BEDMINSTER, NJ and SAN DIEGO, 14 March 2005 – Digital Orchid, the industry’s leading innovator in the development, management, and distribution of branded real time wireless applications, and Verizon Wireless, the nation’s leading wireless service provider, today announced the availability of NASCAR.com TO GO content on Verizon Wireless’ V CAST wireless broadband multimedia service. V CAST from Verizon Wireless is the first 3G wireless broadband consumer service in the country, allowing customers to view crystal clear short content on demand and 3D games because it runs on Verizon Wireless’ Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) network – the only widely available wide-area wireless broadband network in the United States. The V CAST coverage area, which mirrors Verizon Wireless’ EV-DO network, is available more than 30 major metropolitan markets and covers more than 75 million people.

“We are ecstatic to provide Verizon Wireless V CAST customers with some of the most exciting sports content to date,” said Chris Duggan, president of Digital Orchid. “Verizon Wireless has taken a quantum leap in providing compelling content to their wireless customers and the quality of the V CAST service enables us to deliver unsurpassed, high quality NASCAR.com TO GO video clips to mobile customers.”

For $15.00 monthly access added to their Verizon Wireless calling plan, customers get the V CAST VPak that includes unlimited access to a wide array of more than 300 daily updated video clips from leading content providers, including NASCAR.com TO GO. Unlimited basic video clips are included, but application download fees will still apply for 3D games, premium video clips and all other Get It Now® applications. There are no airtime charges to download or stream and watch NASCAR.com TO GO video clips and other V CAST content. For a limited time, customers who sign up for V CAST will receive two months of service free. Verizon Wireless V CAST customers also receive monthly access and unlimited browsing on Verizon Wireless’ Mobile Web 2.0SM news and information service. In addition, customers can choose from premium video clip content, available at additional cost that includes music videos and more. With Windows Media delivering NASCAR.com TO GO content to V CAST phones, Verizon Wireless customers receive a high-quality wireless multimedia entertainment experience.

V CAST customers can find NASCAR.com TO GO video clips on the 3G-capable VX8000 phone that allows customers to stream content with just a few clicks and experience outstanding clarity and sharpness. The LG VX8000 is available to Verizon Wireless customers for $199.99 after $70 rebate with a two-year customer agreement. V CAST customers can also find NASCAR.com TO GO video clips on the Samsung a890, which is $249.99 after a $70 rebate with a two-year customer agreement, and the CDM8940 from UTStarcom Personal Communications (formerly Audiovox Communications Corp.) for $229.99 after a $70 rebate with a two-year customer agreement.
