HandHeld Entertainment's Expanding Video Download Store Continues to Give ZVUE Users More Titles to Choose From

SAN FRANCISCO & THE LAKES, Nev., Mar 14, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- HandHeld Entertainment(TM) (OTC BB: HNDH) announced today it has licensed more than 1,500 feature films and television programs from Worldvision Cinema for digital distribution and download through ZTV(TM), HandHeld Entertainment's digital download store at www.ZVUE.com for play on its ZVUE(TM) portable media players.

Out of the 1,500 Worldvision Cinema films and television shows that will be available for download at www.zvue.com/downloads in ZVUE-ready format, more than 50 are available for immediate download today, and HandHeld Entertainment plans to add more Worldvision Cinema titles to ZTV each week. Worldvision Cinema's movie library showcases early performances by many of today's Hollywood stars, including performances by Jackie Chan, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Demi Moore, John Wayne and W.C. Fields as well as classic films from Alfred Hitchcock.

"By adding 1,500 full-length films and television programs to the ZVUE.com download library, ZVUE users have a continually growing number of movie and video downloads to choose from for on-the-go viewing," said Jeff Oscodar, chief executive officer and president of HandHeld Entertainment. "The video and audio content available for download at ZVUE.com is expanding rapidly to continue to give ZVUE users more choices when it comes to their video viewing tastes."

The Worldvision Cinema partnership comes on the heels of recent HandHeld Entertainment announcements, including acquiring comedic movies from Fun Little Movies, extreme sports videos from TotalVid, independent films from StoryPIPE.com and classic TV programs and cartoons from LikeTelevision.

"It's a pleasure to supply our favorite portable video player with the means to satisfy both the insatiable appetite for entertainment and the demands of the ZVUE film buff," said Shelly Jacobs, representative for Worldvision Cinema Inc. "We have the classic and cult feature titles that film buffs are looking for, many of which were produced for a gone, yet still cherished, institution - the drive-in theater."

Available today in more than 1,800 Wal-Mart stores around the United States, the $99 ZVUE plays videos and MP3 files available from the ZVUE.com download store and also lets users view digital pictures from a digital camera or home video from a camcorder. The ZVUE offers full-color video and clear audio sound that gives users a robust, on-the-go digital experience when coupled with downloadable content from the ZVUE Web site.
