Creates New “Personal Locator” Category for Retailers

(NEW YORK) – April 14, 2008 – Zoombak LLC (www.zoombak.com), announced its plans to debut its Zoombak Universal GPS locator at RetailVision 2008, the leading technology event for consumer retailers.  Zoombak is participating in RetailVision, held April 14-17 in Orlando, FL, to demonstrate its new Advanced GPS locator solutions and continue its aggressive retailer rollout program which includes Circuit City, Petsmart, BestBuy.com, and Amazon.com.

Zoombak’s affordable and easy-to-use GPS locators provide users with advanced location technology and peace of mind.  The newest addition to Zoombak’s expanding product portfolio is the Zoombak Universal Locator.  Zoombak harnesses the power of GPS and cellular technology to provide the latest in “personal locator” technology and allow consumers to quickly and accurately locate anything of importance.  Zoombak, small enough to be placed in a backpack, briefcase, or pocketbook or attached to a bicycle or golf bag, provides accurate real-time location information to users via the web, email or text messages.

“Zoombak was launched in December 2007 and is quickly redefining the market for personal, advanced GPS technology by becoming an integral part of a user’s everyday life,” said Zoombak’s CEO Simon Buckingham.  “Based on positive consumer and retailer feedback on our auto and pet locators, we are confident in the tremendous potential of our Universal locator as a tool to help people stay connected to so many things of importance.”

Zoombak, currently shipping to stores nationwide, is designed for broad consumer adoption and is the ideal solution for retailers looking to broaden their consumer electronics and GPS-based product portfolio beyond Personal Navigation Devices (PNDs).  Zoombak’s advanced GPS auto and pet locators start at $199 plus a low cost monthly service plan, and are available at PetSmart, Circuit City.com, Amazon.com, BestBuy.com and J&R.  Zoombak will hit Circuit City shelves in May.
