January 18, 2008, San Francisco, CA -- Newer Technology, Inc. (NewerTech®) http://www.newertech.com, the leading developer of Macintosh® and iPod® performance upgrades and accessories, today announced that the Newer Tech Hands-Free Mic & Earbuds for the iPhone was named as a winner in the iProng Best of Show Awards for Macworld 2008.
The awards were announced Friday, January 18, as part of the 24th Annual Macworld Expo & Conference, held January 14-18, at the Moscone Center, San Francisco. "The reason we chose the Newer Tech earbuds was that we were surprised at the product's ability to replace the earbuds that come with the iPhone with the same functionality, while sounding better and costing less," said iProng publisher Bill Palmer. iProng Magazine, which covers all aspects of the iPod, iTunes, iPhone, and associated content including music and podcasting, based this year's iProng awards on innovation, quality, value, uniqueness, and usefulness to the user base.
"It was very gratifying to receive this recognition for the NewerTech Hands-Free Mic & Earbuds," said NewerTech President Larry O'Connor. "NewerTech's mission is to bring customers the technology they need, with the high quality and value they have come to expect."

The On/Off switch allows the user to pause music, take a call, end the call, and resume music. A shirt clamp securely attaches the black 39" long cable to prevent unsightly and dangerous cord dangle. The NewerTech Hands-Free Mic & Earbuds for the iPhone retails for $19.99 and is available immediately.
