The ZOMM is supposed to help you from misplacing your mobile phone. The Zomm is the second major business development for the Penixes. The Zomm, which stands for “Zachry, Olivia and Madison’s Mom,” works by sending alerts if it is taken outside of a cell phone’s Bluetooth range, typically 30 feet. First it will vibrate, then activate a series of lights and finally sound a tone.
The puck-shaped device is supposed to work as a wireless speakerphone for incoming calls, and provides a panic button and one-touch emergency dialing if your phone is stuck inside a briefcase or bag when you need to make that 911 call. And in the interest of preventing you from losing your phone entirely, it can automatically trigger an alarm if you walk too far away from your mobile phone.
No word on pricing yet, but word on the street is a retail price around $79 (USD). The ZOMM will officially be revealed at next week’s CES show.
