NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA and OTTAWA, ONTARIO wholly-owned
subsidiary, Data Evolution Corporation (DEC), today announced its
agreement with Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE: WHR) pursuant to which
DEC is the exclusive provider of large screen computing devices
compatible with Whirlpool centralpark(TM) connection refrigerator
models.
The Clio� Vu, displayed at CES 2008, incorporates the
award-winning SwingTop� form factor that has been used in previous
Clio models; however, the Clio Vu differs from other Clio devices
in that it has been designed to maximize organizational tasks and
enjoyment in the kitchen.
"We were very excited to show off the incredible design of the
Clio Vu with Whirlpool at CES 2008," said Robert Sowah, DEC's Chief
Executive Officer. "The buzz around the Clio Vu for the centralpark
connection confirmed that consumers are ready for organizational
computing on their refrigerators."
"The exciting design of the Clio Vu demonstrates the power and
versatility of the centralpark(TM) connection system," said Mark
Hamilton, Whirlpool's Director of centralpark. "The Clio Vu is the
key part of the centralpark module lineup and we are confident that
the combination will be successful."
Clio Vu, pre-loaded with Cozi family organizational software,
helps clear refrigerators of sticky notes, traditional notepads and
calendars, while keeping grocery lists and schedules organized.
Equipped with Wi- Fi, the Clio Vu can be removed easily from the
centralpark connection digital hub and brought on trips to the
corner coffee shop or on other errands and activities. Using touch
screen, keypad or handwriting input, consumers are easily able to
update their schedules and keep track of their home happenings
without the clutter. Clio Vu users also have the freedom to watch
movies and look up recipes and other information online while
working in the kitchen.
The production version of the Clio Vu will be available in 2008.
Whirlpool centralpark(TM) connection refrigerators are currently
available through BestBuy and hhgregg.
