<description><![CDATA[Can you hear me now(Credit:RCA)It's hard to make a hearing aid sound cool, but it helps to refer to it as a &quot;personal sound amplifier.&quot; Meet RCA's Symphonix RPSA10. RCA isn't targeting the Big Band generation with the new device. It's geared more for younger buyers, some of whom, the company notes, may have damaged hearing from spending so much time hooked up to blasting headphones and exposed to boomingcar stereos.RCA and its parent company Audiovox already make plenty of speakers and headphones and it's not a stretch to jump into the hearing aid realm from there. If people are misusing audio products to the point of hearing loss, you might as well step up and offer a solution for dealing with the aftermath.There are some interesting features going on here, starting with no more trips to Radio Shack to find the right miniscule battery. The Symphonix is rechargeable and sports a 15-hour battery life. At less than a quarter of an ounce, it's also suitably lightweight and discreet. That low profile means it shouldn't get in the way of mobile phone use.RCA says the device's digital sound-processing technology helps to distinguish between speech and background noise. The $299 price tag isn't too shabby in comparison with some of the big-bucks hearing aids on the market. Some of those run as high as $3,000.The Symphonix isn't destined to become the next hot audio gadget, but its small design, rechargeable battery, and marketing image may encourage some people with hearing loss to finally invest in a little help.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Startup Bootcamp, a European startup accelerator network and Techstars affiliate, just added Dublin to its existing locations of Copenhagen and Madrid. London and Berlin will follow in 2012.Ireland&amp;'s tech scene continues to expand in spite of the woeful state of the rest of the economy with a plethora of accelerator programs, seed funds and events like Founders and the IBM smartcamp global finals happening there in the last year or two.Startup Bootcamp&amp;'s Dublin program will be run by Eoghan Jennings, formerly CFO of Xing, one of Europea4a4s most prominent startups. A single pan-European application process will result in the selected teams being assigned to the most suitable city. I attended the first investor day at Startup Bootcamp&amp;'s Copenhagen location last November, and one striking characteristic of the startup teams there was how few of them were Danish. One team came all the way from South America. Dublin&amp;'s first batch of startups is also expected to include 8-10 teams from outside Ireland.Jennings told me that each city is expected to develop into a center of excellence in a particular domain area. Ireland has produced quite a few successful enterprise software companies, so its initial theme will be &amp;''smart cities&amp;''' the challenges presented by big data and connected devices in urban environments. The idea is also to tap into the customers and problems of multinational companies already present in Dublin like Facebook, Google and IBM. IBM and RDIL, Citia4a4s first dedicated R&amp;amp'D center in the world, will be official partners.Traditionally, Ireland has had a good pool of tech talent, with many developers learning their trade at those same multinationals. A true startup culture has been slower to develop but is picking up speed. Dogpatch Labs is due to open its first international incubator in Dublin this year. Another Techstars affiliate, the Propeller accelerator, is backed by Declan Ryan of low-cost airline Ryanair.The government trade body Enterprise Ireland is offering up to a 50,000 euro investment to startups that want to relocate to Ireland. Four new seed funds launched in the last couple of years.The country&amp;'s ambitious targets for renewable energy, with 40 percent of power due to be supplied by wind and wave sources by 2020, have also generated a cluster of clean tech startups.Next Story: Not so pretty: Layoffs at e-commerce darling ModCloth Previous Story: Site optimizer HubSpot raises $32M from Google, Salesforce and Sequoia CapitalPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Accelerator, founders, incubator, ireland, startupCompanies: Facebook, Google, IBM, techstars          Tags: Accelerator, founders, incubator, ireland, startupCompanies: Facebook, Google, IBM, techstarsCiara Byrne is a full time techie and part-time writer.
