TORRANCE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--News and entertainment stop for no one – and that’s certainly the case with the new Cydle P29A, the mobile consumer’s ultimate companion.

“The P29A is an elegant, extremely portable way to catch the news, a favorite program, or enjoy movies on the subway, a bus, or literally anywhere. And we’ve worked to ensure that audio-visual quality is absolutely first-rate, so consumers sacrifice nothing for portability.”

At 2010 International CES in January, Cydle (www.cydle.com), the emerging leader in car-based multimedia systems and one of South Korea’s biggest consumer electronics companies, will introduce the latest addition to its P29 Series. The multifunction Cydle P29A combines a multimedia player and subscription-free Mobile TV, and integrates a host of other capabilities designed to appeal to travelers who want to take their sights and sounds with them. Cydle will be exhibiting in Booth Central 13041.

The Cydle P29A media player consists of a high-resolution 2.9-inch touch screen and optimized interface that delivers high quality audio and video.

While playing music, the screen displays related information, such as lyrics, names of singers, and images.
