LONDON, January 20 - Vlingo, the maker of the world's most popular mobile voice application

Vlingo users can simply talk to their mobile phone to instantly send a
text or an email message, call a friend, create a note to themselves, update
their Facebook or Twitter status or search the web with ease by saying what
they want - such as "find a Pizza Express in Hampton Court".*

Nokia users in the UK and Europe have been using Vlingo since a September
2009 launch in the Ovi store by Nokia in English, Italian, Spanish and
German.

Vlingo users are proving that voice interfaces are critical for mobile
devices. "The number of mobile applications in the market today has increased
dramatically in the past year," says Ashley Griffiths, VP EMEA, Vlingo.
"Vlingo allows users to discover and use these applications with ease and we
believe this is what has driven such quick adoption in the UK".

The free version of Vlingo allows users to employ voice commands to:

    - Open third party and native applications such as camera and
      calendar
    - Make a call
    - Search the Web
    - Create notes to self
    - Update Facebook or Twitter statuses (depending on handset)

The paid version of Vlingo, Vlingo Plus allows users to send unlimited
text and email messages. Users can upgrade to Vlingo plus (enhanced
functionality) for a one off fee. Pricing information can be found at
www.vlingo.com.

With Vlingo, users do not need to change how they speak or memorize a
list of commands. They simply say what they want, how they want, and Vlingo
captures the results - word for word, almost instantaneously. The most
accurate system of its type on the market gets even better as more users join
the community. Vlingo gives users the ability to freely mix typing and
talking with no limits on what they can say.
