Thinking Materials and VeriTouch to Deliver Revolutionary Wireless Media Player

 For Immediate Release

 Stockholm, Sweden - 19 March 2003

 Thinking Materials AB (http://www.thinkingmaterials.com), the Swedish wearable computing design house, has announced the formation of a joint-venture with New York based VeriTouch Ltd. (http://www.veritouch.com) to produce the world’s first biometrically secured wireless, hand held receiver/player for delivery of digital entertainment including video, music, and online games.

 The Personal Media Player™ will feature advanced biometric encryption technology from VeriTouch enabling vaulted security of full length digital motion pictures and digital music files transmitted to the device.  The device will also feature a UXGA active matrix color screen and a unique wireless headset that allows remote control of the Player.

Customers will select and download digital entertainment selections on a subscription basis from wireless service providers, using their fingerprint with an onboard sensor to unlock and playback the files in real time.  The Personal Media Player features a unique MediaVault™ design that prevents any file from being extracted from the device’s hard disk.

Thinking Materials, a world leader in the design of personal technology including wearable hybrid computing devices and mobile phone handsets, is designing the Personal Media Player as a highly portable digital cinema and music library playback system.

CEO Christian Bartholdsson stated, “Digital distribution of movies and music is something that clearly a lot of people are interested in. The Personal Media Player offers a unique and useful solution for the film and music industries, their distributors and customers. We look forward to work with VeriTouch bringing this product to the market”.

VeriTouch CEO Gary E. Brant added, “We are very pleased for the support of our world class partner in this project, Thinking Materials AB.  The Personal Media Player is the result of more than four years of research to innovate a robust security platform for wireless distribution of film, music, and gaming entertainment. A true breakthrough, the system is the first delivery of advanced biometric and military-grade encryption technologies in a consumer product.”
