Business Wire, Nov 3, 2005

TORONTO -- Starting today, Zoom and Go.com, the multi-media website featuring traveler videos and in-depth hotel reviews, will make its entire library of video clips available to Apple video iPod users. With a collection of approximately 10,000 high-quality videos, Zoom And Go.com boasts the Internet's largest collection of video clips shot by travelers around the world.

"We're the only consumer travel site offering this kind of rich media content," said Jonathan Haldane, CEO and founder of Zoom And Go.com. "With the new video iPod and Zoom and Go's unique content, travelers can create a portable and personalized video travel guide for any destination.

"Wherever you're heading, you can download dozens of Zoom and Go clips onto your iPod, so other travelers can give you face-to-face advice on where to stay and what to do before you go, or even while you're walking the city's streets," Haldane said.

Zoom and Go.com is the first website delivering its complete video collection to iPod users. Current clips range from on-camera hotel reviews and insider advice about tourist attractions to tips from travelers on-camera about the best hotel beds and finding bargains overseas. Zoom And Go will have video for most major destinations and hotels by the end of this year.

Users can download Zoom And Go videos onto their iPods by clicking on the Download to iPod link beside each clip.

Travelers can upload their videos from digital cameras or digital video cameras and have other travelers watch them on their iPods. The most popular traveler videos can be played here: http://www.ZoomAndGo.com/popularvideos
