'Divas' Find MP101 Wireless Digital Music Player in Gift Bags at Benefit Concert
SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NETGEAR, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTGR - News), a worldwide provider of technologically advanced, branded networking products, today announced that the NETGEAR MP101 Wireless Digital Music Player will be among the ultra-hip products in the exclusive gift bags presented to participants of the seventh annual "VH1 Divas" concert on Sunday, April 18th at 9:00 pm ET/PT benefiting the Save the Music Foundation.
The "VH1 Divas" concert will air live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas with performances by Patti Labelle, Jessica Simpson, Ashanti, Eve, Tom Jones, Cyndi Lauper, Gladys Knight, Debbie Harry, Joss Stone and The Pussycat Dolls featuring Carmen Electra. Usher, Tyra Banks, Nia Vardalos, Rebecca Romjin Stamos, Mischa Barton, Jessica Alba, and Darryl Hannah will also appear. Each VIP will be treated to a NETGEAR MP101 in appreciation for their support.
"We're very excited to have NETGEAR's MP101 wireless digital music player included in this year's 'Divas' benefit," said David James, NETGEAR's product manager for the MP101. "We developed the MP101 because we wanted people to be able to enjoy digital music throughout their homes on their existing stereos instead of being chained to their PCs. We're glad to be able to contribute to this worthwhile charity in our small way."
VH1's "Divas" specials raise funds for the VH1 Save The Music Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring instrumental music programs in America's public schools and to raising awareness of the positive impact that music participation has on students. More than $25 million worth of musical instruments has been donated to 1000 public schools in 80 cities.
NETGEAR's MP101 Wireless Digital Music Player is the industry's first affordable and easy to use wireless network adapter for home stereos, resulting in a whole-home "wireless hi-fi" experience. The MP101 connects any stereo system in the household to the wired or wireless home network, enabling consumers to enjoy their collection of digital music files stored on any PC from the comfort of any room in the home. Besides music files, the MP101 streams RealNetworks' Rhapsody(TM) Internet jukebox service, which offers music lovers legal access to 620,000 songs.
Compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g wireless networks, the MP101 features an antenna to enable an Internet connection to the home network at one end, and connects to the audio input jacks of any stereo system at the other end. The MP101's remote control and its large built-in LCD display enables users to select the desired playlist of MP3 and Windows Media format music files stored on any networked PCs, sending the music directly to the stereo speakers.
Backed by a one-year warranty and 24/7 technical support, the NETGEAR MP101 Wireless Digital Music Player is available at the NETGEAR online store (www.buynetgear.com) and through leading retailers and e-commerce sites for an estimated U.S. street price of $149. Included with the purchase of the MP101 is a 30-day free trial to RealNetworks' Rhapsody Internet jukebox service.
