Zomm: Wireless leash for your cell phone

Posted on 06 January 2010 by


Zomm comes from a mother of three, who kept hearing her kids and friends complain about lost mobile phones. Together with her husband, Henry, they created ZOMM as a solution for this common problem.

The size of a small key chain, the Zomm communicates with your cell phone via bluetooth and acts as a speakerphone for incoming calls, provides a panic button and can call emergency assistance from anywhere in the world with just one touch of a button.

The leash portion of the Zomm alerts you via an audible tone when you walk too far away from your phone.

The ZOMM will be available for retail in the second quarter of 2010, in both black and white color options. It uses a lithium-ion battery with a single charge lasting approximately three days. ZOMM also comes with a standard micro USB wall charger, a micro USB charger that connects with any computer (for updates and activation) and optional clips for ease of use.
