He spoke at a session at the Wearable Tech Expo, and said that companies working together in partnerships will help advance the technology more quickly. “As you build your platform, think about not onlyrnhow this will scale into your own platform, but the ecosystems of partners tornbuild a bigger and broader ecosystem.”

Stelle audio

Stelle audio

For anyone wanting a little bling with their wireless Bluetooth speakers, Stelle has the device. The company has encased wireless Bluetooth speakers in purses in an attempt to bring fashion to the category. However, the end result is not exactly stylish, unless someone’s definition of high fashion is an oversized shiny metallic or leather clutch with stainless steel studs. The company also manufactures pillar speakers that feature contemporary printed designs. These speakers are intended for in-home use but come packaged in suede cylindrical tote bags for carrying ease.
