Press Release Body: NEW YORK–September 8, 2008—VringoTM, the leader in visual
ringtone sharing, is working with mobile content pioneer Comedy Time to bring a new
format to the world of stand-up comedy: the video ringtone. Through the
partnership, Vringo users will have free access to a collection of bite-sized
stand-up performances.

“In establishing the video ringtone category, Vringo is helping to redefine
expectations for how we consume video content,” said Vringo General Manager and
Senior VP–Content & Community Andrew Perlman. “As one of the first exclusively
mobile content networks, Comedy Time has shared a similar vision, which makes our
partnership with them truly exciting.”

Founded by entertainment industry veterans David Goldman and Michael Goldman, Comedy
Time is the global market leader in original comedy content created specifically for
wireless handsets. In the U.S., Comedy Time reaches more than 3,500,000 subscribers
through distributors like Sprint, VCAST, Cingular, MobiTV, Alltel and U.S. Wireless.
Through its partnership with Vringo, Comedy Time has added a collection of stand-up
comedy-focused video ringtones to Vringo’s extensive catalog of free content.

Vringo lets users set their own visual or video ringtone and choose the video,
avatar, slide show or picture they want their friends to see when they call. Users
can choose content from a variety of sources to create their “ Vringos,” including
Vringo’s own large collection of premium content licensed from TV, video and music
clips. They can create content themselves using their phone’s camera. Or they can
import content from Vringo partner sites, such as those announced today, or from
other Vringo partners, including Turner Broadcasting System, Saturday Night Live and
Agence France Presse. In fact, content can be imported from almost anywhere on the
Web.

Users can join for free to download and begin sharing rich media clips with friends.
Vringos can be shared with any subscriber in the Vringo community with a compatible
wireless phone. Vringo operates on the largest global mobile platforms (Symbian,
Windows Mobile and Java), as well as some Palm devices.
