Zipit Wireless has announced the online availability of its sleek and portable Wireless Messenger 2 device, also known as Z2. This gadget allows the user to conveniently access Instant Messaging (IM) without connecting to the computer.
Winner of the 2007 DigitalLife Best of Show award for portable gear, this easy-to-use Z2 boasts to be the only device of its kind that ensures wireless IM connectivity with zero monthly or per message charge. It is compatible with major IM platforms such as AOL, Yahoo and MSN.
The MyTunez feature helps the owner to play music while IMing through a fully capable music play. You can also store MP3 music on an optional mini-SD card or access radio that is streamed from the Internet. The integrated MyPhotoz feature enables photo viewing and sldieshows.
“IMing is the dominant form of electronic communication for teens. A recent AP article cited the unique, conversational aspects of IMing that continue to drive teen usage and also stated that one in 10 teens spend three or more hours a day sending instant messages to their friends. The Z2 provides teens with an immersive, yet affordable way to IM their friends without the hassles and limitations of the home computer. We are very excited that the Z2 is now ready for purchase at our Web site. By ordering the Z2 online now, teens can stay connected to all their friends just in time for the busy holiday season,” said Frank Greer, CEO and president of Zipit Wireless Inc.
Users can also customize the background and themes that are available for immediate download from the Zipit’s official website. Additionally, consumers can also play IM-themed games and create ‘Zipitpedia’, an online dictionary, delivering the latest translations for IM lingo.
Zipit Wireless Messenger 2 also allows parents to remotely control the access of the device through a web portal. Available for $150 (approx. Rs. 6,000), Z2 is an ideal device to stay in touch with friends and families while on the run.
