Express Mounts and GPS City to Offer New Vehicle Mount for Netbooks
March 6, 2009 Las Vegas, NV (Link)
Mounting solution will allow netbook owners ease of use inside their vehicles.
Express Mounts (www.expressmounts.com), a division of GPS CITY, is proud to announce a new style mount aimed specifically at users of netbooks. The introduction of the Tough Tray II is as a result of increased consumer demand for smaller, highly portable laptop computers, also known as netbooks.
The creation of the Tough Tray II mounting cradle will serve as the newest inter-vehicle mounting solution for this type of laptop. With the addition of a base and mount of the users' choosing, the new cradle will allow users to attach their netbook securely to their dash, window or at their side. In addition to fitting consumer oriented netbooks, it will also be compatible with "tablets" -- customized touch screen laptops generally used by law enforcement.
Vice President of Operations, Brenton Wingard, foresees a strong demand for the Tough Tray II. "In tough economic times, Netbooks are just what people need -- since they're so affordable, they'll become increasingly attractive to consumers. And because of their portability and range of applications, our mount will logically become a necessity."
The innovation behind products like the netbook mount is what Wingard believes continues to drive the success of Express Mounts. "Yes, we currently sell mounts for laptops, but this addition to our product line is representative of our ability to quickly and efficiently adapt our product base to meet consumer demand," he says. He adds that should the highly anticipated -- but still speculative -- Apple version of a netbook be released, Express Mounts will "be able to immediately provide a mounting solution for it" as well.
Express Mounts is one of the top mount suppliers in the US, providing direct sales and service to the consumer, industrial and government sectors. To date, the company has sold custom crafted mounts to the US State Department, the FBI, the United States Military and hundreds of local and state agencies. Their strong focus on customer-service has made them one of the most trusted and recognized mount providers in the US.
About Express Mounts and GPS CITY: Established in 1994, GPS CITY (www.gpscity.com) and its sister company GPS CITY Canada (www.gpscity.ca) quickly became the Internet's leading source for information and purchases of GPS systems and accessories. In 2000, its corporate headquarters moved from Calgary, Alberta to Las Vegas, Nevada, and the company has enjoyed significant growth ever since. In 2005, GPS CITY founded a separate division, Express Mounts (www.expressmounts.com), to cater to consumers who wanted high quality, low cost mounting solutions for their GPS systems, computers, cellphones and televisions. Currently, GPS CITY is a leading reseller of Garmin and other brand name GPS products and is one of the top resellers of GPS mounting systems in the world.
