ZOMM Begins Shipping World's First Bluetooth Wireless Leash for Mobile Phones
The small, lightweight ZOMM device prevents phone loss, while providing hands-free communications and emergency calling capabilities


TULSA, OK, June 03, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- ZOMM, the world's first wireless leash for mobile phones, today announces that the CES award-winning device is now shipping to consumers. Using Bluetooth technology, the keychain-sized ZOMM prevents users from losing or misplacing their cell phone by vibrating, flashing and sounding an alarm every time users walk too far away from their phone. With added features of call notification, fully functional speakerphone with a noise-canceling microphone and personal safety device, ZOMM is the ultimate, multi-functional accessory for any Bluetooth-enabled phone. To purchase a ZOMM, visit http://store.zomm.com/.

"ZOMM fills a tremendous void in the marketplace," said Henry Penix, CEO and co-founder of ZOMM. "Everyone can relate to either losing or forgetting their cell phone, therefore we created ZOMM to help prevent people from experiencing the exasperating and expensive process of getting a replacement. And it's not just the phone - it's the pictures, contacts and other personal information that's so important."

With call notification, ZOMM will flash, vibrate and sound an alert for incoming calls when the phone is out of site - in a purse, gym bag or briefcase. The fully functioning speakerphone features a built-in noise-cancelling microphone that allows users to answer calls with their ZOMM with just one press of a button. To send calls to voicemail, users simply press the multifunction button on the ZOMM twice.

As a personal safety device and only one press of a button, ZOMM enables users to sound a panic alarm deterring "would be" attackers and notifying others nearby that they are in distress. By continuing to hold the multifunction button through the alarm, ZOMM will call local emergency assistance from anywhere in the world using the user's mobile phone signal. Help is always just one button press away with ZOMM.

"ZOMM not only protects your mobile phone and the personal information kept on that device, but it can also help keep you and your family safe," said Laurie Penix, ZOMM's co-founder. "With kids in college, it gives me peace of mind to know they have a panic alarm that will thwart a would-be attacker, and the ability to call for emergency assistance in any situation."

The lithium-ion battery in the ZOMM will last up to three days with normal usage before needing to be recharged with the included micro USB wall charger. ZOMM also comes with a micro USB cord that connects to any computer for charging the battery, activation and firmware updates, and an optional belt clip for additional functionality.

ZOMM is available online at zomm.com and Amazon.com for $79.99 in both black and white color options and will be in-store at popular retailers in the coming weeks. To purchase a ZOMM, or for additional information, visit http://store.zomm.com/.
