      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>San Francisco, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 01/05/2007 --  HandHeld Entertainment surpasses traffic goals announced during November 14, 2006 investor conference call; company also announces that it is on track to achieve other goals stated in the call<br />
<br />
"We said we would attract three to five million visitors to our Web sites by the end of 2007 and we accomplished that goal by the end of 2006," said Jeff Oscodar, president and chief executive officer of HandHeld Entertainment™ (NASDAQ: ZVUE, ZVUEW). "In December, our network of Web sites was viewed by more than 5.5 million unique visitors. We established that goal for the company during our November 14 investor call, but with our mid-December acquisition of YourDailyMedia.com we have already hit that milestone a full year ahead of schedule."<br />
<br />
HandHeld Entertainment announced on December 18 that it had acquired YourDailyMedia.com™ for $1.06 million ($200,000 in cash payable in January 2007, $60,000 in cash payable during the next 12 months and a five-year $800,000 note which can be converted into 186,306 shares of HandHeld Entertainment&apos;s common stock). <br />
<br />
"During a five-week period from November through the middle of December, HandHeld Entertainment acquired three leading Web site properties focused on delivering funny and humorous videos and other forms of media," Oscodar said. "In combination, these three sites – YourDailyMedia.com, Dorks.com™ and FunMansion.com™, along with the Free STUFF! section of ZVUE.com™ and ZVUE.com – attracted more than 5.5 million unique visitors in December. We now have a solid foundation in the comedy space, a foundation that makes HandHeld Entertainment&apos;s online comedy network one of the largest in the world in terms of unique visitors and page views.<br />
<br />
"We have more than 11,000 downloadable videos available on our network of Web sites, including more than 6,000 free user-generated videos and nearly 5,000 additional premium videos available on ZVUE.com. That, plus more than 7,000 additional premium video selections under contract, gives us a significant online library of downloadable and streaming videos available for free or for sale. These videos are not limited to PC viewing; they can also be downloaded and viewed on many portable devices, such as our own ZVUE™ personal media players, as well as on portable media players supporting (with Windows Media Player 10) or a portable device running Windows Mobile 5.0."<br />
<br />
According to HandHeld Entertainment, the company has also achieved several other objectives outlined in its November 14 investor call, including <br />
<br />
·	Creation of a HandHeld Entertainment network of Web sites focused on humorous user-generated videos (two of which are already generating advertising revenue, with the third Web site slated to begin doing so shortly);<br />
·	Delivery of ZVUE MP3 players to selected Wal-Mart and InMotion Entertainment stores throughout the United States preloaded with 30 of the top songs of 2006;<br />
·	Initial deliveries of ZVUE 250 personal media players to selected Wal-Mart stores throughout the U.S.; and<br />
·	A headcount reduction to 30 full-time equivalents (FTEs) down from 55 FTEs, excluding personnel assumed through acquisitions.<br />
<br />
"We&apos;re pleased with our progress and we&apos;re looking forward to continuing to execute on our plan," Oscodar said. <br />
<br />

      <title>HandHeld Entertainment Announces Launch of ZVUE.com/mobile</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Users of Web-enabled devices running Windows Media Player 10 Mobile can now download and watch videos from ZVUE.com or ZVUE.com/mobile</p><p>San Francisco, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 01/04/2007 --  HandHeld Entertainment™ (NASDAQ: ZVUE, ZVUEW) today announced it launched ZVUE.com/mobile™. – a micro Web site the company promised it would launch by the end of 2006. The launch of ZVUE.com/mobile makes it possible for millions of smartphone users and PocketPC users to easily download and watch videos on those devices.<br />
<br />
The ZVUE.com/mobile site contains 25 free user-generated videos that are available for downloading and playback onto a Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows 2003 device over a carrier network. In addition, anyone with a Web-enabled smartphone or PocketPC running Windows Media Player 10 Mobile can now log onto ZVUE.com/mobile from their device and download/watch one of the thousands of videos they&apos;ve already saved or purchased from ZVUE.com™. <br />
<br />
"We said we&apos;d launch a Windows Mobile 5.0 micro site by the end of the year and we did it," said Jeff Oscodar, president and chief executive officer of HandHeld Entertainment. "The ZVUE.com/mobile site makes it possible for any registered user of ZVUE.com to buy a video on a PC and then download and watch that video on a Web-enabled smartphone or PocketPC. As a result, we now have thousands of premium videos available for millions of cell phone users.<br />
<br />
"Additionally, we&apos;ve made 25 of our top user-generated videos immediately available for free download and playback on these same Web-enabled portable devices. This list of free user-generated videos available for smartphones and PocketPCs will grow weekly as we add more free videos to ZVUE.com/mobile. Viewing great user-generated videos on-the-go on mobile devices is something that we believe our users want. The generation that has made user-generated videos a huge phenomenon is also an extremely mobile generation, and we think this combination will be very compelling." <br />
<br />
Current Windows Mobile 5.0 devices with Windows Media Player 10 Mobile are available in the United States from such mobile operators as Cingular, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon, as well as from manufacturers such as Dell, Hewlett Packard, Palm, and Samsung. (For additional information about Windows Mobile 5.0, including manufacturers and mobile operators supporting the operating system, please visit www.windowsmobile.com). <br />
<br />
HandHeld Entertainment now has nearly 12,000 videos available to its users through its network of Web sites. These include premium music videos, anime features, television shows, movies, cartoons, independent films, documentaries, 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.<br />
<br />
Since premium videos found on ZVUE.com/mobile and ZVUE.com are available as Windows Media Video (WMV) files, a one-time license agreement is all that is required to play such videos on a Windows Mobile powered device with Windows Media Player 10 Mobile. Once stored on a WMP10-compatible device, these videos can be viewed again and again.<br />
<br />

