The world of technology is a strange beast. It has this strange fascination with sticking one thing into another thing, even if said thing never asked for it. For years we have had access to smartphones and for almost as long we have had speaker docks to go along with them.
Now the world is about to change forever (note: may not actually change forever) as Zettaly is combing two things in one. The Avy Smart Speaker is a speaker with a built-in android tablet that wants to be your entertainment media hub. If this sounds like your cup of all in one tea, then read on for the details.
Zettaly Inc. (www.zettaly.com), a Westport, Conn.-based startup, today announces an innovative entertainment product ahead of its debut at CES 2015 in Vegas: Avy, an Internet-connected speaker powered by Android, with access to millions of songs, movies, shows and apps that billions of consumers already love and enjoy.
Feature highlights:
- TOUCH – Intuitive touch interface powered by Android 5.0 Lolipop with access to millions of apps.
- LISTEN – Rich, powerful sound, fine tuned amplifiers, elegant sound chamber and waveguide. Avy delivers professional Hi-Fi sound in a surprisingly compact package. You can stream music directly over Wi-Fi from Spotify, Pandora or popular streaming apps & services alike, play back songs stored locally, or pair up Avy with another source using Bluetooth.
- WATCH – Crisp 7” built-in display puts music, shows, movies all at your fingertip, whether they’re on Netflix, Hulu or Youtube. Connect to TV with HDMI or Chromecast.
- CONNECT – Stay in touch with friends and family using Skype or apps alike.
- GO – Sleek, portable. Perfect size for the kitchen, bedroom, dining area or around the house. Bluetooth ready, offline capable, rechargeable, Avy can go wherever you go.
Avy is scheduled to release in May. Pre-order will begin in February on Zettaly’s website at a starting price of $169. The company is also running an Avy crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter with various early bird offers for as low as $99.
