iBIZ Corp. Reports Results From CES 2004 Friday January 16, 1:27 pm ET
PHOENIX, Jan. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- iBIZ Technology Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: IBZT - News), a leading manufacturer and distributor of accessories for personal digital assistants (PDA) and hand-held devices, reports CES 2004 as the best showcase ever for iBIZ products. " CES 2004 was the highlight of our twenty four year history as iBIZ had more visibility than ever before at any show we have attended in the past," said Ken Schilling, President & CEO of iBIZ Technology Corp. " Certainly, the introduction of our Virtual Keyboard drew a great deal of attention to our company and our products. Being nominated for Tech TV`s Best of CES certainly was an early milestone and a barometer for how successful the Virtual keyboard will become in the coming months."
Schilling further commented, " Even before CES, we began accumulating a back log of orders for the Virtual Keyboard. Today we have accumulated a substantial backlog from various retailers around the country and as a result of our exposure at CES, that number grows daily. Additionally, the Virtual Keyboard has allowed us to leverage our other products together with a product offering for retailers that is unmatched in our four years of providing PDA accessories. Our own web sales for the Virtual keyboard continue to grow. To that end, we received more pre-orders for the Virtual Keyboard in the first twenty-four hours on our site than any other product we have introduced sold in an entire month. It is truly exciting to watch the enthusiasm surrounding this product. We look forward to the other opportunities this technology will bring as we continue to embrace its dynamics."
" I didn`t arrive at CES until Saturday morning," commented Mark Perkins, Executive Vice President of iBIZ Technology, " which, historically, is a much slower day than Thursday and Friday, and couldn`t believe the traffic in our booth. The response to the Virtual Keyboard, and to the line of iBIZ products as a whole, was absolutely incredible. Even on Sunday, when most vendors were asleep in their booths, we were swamped."
Commenting on the incredible increase in investor and customer calls coming into iBIZ headquarters since CES, Perkins noted, " Many of the calls we receive, whether they are for investment reasons or simply a potential customer looking for a retail location to purchase the new Virtual Keyboard, are asking for information regarding retailers. They basically want to know `Who,` `When` and `How Many.` Unfortunately, we cannot release any information until these various retailers have approved the respective press releases through their legal departments. But I would like to assure all those interested, we will release this information as quickly as possible."