      <title>HandHeld Entertainment's ZVUE 250 is Now Shipping and Available for Purchase Online and in Stores</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery and thinner/lighter design highlight new features in the next generation ZVUE that is supported with more than 5,000 premium videos available on ZVUE.com </p><p>San Francisco, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 12/20/2006 --  The ZVUE™ 250, the next generation value-priced personal media player (PMP) from HandHeld Entertainment™ (NASDAQ: ZVUE, ZVUEW), is now shipping and is available for purchase online at Amazon.com and Wal-Mart.com and in selected Wal-Mart stores throughout the United States. <br />
<br />
With a manufacturer&apos;s suggested retail price of $99.95, the entry-level ZVUE 250 PMP features a 2.5-inch active matrix backlit screen and supports videos running at up to 30 frames per second (fps). The ZVUE 250 also features a secure digital (SD) slot (and ships with a 128MB "starter" SD card), a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and is compatible with Windows Media Player 10 with Microsoft&apos;s secure Digital Rights Management (DRM) and supports both Windows Media Video (WMV) and Windows Media Audio (WMA) formats with DRM for music and video download services. In fact, the ZVUE 250 is the only PMP priced at under $200 that supports WMV with DRM. <br />
<br />
"The ZVUE 250 is our next step in creating a family of value-priced personal media players that everyone can easily afford and enjoy right out of the box," said Jeff Oscodar, president and chief executive officer of HandHeld Entertainment. "Many companies are making overpriced and overly complicated PMPs. We believe that consumers will love the fact that they can easily enjoy our durable and affordable ZVUE 250 by using our ZAPP™ Media Manager software to easily download videos from ZVUE.com™ or our new sites for hilarious user-generated content: Dorks.com™, FunMansion.com™ and YourDailyMedia.com™."<br />
<br />
Additional ZVUE 250 Specifications<br />
<br />
The ZVUE 250 utilizes a more compact and sleek design than the previous ZVUE model. Additional specifications include:<br />
<br />
·	Up to six hours of battery life on a single full charge,  <br />
·	An AC adapter to charge the device, <br />
·	Two earphone jacks to allow sharing with a friend, <br />
·	A USB port for easy uploading of digital content,<br />
·	A 90-day limited Manufacturer Warranty,<br />
·	Audio support for the following file formats for audio playback: MP3, WMV, WMA (with DRM), OGG and MP2,<br />
·	Picture support for the following file formats for image playback: JPG, BMP,<br />
·	Video support for the following file formats for video playback: AVI, ASF, Xvid, MPEG4, WMV (with DRM),<br />
·	Measurements: 4.33- x 2.91- inches x 0.8-inches, and<br />
·	Weight: Approximately 5.2 ounces.<br />
<br />
"This holiday shopping season, a lot of families will have children asking for a PMP of their own," Oscodar said. "There&apos;s no reason for families to spend hundreds of dollars for just one PMP when they can purchase the ZVUE 250 for around $100. We are committed to making our products affordable, available from retailers like Wal-Mart and Amazon.com, and thanks to our &apos;open solution&apos; approach to portable digital video with ZVUE.com, ZVUE 250 owners have access to a lot of the Web&apos;s best legal content as well."<br />
<br />
The first two independent reviews of the ZVUE 250 agree with Oscodar&apos;s assessment of the value delivered by the ZVUE 250.<br />
<br />
For example, Joe Nuvolini at ComputorEdge Online rates the ZVUE 250 at four out of five worlds and in his 12/15/06 review describes the ZVUE 250 as <br />
·	"a great gift for Christmas," <br />
·	"not complicated to use,"<br />
·	"Overall, it is a great unit," and adds<br />
·	"if you have been looking for a unit that is simple to use, you&apos;ll love it."<br />

<br />
By comparison, Sari Kent at TheCelebrityCafe.com describes the ZVUE 250 as a "video player, with a nice interface, great screen and a few other features." Kent further writes in his 12/19/06 review, "If you are in the market for an MP3 player that does more than just play music then the Zvue 250 is just what you need!"

