TORRANCE, Calif. -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- News and entertainment stop for no one – and that’s certainly the case with the new Cydle P29A, the mobile consumer’s ultimate companion.

At 2010 International CES in January, Cydle (www.cydle.com), the emerging leader in car-based multimedia systems and one of South Korea’s biggest consumer electronics companies, will introduce the latest addition to its P29 Series. The multifunction Cydle P29A combines a multimedia player and subscription-free Mobile TV, and integrates a host of other capabilities designed to appeal to travelers who want to take their sights and sounds with them.
