LOS ANGELES, CA — March 26, 2007 — Introducing Ocean™, the world’s first dual-slider combining a traditional numeric keypad and a separate full QWERTY keyboard in a single device. Designed to be the ultimate social networking tool, Ocean merges Instant Messages, text messages, picture messages and emails from all the major portals, ISPs and even corporate Exchange servers, in one location. A 3G media and content powerhouse, Ocean also delivers full over-the-air music downloads, video-on-demand, a high-resolution camera, an HTML browser, MySpace on Helio, GPS-enabled Google Maps™ for mobile, Buddy Beacon™ and much more.

“Finally, you don’t have to choose between a device that’s good for talking but a nightmare for messaging, or one that’s good at messaging but feels like you’re holding a brick up to your face when you try to make a call,” said Sky Dayton, CEO of Helio. “With Ocean, Helio has changed the shape of 3G with a new kind of device - the dual slide - a design that doesn’t compromise on voice, text, IM, email, surfing, and every other way you want to stay connected.”

“We started working on Ocean before Helio was officially a company,” said Dr. Wonhee Sull, President & COO of Helio. “We envisioned our ultimate device, what future customers would want to carry, and with our company’s unique technology and design assets, we created a form factor and an experience that’s a world’s first. Ocean is the result of the passionate dedication and hard work of countless innovative Helio employees and technology partners.”
