ABOUT PARROT: “We Put Bluetooth® in Your Life”

Founded in 1994, Parrot has rapidly established itself as a major global player for wireless peripherals around the mobile phone. Capitalizing on the know-how acquired in the fields of voice recognition and digital signal processing technologies, Parrot has been one of the first companies to develop Bluetooth® wireless hands-free car kits, having identified this standard’s great potential as early as 1999.

Determined to be part of the mobile telephone’s increasing importance in day-to-day life, Parrot has developed two new products in 2006: the Parrot Photo Viewer, an LCD photo frame designed to display photos transmitted from a mobile telephone via Bluetooth, and the Parrot SOUND SYSTEM, a wireless hi-fi system with Bluetooth®-enabled speakers.
