Mountain View, Calif. and New York, NY – September 21, 2005
– PeerMe, Inc. (www.peerme.com), a peer-to-peer voice communications
technology company, today introduced its first beta product that
provides free, unlimited, voice and instant message communications
for Internet users. In addition, PeerMe and Boonty, the world leader
in downloadable digital games, today announced the first of a series
of
PeerMe games channels.
The PeerMe Games channels will feature thousands of games, ring
tones and other downloadable consumer products for PC, mobile and
handheld platforms. The initial PeerMe Games channel is available
in English and supports the immediate delivery of PC games world-wide.
Leveraging technology developed by Boonty, customers will be
able to evaluate PC games from more than 100 publishers before purchasing.
Upon the expiration of the trial period, the program will run only
if the license is purchased.
PeerMe has developed
a peer-to-peer voice and instant messaging environment supporting
PC-to-PC and PC-to-handheld voice communications and instant messaging
over public Internet connections. PeerMe’s technology can
be used independently by
users connecting on a peer-to-peer basis or integrated into Web
communities bringing a new generation of interactive connectivity
to users. Users have the ability to interact with their own communities
and will have access to a wide range of content and products through
PeerMe channels. English, Japanese and Korean language versions
are now available for download through the company’s Web or
from hundreds of software download Web sites available worldwide.
PeerMe users will be able to interact free with anyone around the
world using their computer and Internet connection.
"We are
excited to launch in the U.S. and partner with the global leader
in Web-based downloadable games distribution to introduce our games
channel,” said Tom Lasater, PeerMe’s founder and CEO.
“Our vision to voice-enable the Internet is now a reality.
Our users are able to communicate within their own communities,
test and
purchase thousands of downloadable products, and communicate with
their friends about these products while online through our peer-to-peer
voice product.”
“Partnering
with PeerMe is a natural fit for Boonty,” said Romain Nouzareth,
co-founder and CEO of Boonty Inc. “Boonty’s strength
is in delivering the broadest selection of downloadable games across
an international offering of languages. Partners, such as PeerMe,
focus on delivering a compelling online environment where users
spend a significant amount of time, and together we provide a platform
where
gamers can evaluate and purchase games, online in real-time.”
Over the coming
months, PeerMe will introduce a series of new offerings designed
to support the company’s goal of voice-enabled content and
applications on the Internet.
