NEW YORK, Feb 14, 2011 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) --

Vringo, Inc. (NYSE Amex:VRNG), a provider of video ringtones and personalization solutions for mobile devices, today announced the granting of a non-exclusive world-wide license to ASUSTek Computer Inc. ("ASUS"), a leading consumer electronics company based in Taipei, Taiwan. Under the agreement, ASUS will embed Vringo's video ringtone application onto ASUS' Android mobile phone handsets and distribute Vringo's video ringtone application in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Vringo's application will be the first video ringtone platform to be embedded on Android mobile handsets and immediately available to consumers when they open their new phones.

"Vringo is gaining broad market acceptance as evidenced by a series of mobile carrier, handset manufacturer and video ringtone content 'wins' that have set the stage for rapid growth. As a world-wide leader in video ringtones, we are pleased to have ASUS as a new Vringo partner for its Android handsets. Making Vringo available through an embedded application solution is by far the easiest way to reach the prospective customer and will facilitate both trial and usage," said Jon Medved, Vringo's Chief Executive Officer.

"Vringo's application is very unique and has mass appeal amongst consumers. We anticipate that the video ringtone application will see broad adoption amongst Android phone users," said Andy Chen, Regional Director of Garmin-Asus SEA. "Garmin-Asus' latest phone offerings the A10 and A50 gives users access to the Android market which allows users to customize their phones to suit their lifestyles. This partnership with Vringo will enable our users to enjoy using video ringtones on their phones without having to download the application themselves. The Garmin-Asus phones were developed with the end-users in mind and by working with Vringo, we will also better be able to differentiate our product offering from that of our competitors. We look forward to integrating the Vringo application into our future Android phone offerings as Asus expands its leading technology on these evolving devices."

Vringo's fully-hosted carrier platform is currently deployed for international partners in six markets with new launches anticipated in the next quarter. Vringo's scalable cloud-based distributed application architecture enables the carrier's subscribers to browse and download mobile videos, set them as video ringtones and instantly share them with friends. In addition to carrier partners, Vringo has content partnerships with major content providers including EMI, T-Pain, Tiesto, Muhammad Ali, Turner, Marvel, Discovery Mobile, RTL, Ingrooves and Agence France-Presse.
