The Ultra Music, a 2007 CES Innovations Design & Engineering Award Honoree
The Ultra Music is a complete music player with superb sound quality and innovative design. A union of slim style and function, the Ultra Music is an iconic bar handset designed with an added twist: dual LCD screens. An LCD is featured on each side of the device. On one side there is a smaller LCD screen and the dialing keypad for making phone calls. This side also allows contact entry and cell phone menu functions. The reverse side has a large LCD screen and a dedicated touch sensitive pad. This side serves as the music player for MP3 and WMA files and has multimedia menu functions.

The Ultra Music is equipped with a digital power amp, which offers a dedicated music user interface that makes it easy to navigate through song lists. Additionally, it has a stereo FM radio and a Quick PC Sync, allowing users to create a music library and customized play lists. In addition to dedicated music features, the Ultra Music has all the extra features consumers have come to expect, including a 2 mega-pixel camera, extended battery life and Bluetooth technology.

The Ultra Video
The Ultra Video is the ultimate personal multimedia device with a smart design and cutting-edge features, ideal for consumer's on-the-go. Similar in design to the Ultra Music, the Ultra Video features dual LCD faces -- one side is specific to making phone calls while the other contains a large screen and dedicated multimedia controls. The unique swivel design allows the screen to rotate away from the controls to adjust the viewing or form a stand to place the device down on a stationary surface.

The Ultra Video is a HSDPA-enabled phone allowing users to view a large array of video content including MPEG-4, H.264, WMV and AVI files. It also has a PMP function with wide 2.4" screen as well as a 2.0 mega-pixel camera.
