iCelsius App Turns iPhones into Digital Thermometers

FREEHOLD, N.J., April 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Aginova Inc., a NJ-based sensor technology company, announced today it is launching iCelsius, a product that extends your iPhone by using a temperature probe that turns an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch into a digital thermometer. The current app downloaded from the App store will read the temperature, create graphs and set up alerts. iPhones and iPads are becoming ubiquitous, and the addition of sensors to them will make the world around come alive.

Upgrades to the application software will map the temperature data to everyday tasks; the iCelsius will transform the way we experience and monitor the world around us. In addition to helping maintain the ideal conditions for many household situations, iCelsius will take the simple temperature data and provide a wealth of information about how to use the temperature data.

The iCelsius measures temperatures between -22 and 158 degrees Fahrenheit with an accuracy of +/-1 degree and is suited for many applications. A stainless steel tip makes it possible to measure liquid temperatures such as baby formula, cooking ingredients, wine, tea, household appliances and hundreds of other applications.

iCelsius is simple to use -- just plug the cable into the device, download the free application from the App Store, and get to work!

Over the coming weeks and months, Aginova plans to release additional sensors to become the leading provider of sensing technology for apple devices. Soon-to-be-released sensors include more flexible probes that can be used for cooking, baking, grilling, measuring meat or fry oil temperature with higher temperature thresholds and longer probes, to be followed by sensors for humidity for measuring comfort level and others.

iCelsius is available for a limited time at a discounted price of $34.99 (regular price is $44.99) from the http://www.icelsius.com online store.
