On January 6th at CES Unveiled, Covington Creations introduced the Earbud Yo-Yo, its latest gadget, to the media. The Earbud Yo-Yo is an audio cable organizer invented by Julie Johnson Barkley to organize the earbuds supplied with iPod’s, MP3 Players and Smart Phones. When asked about her invention she said “Earbuds are wonderful audio accessories that are absolutely essential to listen to music or to view movies, but everyone knows the earbuds are difficult to stow when not in use because they tangle easily”. It is this tangling and untangling process that frustrated Julie to the point where she was motivated to find a solution. She invented the Earbud Yo-Yo as her solution to the problem of stowing the earbuds. In her words, “the Earbud Yo-Yo is finally a simple solution to tangled earbuds”.
Covington Creations LLC, located in Houston, Texas has an exclusive license to manufacture and sell the Earbud Yo-Yo. The company has inked a deal with Grand Dynasty Industrial Co. of Taipei, Taiwan to make and package the Earbud Yo-Yo. Regarding sales, the company expects to receive the first shipment of Earbud Yo-Yo’s in early January 2009 and it is also in discussions with several product distribution companies regarding fulfillment.
