Yesterday at the Australian International Motor Show media day, Ford announced the latest addition of its continuous roll-out of SYNC technologies for Australian drivers, SYNC Emergency Assist , coming next year in the new 2013 Ford Kuga SUV and other vehicles soon-after. The smart feature is one of the quickest to make its way down under, in contrast to the years that took for the base platform to arrive, this lifesaving technology was only introduced to Europe 60 days ago. The feature which has already saved real lives in the US, automatically places a call using the driver’s Bluetooth-connected phone to emergency services after a potentially threatening crash has been detected by the vehicle’s sensors.

Ford Focus ST: software technology to make future cars more fun, powerful and simpler

BoysterKilian197    Latest News, Microsoft, Windows 7, Windows 8     australian, microsoft, technology, virtual, windows, windows 8, windows-phone

When our propeller plane landed in regional Australia and I was driven into an aircraft hanger housing World War II vintage aircrafts, I knew today was going to be a slightly different launch event than the technology product ones I’m used to. Although I can’t emphasize enough my lack of qualifications in this area, test driving cars is a lot more fun than reviewing mobile phone or tablets, I’ll tell you that much

Keywest Technology Announces Unprecedented Digital Signage Upgrade Offer to Existing Customers as far Back as 2002

MediaZone Pro Puts You In Control of Your Media –When and Where You Need It Most

Lenexa, KS (PRWEB) June 07, 2012

Keywest Technology announced today a new three-tier discount pricing package to allow its existing digital signage customers to upgrade to its newest digital signage technology for up to 56 percent off the regular retail price.

“Keywest Technology has a long history of building great relationships with our customers,” said company president Nick Nichols. “We believe our new upgrade pricing structure carries on in that tradition by delivering outstanding digital signage performance with our highly acclaimed MediaZone Pro solutions at remarkable discounts.”

The MediaZone Pro discounts – available exclusively on the MediaZonePro.com microsite – reward Keywest Technology customers for their loyalty and give them the opportunity to select from the Basic, Basic Plus and Premium upgrade pricing.

Basic upgrade pricing offers a 38 percent discount on MediaZone Pro software for users of legacy versions of the software. Current customers with a TotalCARE software maintenance program may qualify for the Basic upgrade for free.

The Basic Plus upgrade pricing offers a 40 percent discount on a package that includes the MediaZone Pro software, free installation assistance for 30 days, one hour of one-on-one training and one year of TotalCARE software support and maintenance.

Customers who have purchased any legacy Keywest Technology MediaZone, MediaXtreme or MediaPOD beginning in 2002 can take advantage of the company’s Premium upgrade package, a 56 percent discount on the MediaZone Pro turnkey package. To qualify, customers must have a valid serial number for a legitimate Keywest Technology digital signage product. However, the product does not need to be returned, nor does it need to be in working order to qualify for the premium upgrade.

The Premium level discount is available on a package that includes a turnkey MediaZone Pro digital signage player (hardware and software), one hour of one-on-one training and one year of TotalCARE software support and maintenance.

Keywest Technology’s MediaZone Pro software is a media-zone-based template editor offering full-featured media scheduling and management from one desktop program. Simple to use, the MediaZone Pro editor operates on Microsoft Windows® XP, Vista™ or Windows 7. The company’s MediaZone Pro system includes the company’s high-performance PC-based digital signage player.
