GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Sept. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
BestNet Communications Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: BESC) a provider of patented
Internet based communications today announced a partnership with Zero Gravity
Wireless, a provider of wireless communication services for businesses
throughout Canada. Zero Gravity will embed BestNet Software into the
Handspring Treo 180 and 270 Communicators, which combines a Palm OS organizer
and a portable cellular telephone.
Bob Blanchard CEO of BestNet, stated "Our product is perfectly aligned
with Zero Gravity's market, which targets small, medium and enterprise
businesses. The Treo Communicator is widely acclaimed for its convergence of
Palm applications, web browsing, email and phone capabilities. With the
addition of BestNet's services, any Treo user will be able to initiate and
control a conference call with up to 65 participants, at a price-point that is
significantly lower than services offered by traditional telecos. In
addition, since the Treo is a true world-phone using GSM / GPRS technology,
BestNet can offer Zero Gravity customers low-cost long distance which can be
initiated anywhere around the globe." He added, "The markets for this type of
device are just being established, however we believe that proving BestNet's
technology with mobile users in Canada will translate into new opportunities,
including key wireless companies in the U.S."
Zero Gravity will also be an agent of BestNet selling to additional
companies, individuals and value added re-sellers within their network.
BestNet will install their "click to talk" service allowing Zero Gravity's
subscribers to initiate a call by simply clicking the icon. BestNet and Zero
Gravity will co-market the product through their respective marketing
initiatives that will include technology shows and conferences. Information
regarding the service is available at http://www.zerogravity.net
Glenn Kemp, Vice President of Zero Gravity, commented, "We were truly
impressed with the BestNet application for the Palm and Pocket PC operating
systems. With cellular and PDA device convergence finally becoming reality,
BestNet is well positioned to take advantage of the voice and data
capabilities of our products, including the Handspring Treo 180 and 270. This
is really a 'must have' application for mobile road warriors."
