Hulger
British electronics company
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hulger is a British company that designs electronic equipment. It was formed from Pokia after a trademark dispute with Nokia by Nicolas Roope and Michael-George Hemus.[1]
The company was founded on the idea of old telephone handsets plugged into cellphones.[2] It soon diversified, adding voice over IP applications.[3] The handsets were designed to be intuitive.[4] While Pokia handsets were modified existing designs,[citation needed] Hulger handsets were newly commissioned products, created specially for use.[5] In late 2005 two Bluetooth models allowed wireless use with both cellphones and PCs/Macs.[2][6][3]
The company founded in London, England in 2005; the prior Pokia company was a prototype project dating back to 2002. The first production model was available to buy on 1 June 2005, and since then a number of new designs have launched under the label.[7]
Hulger products have received both G-mark[8] and IF[citation needed] product design awards.
