several OS like Android, iOS, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, Symbian and Bada.
The enticing swiveling suction cup enables users to fix their phone on the windshield or dashboard of the vehicle while allowing them to use a magnet for seamless positioning. The device manages various hands-free conversations and navigation applications. The convenience level is enhanced since users can call their phonebook contacts by just calling out the names.
The MiniKit Smart accommodates various smartphones with utmost ease and owners can safely dock their device. The built-in 2W speaker is capable of delivering calls and GPS guidance. Handset owners can quickly pause the GPS functions and resume them once the conversation is complete. Owners may sound delighted since the voice synthesis of the names and a voice recognition system does not need prior training or installation.
The offering wraps in USB cables which enable users to effortlessly charge their smartphones. The MiniKit Smart can be recharged with the enthralling in-vehicle DC power outlet. Moreover, owners can precisely position the device in portrait or landscape mode. The device puts forth one-week autonomy on standby and about ten hours of talktime.
The latest entrant accurately synchronizes and automatically updates its phonebook when paired with a smartphone using Bluetooth. Individuals can access their contacts without modifying any settings on the mobile phone. It can store up to ten different phonebooks and further use them with other drivers. The retractable microphone can be fixed depending on the interior conditions of the vehicle.
The MiniKit Smart is priced at $129.99 and will be available from this month onwards through BestBuy, Crutchfield, 6th Avenue Electronics, Car Toys Al & Ed’s, ABT Electronics, Car Toys, Fry’s Electronics, Bell Canada and the official website.
