Now That You Have Your iPad, iPhone, Kindle, nook, Tablet, Smartphone, It Will Need a Home
Forecasts of record smartphone and tablet sales are music to the ears of 12 year old dzdock inventor
BETHLEHEM, Pa., Dec. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Nowadays it seems everyone has an iPhone, an Android or Smartphone and more and more people are buying iPads, Kindles, nooks and tablets. Apple alone is forecast to sell more than 100 million iPhones and iPads in 2012. As expected, this broad acceptance of these intelligent devices has given emergence to a sector of ever increasing importance, the accessory manufacturer. What's not expected is that a 12 year old would even think he could participate. But this 12 year old dzdock™ inventor is not typical.
Last month the Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) awarded Dino Zaharakis its prestigious Global Student Entrepreneur Award for High School in a ceremony at the New York Stock Exchange. A month before that he received the "Most Innovative Product" award at Chicago's McCormick Center. Men's Health Magazine named dzdock one of its Five Favorite Stocking Stuffers.
Necessity is the mother of invention
The inability of many iPad docks and iPhone docks to accommodate the devices with a case led Dino Zaharakis to invent dzdock - a universal stand. He also noticed that although many devices were designed in the USA, few were Made in the USA.
His goal was to develop a stand that could:
- place/remove a device without disconnecting its cable
- hold a device with/without a skin in both portrait and landscape modes
- be universal, accommodate iPad, Kindle, nook, tablets, iPhone/smartphones
- be designed and made in the USA
Young Dino Zaharakis is an example of what has and will continue to make this country great. "Only in America can an idea become a company with sales in more than 20 countries in a period of 6 months!" noted his dad. "Dino is the driving force. Throughout the year he juggles school, piano, football, lacrosse, swim team, Greek school and still has the energy to work on dzdock prototypes, check on sales and visit the local manufacturing plants."
Patent Pending dzdock lists for $29.95 on Amazon but sells on www.dzdock.com for just $19.99 -- using a promotional code ("DZDOCK19").
