NEW YORK (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) August 13, 2008 --
Zoombak (www.zoombak.com), a
Liberty Media (NASDAQ: LCAPA) company, today announced that it will be
shipping its latest product, the Zoombak™
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™
Advanced GPS Car & Family Locator and the Zoombak™
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.
