NEW ORLEANS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–GoSolarUSA (PinkSheets:GSLO) announced today that New York City electronics superstore J&R plans to carry the Peel 520 accessory for Apple’s iPod Touch.
“We plan to continue our communications with them and to develop a marketing relationship to our mutual benefit.”
Founded in 1971, J&R began as a tiny music retailer occupying 500 square feet across from New York’s City Hall and has evolved into a block-long electronics megastore famed for its massive selection. A true shopping destination, J&R offers hundreds of brands of consumer electronics, including a wide range of Apple products and accessories.
After discussing the product over the phone, a J&R electronics buyer confirmed the retailer’s intent to carry the Peel 520 in a letter to GSLO President and CEO Tyson Rohde.
“J&R is a unique and influential superstore in the heart of New York City,” Rohde said. “We plan to continue our communications with them and to develop a marketing relationship to our mutual benefit.”
J&R is only the latest retailer to contact GoSolarUSA about the Peel 520’s availability. Rohde has received correspondence from dozens of buyers around the globe, including big-box American retailers such as Micro Center. GoSolarUSA owns the exclusive right to sell the Peel 520 in North America and is entitled to a percentage of Yosion’s worldwide profits.
“There is no question that demand is very high for the Peel 520 around the world,” Rohde said. “The fact that major retailers such as J&R are seeking us out shows us that retail interest is robust.”
In order to help satisfy consumer demand for the Peel 520, GoSolarUSA set up a waiting list for the breakthrough iPod Touch accessory at GoSolarUSA.com. iPod Touch fans can now enter an e-mail address and other contact information to be among the first to purchase the Peel 520 when the device becomes available for purchase in the U.S. To date, more than 1,600 devices have been wait-listed for purchase.
Demand for the Peel 520 is being driven by the device’s groundbreaking functionality. With the proper software installed, the Peel 520 adds the ability to make voice calls and text messages to the Touch. The device snaps on to the iPod Touch’s case and includes a 4.5-hour battery, dock connector and SIM card.
GoSolarUSA is dedicated to aggressively acquiring, developing and marketing promising and potentially profitable technology. The Peel 520 is a product of Yosion Technologies based in Shenzhen, China. The iPod Touch and the iPad are products of Apple Inc., (NASDAQ:AAPL) which competes in the global smartphone market against Google’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android devices and the Research in Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM) BlackBerry line.
