OWC, NewerTech at Macworld

Other World Computing (OWC) today announced that it will highlight NewerTech's TrafficJamz FM Transmitter and iPod charger at the 2007 Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco. TrafficJamz offers users plug-and-play functionality, broadcasting tunes from any dockable iPod to a car stereo while simultaneously charging the player's battery. The accessory is available in black or white, allowing users to broadcast over any available FM frequency with push-button programming for up to four personalized favorite frequences. The device ships with a 27-inch dock connector cable, and can be paired with NewerTech's 120V-12V Power Adapter ($7) to utilize household power while broadcasting iPod tracks over home stereo equipment. TrafficJamz is priced at $35, and is fully compatible with Apple's first- and second-generation iPods as well as third-, fourth-, and fifth-generation iPods.

OWC also announced that NewerTech's USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter will serve as one of its primary spotlight products at Macworld. The device is a single-source solution for plug-and-play data access, allowing users to connect via USB to any 2.5-inch, 3.5-inch, or 5.25-inch hard drive or optical drive with standard IDE/ATA/ATAPI 40-pin or Serial-ATA interface. The Universal Drive Adapter is priced at $25, and works with Mac OS 9 as well as Mac OS X.

Also appearing at OWC's Macworld booth is NewerTech's NuPower Video+, an all-in-one rechargeable iPod video battery pack and stand that docks the portable player while extending battery life to a total of 80 hours for music or 16 hours for video. The unit serves as a portable charger to deliver up to three consecutive full battery charges to a single iPod, and works with any fifth-generation video iPod. The NuPower Video+ is priced at $60.
