WeBot Adds Video Support, Delivers Complete Media Access for Mobile Devices at CES

    LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- WeBot, a service that lets users play
personal media from their computers anywhere on the Internet, today
announced the addition of video to the service. The company launched its
new functionality on the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet at the Consumer
Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

    "This release continues WeBot's vision of what we call Unlimited Media:
Any content, from anywhere, in any format, to any device," said David
Gottesman, WeBot's CEO. "The Nokia Internet Tablet is a great example of
how cutting-edge mobile technology and innovative services can work
together to deliver outstanding consumer experiences."

    For the launch of the video functionality, WeBot created a custom-built
interface that showcases the Nokia Internet Tablet's advanced features. The
new video capabilities integrate with existing music, playlist, and photo
album support.

    "There has been an explosion of personal content in the past three
years, but the industry hasn't kept up with adoption," said Christopher
Amen-Kroeger, WeBot's CTO. "As a result, we have islands of media -- songs,
videos, pictures -- scattered across multiple machines, disorganized, and
uncontrolled. WeBot was started in order to fix this problem."

    WeBot is demonstrating the video capability, along with new features
like Live Digital Picture Frames, in the Nokia tent (booth #30313) at CES.
