ZOMM Wins About.com Reader's Choice Award for Best Mobile Accessory

Consumers vote the world's first Wireless Leash for mobile phones as most innovative accessory

LONDON, ENGLAND, April 09, 2011

ZOMM, LLC (www.ZOMM.co.uk), a global technology company and developer of the world's first Wireless Leash for mobile phones, announces its selection as first place winner in the 2011 About.com Reader's Choice Awards. Chosen by About.com readers, ZOMM is recognised as the most innovative mobile accessory in the Mobile Office Technology category.

Using Bluetooth technology, the keychain-sized ZOMM prevents users from losing or misplacing their mobile phone by vibrating, flashing lights and sounding an alarm when they separate from their phone. With added features of call notification, a fully functional speakerphone for hands-free communication and emergency-services calling capabilities, ZOMM is the ultimate multi-functional accessory for any Bluetooth-enabled phone.

After thousands of global nominations from About.com readers were received for their favorite mobile office products and services, five finalists were chosen in the category by About.com staff. Readers then voted online for the one winner among the finalists, where ZOMM received 51 percent of the total votes as the choice mobile accessory.

"We are proud to have been chosen as the best mobile accessory by such a respected media outlet as About.com and the fact it was voted for by the public means even more," Henry Penix, CEO of ZOMM, LLC. "As ZOMM continues its global expansion, we're excited to unveil new products and services that will make 2011 a stellar year."

Since winning the "Best of Innovation" award at the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show, the company has gone from strength to strength, launching the world's first Wireless Leash for mobile phones in the UK earlier this year. Rapidly expanding its product line, global presence and technology applications, the Wireless Leash is the first of the dynamic company's portfolio of products to launch.
