Time to talk about work

As most people who visit my blog know it has not been that long since I moved back from Toronto. I am very glad to be back, Toronto was not a lot of fun.

Well what took so long to move back in the first place was my need to have a job back here in my field. Also as many of you know I am one of those computer geeks as I like to explain it. The more technical description of what I do is I work in the semiconductor industry in test and manufacturing area's of a company. I get hired to make sure there is a quality product that can be tested and shipped.

When I moved back I joined this startup company that specializes in hardware (chips) for high quality wireless audio at low power. Well we just came out of what is called stealth mode, so now I can talk a little more about the company.

The name of the place is pronounced clear, but spelled with a k and is eer instead of ear (done this way so I do not get searched by my boss).

So what does this company do? Well here is a picture.iPod Nano® Wireless Audio Adaptor

What we have here is a standard iPond nano with an extra little adaptor on the bottom of it. Then we have these little earbuds/earphones, notice one thing. No wires. These things work great, good sound, no noise, and they fit well in your ear.

What we actually make is just the chips and the software to control them, but these were made up to show potential customers how it all works.






Well the product has a huge potential, our customers seem to be really buzzing over it. I know it will do well and I can not wait for these things to be on the shelf in a store near you.

MikeG out!

Nope, not bluetooth!, that is a bad word around here. Actually Bluetooth was not designed for audio, it is supposed to be data, so for audio, it is actually half assed (high power, not the best quality, etc). Our solution is designed for high quality audio, been described as good as a wire. Plus it allows for longer battery life (or smaller battery). And sorry ryan, no waterproof yet, but the first customer wants to make them water resistant (i.e you can have them in the rain or something)
