Myvu brings video glasses to the UK high street

Myvu's personal media viewers provide everything you need to enjoy videos from your portable video player, anywhere, any time and are perfect for viewing movies or video content. Myvu Corporation has announced that its line of myvu personal media viewers will this month go on sale in the UK at major retail outlets.

The myvu solo plus edition connects to all video Apple iPod models, including the recently introduced iPod touch, iPod nano and iPod classic, while the myvu Universal Edition turns any portable media player such as an MP4 player, mobile phone, DVD player or camcorder into a hands-free, private viewing experience, giving "video-on-the-go" a whole new meaning.

Following an agreement signed with Micro Anvika, the UK's largest independent retailer of computers and personal technology products and accessories, the myvu solo plus and Universal editions are available at Micro Anvika's high street outlets and online store, as well as Harrods, Selfridges, and selected outlets of Bentalls, House of Fraser and Fenwicks. In addition, Myvu's personal media viewers can be purchased through Nectar - the UK's largest customer reward programme, attracting 50% of households in the UK.

Myvu's patented breakthrough ergonomic design makes myvu the only video eyewear that is truly mobile, comfortable and well-fitted. The personal media viewers come with the following accessories:

- The smallest and lightest video eyewear available, with built-in video viewing and audio systems for high quality viewing
- Pendant for power and picture control
- Comfortable noise reducing in-ear earbuds by Ultimate Ears
- Low-profile design so you can see your surroundings
- Up to 4-hour battery life supplied by ultra-lightweight rechargeable battery
- Connection leads for different video players (Universal edition)

"We're delighted to offer the myvu personal media player at our own stores and through our retail partners," said Gary Young at Micro Anvika. "We specialise in selling only the latest technology. Myvu's products are innovative and highly acclaimed, and are the smallest, lightest and most durable eyewear displays available on the market today."

"Today's announcement is another milestone in our ambition to make our products readily available in the UK, and meet consumer demand for a hands-free, private viewing experience," added Kip Kokinakis, president and CEO of Myvu. "Micro Anvika has a reputation for excellent service and quality products. We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership."
