Digital Wallets Designed for Eliminating the Need for Credit Cards - NXTD's Wocket™ Looks to Change the Way Consumers Make Credit Card Payments Worldwide

CORAL SPRINGS, Florida, May 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Smart Technology continues to evolve in the biometrics sector as advanced technologies become available for today's consumer looking for secured methods of future credit card payments: NXT-ID Inc. (OTCBB: NXTD), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ: YHOO), Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT)

In an exclusive Q&A, Mr. Verdi discusses recent ventures including new movie deals and his investments in game-changing technologies, including Apple and biometric mobile security company NXT-ID Inc., (OTCQB: NXTD) (OTCBB: NXTD), which is currently preparing to launch its smart wallet, the Wocket™, (http://www.wocketwallet.com) with advance orders starting May 28th.

Interview Highlights with Mr. Verdi:

Question:
This past year has already seen you reach some key milestones; making movies with the best in Hollywood, like Martin Scorsese and your investment in NXTD is up over 300 percent in less than a year. What are you most excited about for the balance of this year?

A: Chad A. Verdi
Well, that's a tough one. I guess I am the most excited about NXTD right now, only because they are about to launch the Wocket™ this month. Wocket™ is a smart wallet with a re-programmable single credit card device that operates under a secured system using biometrics.

I feel it will change the way people make credit card payments worldwide. Everyone is trying to get in on this game with mobile payments, mobile wallets, mobile apps like LOOP and COIN. Everyone is trying to figure out the best way to do it. I think Wocket™ has the right approach; separate from your phone. Most people are concerned about what happens if they lose their phone or it gets stolen - what happens with all that payment info on your phone? With Wocket™, it's not a worry because after each transaction it basically goes back to a blank card. Your identity and payment info are safe!

It's great to think I originally invested in this a few years ago and now it may become the leader in the payment sector that I thought it would!

Question:
In terms of your investments, you invest in both large companies like Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO) and other big tech and entertainment companies but you also take risks and invest in smaller companies with emerging technology like NXTD.  Where do you see the biggest potential pay-off?

A: Chad A. Verdi
I obviously wish I would have had the opportunity to get into Apple from the beginning. I would have bet big on it, just like I have with NXTD. Companies that take a different path from what the competition is doing represent the biggest opportunity, if it works. Steve Jobs set the course for Apple, I still love the company but it's hard to know if the vision will stay intact.  NXTD is still young and they are taking a revolutionary approach to payments and identity issues, very different from their competitors and I like that. 

About Chad A. Verdi:  

Mr. Verdi is an established movie producer and businessman with an interest in technology investments. He will be the executive producer of three films with Oscar-winning director, Martin Scorcese. The casts of these films will include names such as Liam Neeson, Andrew Garfield, Miles Teller, Aaron Eckhart and Adam Driver.

Smart Technology News and Notes:  

In other smart technology news around the markets, Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) have also been in the news for their recent developments. Google recently made their famed Google Glass available for the general public for a short amount of time and continue to make developments improving the technology, with the latest move allowing Glass wearers to spend money Bitcoin. Microsoft, on the other hand, is rumored to be developing a smart watch experts say could give both Samsung and Apple a run for their money.

Advanced Phase Change Materials - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast to 2018

DUBLIN, Feb. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets

(

http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kd3msc/advanced_phase

) has announced the addition of the

"Advanced Phase Change Materials - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast to 2018"

report to their offering.

Advanced phase change materials (APCMs) are capable of storing and releasing high amounts of energy, whenever these materials change their state. Phase change materials can be segmented into organic, non-organic and bio-based. Increase in total energy supply, growth of construction industry in developed and developing economies and superior heat storage capacity of these materials are a few key drivers which are expected to increase the demand for APCMs. In addition, increasing use of these materials in the textile industry and temperature controlled packaging, coupled with the growth of these industries, is expected to boost the demand over the next few years. However, the high cost and hazardous nature of these materials is expected to hamper the growth of this market. Economic growth in emerging economies of Asia Pacific is expected to open new opportunities for the growth of this market.

Paraffin was the largest product segment of this market accounting for over 50% of the market in 2011. It has high heat storing capacity and is chemically stable in nature. However, other product segments of APCM which include bio-based phase change materials are expected to show the fastest growth within the forecast period. Growing demand for bio-based products is expected to be one of the primary factors expected to drive the demand for other phase change materials. In addition, research and development for this product segment is expected to boost its demand. Other product segment is expected to account for over 13% of the market in 2018.

APCMs in building and construction were the largest application segment within the market accounting for 24% of the market in 2011. Increasing population in large economies such as China, India and U.S. are driving the construction which in turn is expected to fuel the growth of APCM over the next few years. In addition, demand for green construction is expected to contribute to the growth of the market. Shipping and transportation is expected to be the second-fastest growing application segment of phase change materials. Increase trade activities and development of APCMs which enable transportation of perishable goods such as medicines and food is expected to drive the demand in this application segment. Shipping and transportation is expected to account for over 10% of the market in 2018.
