Personal Dashboard from Ambient Devices

The "Sport Dashboard" enables the tracking of team standings, game scores, league stats and betting odds.

The "Outside Dashboard" offers up-to-the-minute information on the skiing forecast, golfing index, tides and sailing wind speed.

By inserting the SmartSwappable display faces of the meter, customers can change the channel of information they receive via Ambient's nationwide wireless network. Anyone can customize the Dashboard via a simple Web site or a toll-free number.

"People generally either have to seek out information from the Internet, or are barraged by emails, ads and text messages when they want to know something simple," said David Rose, president, Ambient Devices.

"The new dashboards are a non-intrusive way to get the information you care about without having to work hard or even pay much attention." Ambient Dashboards cost US$129 with no subscription fee for the information broadcast service.

Ambient's network covers over ninety percent of the U.S. population - they won't work elsewhere (yet)).
