Nashville, Tennessee - (June 1, 2009) - Nashville-based solutions provider, Uniguest^TM, has unveiled the all-in-one HP dx9000 TouchSmart PCs for its Business Center Kiosks, Boarding Pass Kiosks, and the newly developed Concierge Station^TM Kiosk at the Nashville Marriott Airport.

In a press conference last Wednesday at the Nashville Marriott Airport, representatives from Uniguest^TM, HP and the Marriott Airport Nashville announced the revolutionary touch-screen computers are available to guests and visitors of the Nashville Airport Marriott.

Speaking on behalf of Uniguest^TM, Co-Founder and CEO Shawn Thomas kicked off the conference by thanking those that have taken part in the development of this new technology. "As a 50-employee firm and as an entrepreneur, it is truly exciting to team up with the world's largest IT firm, HP," Thomas said.

Thomas came up with the fresh idea of incorporating Uniguest's top-selling SecuredAdvantage^TM kiosk software with the HP TouchSmart PC when he saw the sleek TouchSmart at a Best Buy® retail store. "I knew this PC would change the way travelers use technology while on the road," Thomas continues. "Digital signage and touch-screen technologies are becoming more prevalent in our everyday lives. All of these new innovations make life easier for us by giving us quick access to what we want and need.  And with our SecuredAdvantage^TM kiosk software, we create three unique experiences for guests. By using the kiosks, guests can check into airline flights and print boarding passes, look up local restaurants, attractions and events, print directions to and from any destination, get real-time flight arrival and departure times from the airport, and utilize all the internet has to offer, all while being protected from online computer security threats."

Kirk Godkin, Manager of Enterprise and SLED Product Management in the Americas at HP, provided an in-depth description of the HP TouchSmart PC, pointing out the value of touch technology. "The TouchSmart interface is welcoming to hotel visitors and easy to use, even if they aren't tech savvy. With a simple touch of the finger on the screen, they can access information in fun and engaging ways, without ever having to use a keyboard or a mouse."

Area General Manager of the Marriott Airport, Shannon Bowles, closed the conference with thoughts on how users are benefiting from the kiosk. "Our customers today are 24/7 achievers. When they're on the road, they want to be productive and to be able to get information as quickly as they can. This new technology allows that to happen beautifully," Bowles said. "We really appreciate HP and Uniguest^TM and we're very excited about the direction the technology is headed in."
