udoq announced today that it is now shipping udoq, the first worldwide patented universal docking station for all mobile devices of every brand and generation. Just in time for Father’s Day and graduations, udoq is a one-size-fits-all station for charging and docking all Android, Apple, and other smartphones, tablets, music players, smartwatches, eReaders, and other devices. Created by the minimalist designers of Porsche and other brands according to German engineering standards, udoq is made of elegant sturdy high-grade aluminum built to last. It features an innovative patented process which allows users to quickly and neatly move and slide back and forth all the charging cables from multiple devices in one station without the mess and disorganization of tangled cables and lost devices.
Connector Cables Slide Back & Forth in Any Order – Mix & Match Devices
udoq includes cables from Apple, Android, or other devices as chosen by the user, such as Lightning, Micro USB, USB-C, and 30-Pin, with an adapter for the Apple Watch. The cables snake through the back of udoq’s aluminum bar, snapping onto the patented udoq connectors which slide along the track on the bottom and can be moved into any position for optimal viewing, operating, and charging.
udoq is fully customizable to any range of mobile devices, allowing users to mix and match Android, Apple, or other devices with a quick cable swap. All connectors can be adjusted in height to fit thick bumpers and cases. Simply open the udoq adapter to adjust your cable to the required height with the included small tool, or custom configure the dock ahead of time when ordering at https://udoq.com/configurator/from a drop down list of devices. udoq keeps the cables tidy and hidden away, connected to its multi-port USB charger contained in the box behind the udoq which plugs into a wall outlet, or you can plug the cables directly to your computer.
All smartphones, tablets, eReaders, and music players, such as iPods, are propped vertically or horizontally (according to the location of the charger port) and stay fully accessible for use while docked and charging or syncing. The dock protects devices against slipping with a double layer of silicone strips, so you can safely store and use your devices without the fear of sliding or scratching their surfaces. All versions of udoqs can also be mounted to a wall with the rock-solid udoq wall mount set, which contains machined aluminium brackets.
Four Different Versions Available from 10 inches to Almost 2 ½ Feet:
udoq is available in four different model lengths: 250mm, 400mm, 550mm, and 700mm. The smallest size (udoq250) is around 10 inches and perfectly fits four smartphones or one iPad and one iPhone.

udoq was created from Founder Marcus Kuchler’s desire to organize the chaos resulting from multiple devices, cables, and chargers. “I’m the father of two active kids, and of course they love their smartphones and iPads,” said Kuchler. “After struggling with our various charging and syncing routines and the chaos of it for several years, I got sick and tired of the daily search for cables, chargers, and phones. Bringing all my expertise of 25 years working as a product designer with my company, marwin, for brands like Adidas, Porsche, Rimowa, Cherry and Leica – and my 12 years of ‘internship’ as a husband and father – I invented udoq.”

Priced from $100-$200, udoq is available immediately from https://udoq.com/shop-2/, completely customizable at: https://udoq.com/configurator/. For more information, see www.udoq.com.
HP Releases World’s Smallest Laser In Its Class

Learn more at hp.com/go/smallestlaser.
The rise of the gig economy is having reverberations on how and why people work. Business models are shifting and new careers are emerging. For example, according the World Economic Forum (WEF), small businesses make up 99% of the private sector in the UK, and there are more than 57.9 million small business employees in the U.S. Similarly, WEF reported that in China, small and micro enterprises and self-employed entrepreneurs accounted for 94.2% of all firms.
Smallest Form Factor with Maximum Productivity
Now 30% smaller than the previous generation, the HP LaserJet Pro M15 and M28 printers are about as tall as a standard No. 2 pencil or the average smartphone. The printers feature a sleek compact design that will fit nearly anywhere.
Even with the tiny size, these new LaserJet Pros can print at speeds up to 18/19 pages per minute, allowing users to quickly finish projects on a tight schedule.
Easy Mobile Printing
The HP LaserJet Pro M15 and M28 printers allow mobile workers to easily print business documents and scan on the go—all from a smartphone or tablet. For example, the HP Smart App is designed to completely control the printer from a smartphone, offering simple set up in minutes, fast scanning to the cloud, and making it more convenient than ever to order supplies or print from virtually anywhere. In addition to the HP Smart App, the new laser devices also support Apple AirPrint; Google Cloud Print, Mopria-certified and Wi-Fi Direct.
Affordable Laser Quality
The smallest laser in its class from HP is also the company’s lowest priced, allowing micro business users to save money while enjoying the quality and reliability expected from the industry leader.
The printers are intuitive, feature a simple design and automatically save energy with HP Auto-on/Auto-off technology. In addition, preinstalled cartridges help users get printing professional-quality documents right out of the box.
Availability and Pricing
HP’s new LaserJet Pro M15 and M28 series is estimated to be available for purchase worldwide starting April 2018. More information can be found at hp.com/go/smallestlaser.
