| ComVu Receives Wireless Innovation
Contest Award at CTIA Wireless 2006 |
| Las Vegas, NV — April 5, 2006 — ComVu, the pioneer
in automated video broadcast solutions, is a prize winner in
the Wireless Innovation Contest 2006 (WIC’06). ComVu’s PocketCaster
was selected from entries from across the United States and
Canada, as it demonstrates a “real world” wireless innovation
that will impact our lives – broadcasting video live from the
palm of your hand. |
| Using a camera phone to share instant experiences via live
video is very compelling to consumers. Existing video recording
options are cumbersome and never live. ComVu is the first to
offer mobile users the ability to transmit live video broadcasts
of any length and to any size audience using ComVu’s “do-it-yourself”
video network. |
| ComVu nominated Olympic snowboarder Crispin Lipscombe’s use
of PocketCaster whilst on world tour and at the 2006 Winter
Olympics for the award-winning entry. Amateur sports is an activity
that brings families and communities together, yet there has
been no easy and cost-effective way to record and share sporting
events with those that cannot attend. Crispin Lipscombe broadcasts
his experiences while on tour around the world – interviewing
competitors, capturing moments from the Olympics and world championships,
and catching the latest aerial tricks. |
| "PocketCaster easy to use and cost-effective. The basic
monthly subscription is about the same as a camcorder tape,
but provides for at least twice the video storage, enables live
broadcasting and viewing capabilities over the Internet,"
comments William Mutual, CEO of ComVu. |
| "This year, the competition was fierce and our judges
were really challenged to pick out the award winners,"
says Sang Mah, President of WINBC. "The award winners are
testament to how wireless occupies all walks of life. We’re
very pleased to see how wireless is truly driving change in
many sectors." |
