Avatron Software, a leading mobile app developer for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, showed two crowd-pleasing apps and introduced its newest app at the Lunch at Piero’s press and innovator event during CES:
These applications enable people to be more mobile and more productive without lugging around heavy laptops and devices.
Air Display turns an iPad into a wireless computer monitor.
Air Sharing, a document manager, lets you mount your iOS device like a wireless flash drive, copy files onto it, and view your documents on the go. The Pro and HD versions also let you connect to remote file servers and print documents.
And now, Print Sharing gives you all of the printing power of Air Sharing, wrapped in a delightfully simple workflow. Easy in, easy out.

Lunch at Piero's Press Event During CES 2011

It’s kind of like a wedding.  Months of preparation, lots of great dialogue, pictures, video, people from all over the world, and then, poof! it’s done.  At least for this year.  Lunch at Piero’s 2011 was a fabulous nexus of innovators and reporters, analysts and video crews.  Media joined us from the Las Vegas Convention Center across the street to see apps, mobile devices, gadgets, tablets, software, and some technologies that you will only see in next generation entertainment and PC devices.  Find out all about our sponsors here.  Thank you to everyone who joined us, both sponsors and editorial teams.  Videos and photo album will be posted here.  But for now, I’m taking a couple of days off.  See you here next week.
