REDMOND, Wash., Oct 25, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) — MicroVision, Inc. MVIS -0.31% , the leader in innovative ultra-miniature laser display technology, today announced that its SHOWWX+(R) HDMI laser pico projector will soon be available for purchase on www.shopblackberry.com , the official global accessory site of Research In Motion (RIM) RIMM -3.02% CA:RIM -1.23% . MicroVision has partnered with GlobalWare Solutions to handle inventory and fulfillment for RIM’s customers worldwide.
“The excitement that businesses and consumers have shown in moving from smartphone-sized screens to tablets is about to undergo another exponential leap to the viewing experience that SHOWWX+ offers,” said David Beatson, CEO of GlobalWare. “As the global fulfillment partner for all RIM accessories ordered through shopblackberry.com, we will enable consumers to easily experience new levels of visual collaboration and entertainment offered by the always-in-focus, big-screen image and extreme portability of SHOWWX+.”
SHOWWX+ HDMI easily connects to a wide variety of computers, mobile devices and consumer electronics, including Blackberry(R) Playbook(TM), enabling users to display content at over 100 inches in diagonal image size on any type of surface. It is one of the only pico projectors that slips easily into a shirt pocket and offers two hours of battery life and focus-free operation, which is ideal for all truly mobile applications–from sharing business documents in between meetings at the water cooler to playing a wall-sized version of Need for Speed Undercover while waiting for the train.
The agreement with GlobalWare includes inventory management and worldwide shipping for all sales of SHOWWX+ HDMI and accessories on RIM’s global accessory site.
