mophie, known
for its funky iPod accessories, announced today that mStation
acquired the mophie brand name and product line.
mophie is well known for its modular line of iPod accessories, rapid
response, and award winning designs. "mStation has the culture and
experience to grow the mophie brand. Consolidating the manufacturing and
distribution of the two companies is a win-win," says Ben Kaufman, founder
of mophie. The two organizations will continue to work together in product
design and development for the mophie and mStation brands.
"The speed and responsive nature of mophie in this quickly changing
market is what attracted us to the company. We are thrilled to bring the
two brands together and put the mophie energy to work," says Ross Howe,
Director of Sales and Product Development for mStation. mStation will
produce and distribute the coming line of new iPod accessories this fall.
With the mophie brand owned by mStation, Kaufman and his team will
focus full-time on the community-based decision-making process codenamed:
Illuminator. "Why limit this extraordinary process to iPod accessories when
it can easily be adopted by any organization for virtually any decision
making activity?" Kaufman said. "The Illuminator is everything that current
social networks lack, harnessing all their pent-up power to actually get
things done."
mStation
Out of the gate, mStation was praised for its cool Industrial Design,
and its amazing Sonic Quality. mStation was recently awarded "Best Product:
Digital Home" at Retail Vision (Denver, CO) a Gartner Event where Decision-
Makers from Top 100-Level merchants responsible for offering products and
services to the consumer market meet and critical retail merchandising
decisions are made. mStation products can be found in Apple Specialist
Stores and retailers across the country. mStation products can also be
found in select retail outlets in both Canada and Mexico.
Illuminator
The Illuminator, featured on CNBC, in FastCompany, Entrepreneur, and
Inc. is a collaborative, web-based process that incorporates the power of
social networking to involve large groups of people in decision making
activities. Public release of the Illuminator project is planned for later
this year.
