HandHeld Entertainment Continues to Expand its European Presence with the Acquisition of Holylemon.com



    HandHeld Entertainment (NASDAQ:ZVUE), a global digital-media-to-go
    company, today announced the acquisition of Holylemon.com(TM), an
    acquisition that continues to solidify HandHeld's position as one of
    the largest online providers of user generated content in the European
    market.

    Holylemon.com, which is currently generating positive cash flow
    through the placement of online banner and skyscraper ad sales,
    features user-submitted and user-generated videos, pictures and games,
    and attracted more than 1.1 million unique visitors in March 2007.
    More than 32 percent of Holylemon.com's visitors in March were based
    in Europe, while more than 55 percent of the European totals were
    generated by visitors from the United Kingdom.

    Holylemon.com is an editor-directed Web site focused on
    user-generated media that is highly optimized for search engine
    queries, consistently ranking in the top two organic search results on
    Google for the term "funny videos." Launched in March 2003,
    Holylemon.com has had more than 26 million page views since January 1,
    2007.

    "HandHeld continues to acquire great Web sites such as Holylemon
    as a part of our strategy to focus on the significant growth
    opportunities within the European market," said Jeff Oscodar,
    president and chief executive officer of HandHeld Entertainment. "This
    acquisition represents another step toward becoming the leading
    provider of great online videos and digital content to our target
    customers, 18-35 year-old consumers in the United States and Europe.
    We now have four of the top seven sites on Google when users search
    for the term 'funny videos.' Our four Web sites focusing on the
    European audience make HandHeld a top provider of user-generated
    comedy content in the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe."

    "Holylemon.com is already a leading aggregator for funny videos on
    the Internet," said Kieran O'Neill, founder of Holylemon.com. "By
    joining the HandHeld Entertainment network of Web sites, we are able
    to provide hours of amusement for an even larger audience. The
    entertaining videos found on Holyemon.com are the perfect fit for
    those users who already frequent the HandHeld network of Web sites. By
    joining the HandHeld team, we are able to bridge the gap between
    American and European video sites to provide leading creative content
    for users across the globe."

    HandHeld's Web sites provide an array of video content including
    premium music videos, anime features, television shows, movies,
    cartoons, independent films and documentaries, as well as news,
    entertainment and sports programs from a range of media outlets such
    as Sony BMG, IMG Media, Canadian Broadcasting Corp. and Fun Little
    Movies. HandHeld's network also offers free, user-generated and
    user-submitted videos and other forms of media. In addition, customers
    can select from millions of songs available through HandHeld
    Entertainment's relationships with music services eMusic and Rhapsody.

    HandHeld's network of Web sites hosts more than 500,000 videos
    available for online viewing, many of which are executable on a
    personal video player such as HandHeld Entertainment's ZVUE(TM) brand
    personal media player (PMP), and other brands of PMPs.
