IRVINE, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 3, 2014) - Gigastone Corporation, a leading Taiwan-based technology manufacturer that is making its North American debut at 2014 International CES, will introduce the latest model to its patented Media Streamer line at the show. As with other models in the line, the new Media Streamer Plus streams content stored on either a USB drive or SD card to a tablet or smartphone without using an Internet connection. The new model steps up with the addition of an Ethernet port as well as acting as a powerful mobile power charger with its Samsung Lithium-Ion 5200mAh battery.

"Our new Media Streamer Plus provides Apple or Android tablet or smartphone users with four solutions in one product," stated Sherry Chapman, senior director of marketing at Gigastone. "This revolutionary mobile accessory expands storage, allows content sharing, charges mobile devices, and backs up content. Additionally, it has an Ethernet port for network connectivity and a large 5200mAh Samsung Lithium-Ion battery that provides up to 16 hours of WiFi operation. All of that and it's still compact and portable enough to fit in the palm of a hand," added Chapman.
Up to six devices can connect via WiFi to the Media Streamer Plus at the same time and stream different content. For users that need a constant link to the Internet, it features an Internet Bridge that allows connection to the Internet while streaming from the device.
