BEDMINSTER, NJ, WATERTOWN, MA and SAN DIEGO — From the 2003 BREW Developers Conference, Verizon Wireless, Mobile-Mind, Inc. and Xap Corporation today announced the launch of XAPwords^TM for the SAT® and GRE® on Verizon Wireless Get it Now^SM-enabled phones. XAPwords helps students prepare for standardized college exams with a vocabulary builder that includes 500 of the most frequently tested SAT® and GRE® words. Verizon Wireless customers preparing for the SAT or GRE can download the XAPwords application to study words and definitions, take quizzes, track scores, and make personalized Flash Cards, turning spare minutes at the bus stop or waiting for the game to start into fun and productive study time.

XAPwords is the first college prep application featured on Get It Now, giving students the opportunity to put an interactive vocabulary-enhancing product into their pockets and backpacks.
