HandHeld Entertainment’s growing comedy/humor network of user-generated and user-submitted Web sites – YourDailyMedia.com, Dorks.com, FunMansion.com and Free STUFF! – generates one of the largest online audiences in the funny bone marketplace

San Francisco, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/19/2006 --HandHeld Entertainmentä (NASDAQ: ZVUE, ZVUEW) today announced it has acquired YourDailyMedia.com™ for $1.06 million ($200,000 in cash payable in January 2007, $60,000 in cash payable during the next 12 months and a five-year $800,000 note which can be converted into 186,306 shares of HandHeld Entertainment’s common stock).

In the past 35 days, HandHeld Entertainment has acquired three leading Web site properties focused on delivering funny and humorous videos and other forms of media to customers for free. In combination, these three sites – YourDailyMedia.com, Dorks.com™ and FunMansion.com™, along with the Free STUFF! section of ZVUE.com™ – are expected to attract more than 5 million unique visitors in December.

“The acquisition of YourDailyMedia.com is a great addition to our growing online network of comedy/humorous Web sites that contain lots of user-generated and user-submitted videos and other media,” said Jeff Oscodar, president and chief executive officer of HandHeld Entertainment. “We now have a solid foundation in the comedy space, a foundation that makes HandHeld Entertainment’s online comedy network one of the largest in the world in terms of unique visitors and page views. But we do not intend to rest on our laurels.

“We have already begun executing our plans to maximize these assets through improved and accelerated advertising and marketing efforts, cross-promotional opportunities and building one of the best networks for online comedy in the world. We will continue to look for opportunities to maximize shareholder and customer value through our complete personal media solutions, whether that’s for owners of our ZVUE™ personal media players, owners of other brands of PMPs or cell phones, or for users of our premium media Web site, ZVUE.com, or any of our free Web sites, such as YourDailyMedia.com.”

“As I came to understand HandHeld Entertainment’s vision, I thought it was absolutely brilliant, and I knew YourDailyMedia.com should be a key component that vision,” said Scott Worsnop, founder of YourDailyMedia.com. “My initial goal was to build a site that people everywhere would think of as their daily media fix for fun and edgy videos and other stuff. By becoming part of HandHeld’s online comedy network, I’m confident that we will be able to grow our reach and penetration to comedy lovers everywhere.”

With the acquisition of YourDailyMedia.com, HandHeld Entertainment now has nearly 11,000 videos available to its users through its network of Web sites.
