SAN FRANCISCO, February 16 /PRNewswire/ --

- Joby's award winning Bluetooth headset goes global

Joby, Inc. is pleased to announce that its high performance Zivio Boom(TM) wireless headset is now available for purchase internationally. Lauded for its exceptional sound quality and sleek design, the Zivio Boom is currently available on Amazon and in other retail locations in the UK, Switzerland, Germany and France. In the coming months, Joby will launch the Zivio Boom into other countries across the European Market. This push is being led by Joby's Director, EMEA, Sandro Fulgheri, who has been with the company since 2007.

Joby will be commencing its European launch with an exhibition at the GSMA Mobile World Congress, 16 - 19 February 2009, Fira Barcelona. Come visit the Joby stand (7C84) for an exciting first look at the Zivio Boom wireless headset.

The expansion into the European market follows the successful US launch last August, upon which the Zivio Boom set a new standard for audio fidelity in the Bluetooth(R) category. The only headset to feature a retractable, flexible microphone boom, the Zivio Boom provides crisp, clear sound through a distinctive and elegant approach: by placing the microphone at the corner of your mouth, the Zivio Boom isolates your voice. No background noise is picked up, leaving nothing to cancel.

Much more than a pretty face, the Zivio Boom impresses the inner geek with a whopping 10 hours of talk time, a customizable fit and the latest version of Bluetooth connectivity. And with its fierce styling, the Zivio Boom will make you look as good as you sound.
