CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - Apr 30, 2013) - Cobra Electronics Corporation ( NASDAQ : COBR ), the leading designer and marketer of award-winning mobile and consumer electronics, today announced its Cobra iRadar^® ATOM ^™ was named as a finalist in the Mobile Apps category for Automotive, LBS, Navigation and Safe Driving of CTIA's annual Emerging Technology (E-Tech) Awards competition.

It allows users to share alerts in real time when connected via Bluetooth ^® with the iRadar app and via cellular data services with the iRadar Community. The iRadar Community lets users report and warn other users nearby of live police, caution areas and photo enforcement areas. Its companion smartphone app displays a host of valuable information including speed, compass heading, location-based mapping, maximum speed setting and an array of warnings from the iRadar ATOM and other iRadar users nearby.

"The CTIA E-Tech Awards are a respected presence in the world of wireless products and services, so all of us at Cobra are honored to be chosen as a finalist in the emerging technology market," said Sally Washlow, president of Cobra Electronics. "The iRadar ATOM is the smallest, most powerful and most user-friendly radar detector on the market, and since we all rely so heavily on our smartphones today, pairing the unit to a user's smartphone offers a large, high-resolution and familiar display packed with important information and powerful features -- all at an affordable price."

Nearly 300 entries were judged by a panel of highly-respected industry experts, reporters and analysts. Submissions were scored on innovation, functionality, technological importance, implementation and overall "wow" factor.
