HandHeld Entertainment Surpasses 500,000 Videos on its Network of Web Properties
“Passing the half-million mark for total videos posted on our five Web sites is a true milestone for our company and a testament to the fact that our strategy is working,” said Jeff Oscodar, president and chief executive officer of HandHeld Entertainment. “We’ve acquired four Web sites since November 2006, properties primarily focused on humorous content, and we’re seeing our content inventory grow on each of those sites. As a result, we now have one of the largest online libraries of both premium and user-generated videos in the world.”
Starting in mid-November 2006, HandHeld Entertainment has acquired (in chronological order) Dorks.com™, FunMansion.com™, YourDailyMedia.com™ and Putfile.com™. In addition, ZVUE.com™ (the company’s Web store) currently houses more than 12,000 premium video and audio selections, selections that are available for preview, purchase, download and playback on personal computers or personal media players (PMPs).
HandHeld Entertainment’s Web sites offer premium music videos, anime features, television shows, movies, cartoons, independent films, documentaries, and news, entertainment and sports programs from companies ranging from Sony BMG to IMG Media and from Canadian Broadcast Corp. to Fun Little Movies, as well as free user-generated and user-submitted video selections and other forms of media. Customers can also select from millions of songs that can be played on a PMP through HandHeld Entertainment’s relationships with eMusic and Rhapsody (see http://www.zvue.com/html/music.php).
