During a press conference held today at IFA 2006 fair in
Berlin ComBOTS AG (GER:CMBT)(ISIN:DE000CMBT111) announced that is
has closed its first license agreements, partnering with New Line
Cinema ("The Lord of the Rings"), Paws ("Garfield") and United Media
("Peanuts").
For ComBOTS users, the new characters will be available through the ComBOTS online shop from later this year, ready to use in their personal digital communication. High quality 3D animations like greetings by Frodo, a purring Garfield or a sad Charlie Brown will help users to express themselves and to share emotions. Furthermore ComBOTS users can gather friends as animated avatars like Aragon, Legolas or Snoopy on their desktop. And they may choose to appear with these characters on their friends screens.
The Internet-based communication solution ComBOTS (www.combots.com) has been available as Public Beta Version for anyone since the opening day of IFA (see press release from September1, 2006).
ComBOTS is an internet-based service that leaves behind all the complexity of existing applications including installation- and compatibility problems, complicated user interfaces, the necessity of spam protection. The new product puts simplicity, fun and privacy back into everybody's personal digital communication.
Using intuitive Drag & Drop operation, a top-design straightforward user interface, hiding the all powerful technology under the surface, ComBOTS brings back fun into communication through permanent and private one to one connections to friends and family. Each of these connections is represented by a high quality 3D character with animated emotions that make icons, smilies or greeting cards look outdated.
The existing ComBOTS collections of characters, designed by famous studios, will now be joined by popular international characters, known from movies, TV and comics. These characters are now set to enter internet-based personal digital communication for the very first time, thanks to ComBOTS high quality graphics and animations.
"Partnering with New Line Cinema, Paws and United Media we have been able to convince three of the most famous global licence providers of our product", says a delighted Michael Greve, Founder and Chairman of ComBOTS AG: "With heroes from the blockbusting 'The Lord of the Rings' movie and long-established favorites such as Garfield & Peanuts we will attract a wide audience of all ages."
