generationPIX Brings Logitech Mobile Video To Verizon Wireless Customers

BEDMINSTER, NJ and SAN FRANCISCO, CA — A picture can say a thousand words, and with today's launch of the Logitech® Mobile Video™ service, Verizon Wireless customers can now use their wireless phones to view live webcam images from virtually anywhere. Verizon Wireless customers with a Get It Now^SM-enabled phone can view live images from personal or publicly available web cameras directly from their handsets with the Logitech Mobile Video application powered by generationPIX.

"The introduction of this Logitech Mobile Video service further widens our lead in the downloadable arena. Our uniquely available Get It Now service gives our customers innovative, fun and useful communication applications they can access directly from their wireless phones," said Jim Straight, vice president of wireless data and Internet services for Verizon Wireless. "The Logitech Mobile Video service brings an exciting new dimension to Get It Now by enabling our customers to visually connect with family and friends, as well as view public web cameras right from their phones."

Using the Logitech Mobile Video service powered by generationPIX, Verizon Wireless customers can view public web cameras as well as password-protected private web cameras from their pre-selected 'Friend's List'. When a private web camera is selected, viewers enter the appropriate password to be connected to a web camera from their wireless phone, and they can see the one-way video directly on the phone's LCD screen. Users can also receive an SMS message notification that will alert them when a friend's camera comes online so they don't miss those special live video moments. For example, when one parent is traveling, they can see their child's smiling face while on the road. Logitech Mobile Video offers a host of public cameras on their Web site, http://mobilevideo.logitech.com, which can be accessed directly from Get It Now phones.

"We are very excited with our relationship with Verizon Wireless and Logitech to deliver Logitech Mobile Video to wireless users nationwide," said Michael Branzuela, CEO of generationPIX Inc. "Our ability to send Logitech web camera images to mobile phones is a phenomenal step forward for the rapidly growing audience of next generation wireless phone consumers."

"Logitech continues to offer innovative, powerful, real-time visual communication applications and cameras to consumers," said Junien Labrousse, senior vice president and general manager of Logitech's Video Business Unit. "Verizon Wireless' Get It Now service enables us to bring the benefits of live video to people on the go. By extending the reach of our web cameras to wireless phones through Logitech Mobile Video, we're providing an exciting new way to visually share experiences."

Current Logitech web camera owners can take advantage of the Logitech Mobile Video application by producing private or public video content that Get It Now users can view. The desktop version of this application will ship with all Logitech web cameras and can also be downloaded from http://mobilevideo.logitech.com.

Verizon Wireless customers who purchase a compatible full-color Get It Now phone can subscribe to Logitech Mobile Video directly from their Motorola T720 or the CDM-9500, by downloading the application, which costs $4.99 per month for unlimited use in addition to airtime used. Currently, Verizon Wireless is offering a free trial of the Logitech Mobile Video service. Get It Now phones are available in more than 1,300 Verizon Wireless Communications Stores, at participating RadioShack stores, or on the Web at www.verizonwireless.com.

The Motorola T720 is currently being offered for $79.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate and a two-year agreement while the CDM-9500 retails for $149.99.
