`New Portable, Wireless Instant Messaging
`Device for Teens and Tweens
`Home » Categories » FromtheWire » ComputerNews
`
`November 2007 -- Finally, a gift that is as good to give as it is to receive. The Zipit
`Wireless Messenger 2 (Z2) is a sleek, portable, Wi-Fi instant messaging (IM) device
`that gives teens and tweens freedom to walk away from the computer and gives
`parents a low-cost handheld option for their kids with the ability to monitor and
`manage usage.
`
`With more that half of the country's teens sending many of the billions of instant
`messages everyday, IMs have become the number one text-based communication
`choice for teens. The Z2, manufactured by Zipit Wireless, Inc., is the only device that
`offers wireless IM connectivity with no monthly or per message fees and supports all
`the major IM platforms AOL, Yahoo and MSN. The Z2 allows teens to have multiple,
`concurrent conversations with their friends on any home wireless network or any
`open or free wireless "hotspot " at no cost and includes a music player and photo
`viewer.
`
`"While texting on cell phones has grown in popularity, it cannot take the place of the
`immersive, instantaneous and simultaneous IM social network of where 16 million
`teens in the United States regularly participate," said Frank Greer, chief executive
`officer and president, Zipit Wireless. "The Z2 is a huge step forward because it
`allows kids on-the move to IM away from the computer while letting parents keep a
`virtual eye on their kids' conversations."
`
`The web-accessed parental portal (parents.zipitwireless.com) enables parents to
`manage the amount of time teens can use the Z2, as well as the specific times and
`days of the week that the Z2 can be used. This cutting-edge technology provides
`parents with an added layer of security and comfort that complements the safety
`features inherent to the Z2 design such as protecting users from well-known Internet
`hazards that include spam, viruses and access to inappropriate Web sites. To
`develop the parental portal, Zipit worked with parents and experts in the field of child
`safety and will continue to support parents' needs with future portal enhancements.
`
`The Z2 includes a fully capable music player called MyTunez that provides instant
`access to music collections stored on an optional Mini-SD card or streamed from the
`Internet. Teens can also view photos and slideshows with the built-in MyPhotoz
`feature.
`
`The Z2 was recognized for its uniqueness at the 2007 DigitalLife consumer
`electronics event in New York when it was selected as one of the show's most
`innovative products and named DigitalLife 2007 Best of Show for portable gear.
`
`“The Z2 thrills kids who are looking for the hottest new technology tool, frees up the
`computer for the rest of the family and gives parents peace of mind regarding their
`childrens’ IM communications,” said Ralph Heredia, vice president, business
`development, ZipIt Wireless. “It gives parents the ability to ensure a happy holiday
`season and families a safe and fun New Year.”
`
`
`
`The Zipit Wireless Messenger 2 can be ordered for $149.99 exclusively at
`www.zipitwireless.com.