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">FunMansion.com adds approximately 1.5 million monthly unique visitors/potential customers to HandHeld Entertainment’s growing network of Web sites 
</p><p>San Francisco, CA and Port St. Lucie, FL-- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 12/01/2006 --  HandHeld Entertainmentae (NASDAQ: ZVUE, ZVUEW) today announced it has acquired FunMansion.com™ for $1.1 million ($350,000 in cash at closing, $150,000 in cash payable over 12 months and a five-year $600,000 note convertible into common stock). <br />
<br />
FunMansion.com has averaged approximately 1.5 million unique visitors per month and more than 3.5 million page views per month during the past two months. <br />
<br />
"In a little more than two weeks, we have begun assembling a significant collection of user-generated video content by acquiring Dorks.com™ and FunMansion.com," said Jeff Oscodar, president and chief executive officer of HandHeld Entertainment. "The FunMansion.com acquisition takes us to potentially 2.5 million unique visitors per month, with a combined total of more than 5.4 million page views per month, all tied to the comedy/extreme marketplace. We believe that these funny user-generated and user-submitted videos, photos, jokes and more tend to attract demographics that will be attractive to advertisers and sponsors. We also believe that the combination of ZVUE.com&apos;s commercial content, coupled with our rapidly growing library of user generated content from Dorks.com, FunMansion.com and ZVUE.com&apos;s own FREE Stuff! site, will be a powerful combination for our company."  <br />
<br />
HandHeld Entertainment&apos;s user-generated Web properties – Dorks.com, FunMansion.com and FREE Stuff! – now attract nearly 2.5 million unique visitors each month, particularly in the comedy/extreme space. In addition, HandHeld Entertainment announced earlier in November a content agreement with Comedy Time Network to make hundreds of hours of stand-up comedy routines and sketches available for purchase at ZVUE.com. Taken in combination, these two acquisitions and the Comedy Time agreement have helped transform HandHeld Entertainment into a leading provider of comedic/humorous videos for both portable video players and PCs.<br />

Representative of the humorous user-generated and user-submitted videos posted recently on FunMansion.com are the following:<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Manufacturers must support Windows Media Video with Digital Rights Management</p><p>San Francisco, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 09/13/2006 --  With one of the largest libraries of purchasable digital videos on the &apos;Net, HandHeld Entertainment announces plans to re-brand and re-launch ZVUE.com to better position the online video download store as the "online video source for PVP owners looking to expand their digital video collections"<br />
<br />
"All portable video players should have a complete content solution." That&apos;s the message coming from HandHeld Entertainment(TM) today as the company invites all manufacturers of portable video players that support Windows Media Video with Digital Rights Management to partner with HandHeld in delivering a growing library of digital videos to PVP owners everywhere.<br />
<br />
"Consumers purchasing any PVP, whether made by Archos, Creative, iRiver, Samsung, Sony, Thomson, HandHeld or any other manufacturer, should receive a complete content solution with their device," said Jeff Oscodar, president and chief executive officer of HandHeld Entertainment. "We provide that solution to both to PVP manufacturers and to end-users. This step marks the beginning of the second phase of our business strategy."<br />
<br />
In connection with today&apos;s invitation, HandHeld Entertainment also announces plans to re-brand and re-launch ZVUE.com to better position the online video download store as "the online video source for all PVP owners looking to expand their digital video collections," and not just our ZVUEs.<br />
<br />
Since 2004, HandHeld Entertainment (NASDAQ: ZVUE - News, ZVUEU - News) has been aggregating content aimed at playback on its $99 value-priced ZVUE(TM) portable media player. The company says today that this library is open to all PVPs from all manufacturers and not just its ZVUE products.<br />
<br />
"Instead of locking in PVP end-users to our content site and locking out other PVP manufacturers, we&apos;re taking an open approach with ZVUE.com," Oscodar said. "With all deference to Apple Computer and its closed iPod/iTunes system, the Internet is all about open standards and making content available to as many people possible wherever they might be with whatever device they choose to use. That&apos;s why we are formally inviting any and all PVP owners to come to our site and manufacturers that support the Windows Media Video standard with DRM to work with us to provide their customers with a complete content solution.<br />
<br />
Currently, HandHeld Entertainment has more than 10,000 pieces of video content under contract and more than 3,000 video selections live on ZVUE.com today available for immediate purchase and download. As such, HandHeld Entertainment has aggregated one of the largest libraries on the Internet of purchasable videos that can play on multiple portable video players, as well as on personal computers.<br />
<br />
"We have already amassed a large video library, and we intend to build it into the online video source for PVP owners looking to expand their digital video collections," Oscodar said. "Along these lines, we will continue to aggregate the most relevant video content for PVPs. More importantly, these videos are already compatible with devices made by Thomson, Sony, Samsung, iRiver, Creative, Archos and many, many other manufacturers. Because of our open approach, owners of these devices can already use our video download store.<br />
<br />
"So we invite you to join with us in making your end-users&apos; experiences even easier and more enjoyable. All portable video players should have a complete content solution. Call us. Let&apos;s talk."<br />
