Mobile Phone Users of 16 Carriers Can Now Receive Podcasts Directly on Their Mobile Phones With New Vemail VoiceEmail Service

Huntington Beach, CA — (Market Wire) — 11/22/2005 — Voice Genesis®, a provider of mobile voice/visual email, announced the immediate availability of its new Vemail VoiceEmail™ service that supports podcasts for an estimated 50 million mobile phones in the United States and Mexico. Vemail VoiceEmail runs on the mobile phones of 16 operators. Vemail VoiceEmail lets users retrieve podcasts over the air with their mobile phones, and speak replies that are delivered directly to the podcast host. Vemail VoiceEmail also enables users to read email and speak replies on a mobile phone.

Podcasting has become a phenomenon, allowing just about anyone to broadcast their own radio show via the Internet, and allowing consumers to load audio content onto their portable media players. This practice has become wildly popular; radio stations have responded by also making their shows available as podcasts. Generally, podcast listeners must download podcasts onto their computers and then load them onto their portable media players for later listening. Now, for the first time, consumers can bypass these steps and have instant gratification with podcasts delivered directly to their mobile phones. Vemail VoiceEmail allows users to select from a variety of featured podcasts at the VoiceGenesis.net web site, or enter a link to any publicly available podcast they want. The next time they check email with Vemail VoiceEmail on their mobile phone, poof, the podcast will appear in their inbox. They can also speak a reply that the podcast host may hear and opt to include in future podcasts.

"We are pleased to open up a new podcast delivery channel that makes podcasts available to so many more people," said Mark Marriott, CEO of Voice Genesis. "In many ways Vemail VoiceEmail represents an evolutionary jump in podcasting. Not only is a portable media player not required, but the podcast need never be downloaded to a PC. Even more significant, users cannot only retrieve podcasts, they can also speak replies that are sent directly to the podcast host. Now anyone can truly Be Heard!™"

Mark Marriott, CEO of Voice Genesis

Vemail VoiceEmail is available for a low monthly fee of about $5 for unlimited podcasts plus the ability to read email and speak replies (airtime may be required for use). Following is a list of current carriers compatible with the new service: Verizon Wireless, Alltel, Midwest Wireless, Iusacell, ACS, Appalachian Wireless, Bermuda Cellular, Bluegrass, Carolina West Wireless, Cellcom, Eloqui Wireless, GuamCell, Illinois Valley Cellular, Pacific Telecom, Pioneer Telephone, and RCC Unicell. For details and instructions on where to locate Vemail VoiceEmail in supported phones see www.VoiceGenesis.com.

"Several months ago I had to give a presentation to a small group of investors in a London hotel room. I whipped out an iPod and connected it to a TV using a video cable. With the iPod in the palm of my hand, I ran the slide show prepared with ThinkFree Office 3 Show. The investors thought it was so cool that the first question they asked was where they could get the software. Since then I had to tell a lot of people to wait until we productize a special version of ThinkFree Office 3 Show. Finally, ThinkFree Office 3 Show, iPod Edition is ready," said TJ Kang, CEO of ThinkFree, Inc.  "Some people like the product because of the freedom it gives them, others like it because it gives them an excuse to expense an iPod purchase. I have to warn them though, regardless of the reasons for using the product,their presentation gear may get more attention than the presentation itself. ThinkFree Office 3 Show’s small foot print and cross platform capability make it an ideal companion software for an iPod. Now students and business people have a new excuse to buy an iPod."
