Dean Compoginis, Bittel�s recently-hired chief marketing officer, comments �With the launch of UNO, we are introducing a completely new communications platform to the industry. UNO is a first-of-its-kind device that enables hoteliers� cost-cutting initiatives, while simultaneously delivering a serious cosmetic upgrade to one of the most tired and bland devices in the guest room today, the phone. Frankly, we wondered why no one had done this before.� �It�s an indisputable truth that guest room phone usage has declined dramatically over the last ten years,� Compoginis continues, �so why should hoteliers be forced to purchase a separate device just to deliver voice services in the hotel room? The UNO value proposition is simple: take voice services off of a dedicated device � the phone � and converge them onto another device in the room. We feel that the most obvious place to do that is the clock/radio. And, since the vast majority of travelers carry a variety of personal electronic devices with them, we also thought it made a great deal of sense to provide a convenient place for them to plug in their iPod, iPhone, mobile phone, or mp3 player. Having dual USB ports also provides guests with a convenient place to charge their mobile phone without hunting around under furniture for an electrical outlet. We think the industry will enjoy the new math: one plus one equals UNO.� Availability and Pricing The first UNO models will be available by the end of the first quarter of 2010. UNO pricing is not yet available, however the product is designed to sell for less than the combined cost of a hotel phone and alarm/clock radio with iPod docking station.
