NEW ZOOMBAK UNIVERSAL A-GPS LOCATOR GOES NATIONAL WITH PEP BOYS
Rollout to Nearly 600 Stores Nationwide Supports Back-to-School Availability
Zoombak (www.zoombak.com), a Liberty Media (NASDAQ: LCAPA)
company, today announced that it will be shipping its latest product,
the Zoombak(TM) Universal A-GPS Locator to 591 Pep Boys
(www.pepboys.com) locations nationwide just in time for the
Back-to-School buying season.
The Zoombak Universal A-GPS Locator is the newest member of
Zoombak's portfolio of A-GPS locators which includes the Zoombak(TM)
Advanced GPS Car & Family Locator and the Zoombak(TM) Advanced GPS Dog
Locator. Small enough to be placed in a car, backpack or briefcase and
easily attached to a bicycle or dog's collar, Zoombak combines the
coverage of cellular networks and the power of global positioning
satellites to provide consumers with the most accurate, real-time
location information available.
"We are pleased that Pep Boys has chosen the Zoombak Universal
A-GPS Locator to expand its in-car electronics offerings, joining our
growing list of retail partners who recognize the value of providing
customers with innovative solutions," said Simon Buckingham, CEO of
Zoombak. "For parents of teen drivers, or any car owner looking for
added safety and security, Zoombak provides peace of mind by allowing
them to know where their vehicle is in real-time, 24 hours a day, 7
days a week."
Zoombak provides consumers with the ability to stay connected to
the things that matter most. Using Zoombak's interactive website,
customers can set up custom safety zones around virtually any location
including homes, parks, malls and schools. When the device crosses one
of the virtual boundaries, a text message or email alert promptly
notifies users of the location of the device. Users can also pinpoint
their Zoombak's location at any time on-demand from both their mobile
phone and zoombak.com.
Starting at an affordable price of $199 plus a low cost monthly
service plan, Zoombak is the only A-GPS locator technology already
available nationwide at leading consumer electronics, specialty pet
and automotive retailers including Circuit City, PetSmart, Al & Ed's
Autosound, Amazon.com and BestBuy.com.
