Summus Partners With Boost Mobile to Offer Popular Wireless Entertainment Products to Boost Subscribers

Texas Hold'em by Phil Hellmuth is an interactive poker game for wireless phones that is endorsed by nine-time World Series of Poker champion, Phil Hellmuth. Texas Hold'em by Phil Hellmuth is popular with novice and expert players alike -- for fun as well as serious practice. Phil's tips have helped today's poker players dramatically improve their skill sets, and Summus' innovative game platform, high-end graphics, and artificial intelligence (AI) used in the development of Texas Hold'em continues to make the game more fun for all involved.

The 2005 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit content enables users to purchase photos of their favorite swimsuit models as mobile wallpaper. The product provides new photographs of the "model of the month" at the beginning of each month throughout the year. Consumers can also view and purchase photos from the actual 2005 Swimsuit Issue and the cover shot, in addition to photos that were the best and most widely purchased in 2004.

"The 2004 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit wallpaper has been our most successful product to date. It has generated over 1.6 million downloaded wallpaper images since the initial launch in March 2004," said Gary Ban, CEO of Summus. "And, Texas Hold'em is one of the hottest poker games right now due to its television exposure and popularity among celebrities. With the addition of Boost Mobile's young, data-savvy subscriber base, Summus continues to drive the widespread adoption and increasing popularity of these mobile entertainment products."
