FREMONT, Calif.- April 22, 2004 - More personal phone calls are made on Mother's Day in the USA than on any other day in any other country! With Vialta's Beamer Videophone, you can see Mom when you call her on Mother's Day because Beamer adds live, color video to your phone calls. Today's busy schedules and families spread across the country make it hard to see loved ones often but Beamer makes it as easy as picking up the phone and calling.

"With working full time and air fares so high, my time is limited and kids grow and change so fast," said C.J. Dunham, a Beamer owner in New Mexico. "I love my Beamer, and it has really made such a difference for me. It is so good to see my daughter and grandsons in Virginia when I can't go there."

Videophones like Beamer are changing the way we communicate. Most people, when they can't visit in person, call their friends and family to stay in touch. While it feels good to hear a loved one's voice on the phone, it is even more emotionally rewarding when you can actually see mom, grandma or your grandchildren when talking to them.

According to Dennie Hughes, USA Weekend's contributing editor and RelationTips columnist, videophones like Beamer can help long distance relationships. "Regular phone calls and emails make the heart grow fonder, but having visuals make the heart beat even faster." She adds, " I love you sounds so much nicer when you can see the smile attached to it."

Vialta's Beamer videophones work with any home phone (corded or cordless) over any standard (analog) phone line to add video to your phone call, while ensuring your privacy. Winner of a "Good Buy Award" from Good Housekeeping magazine (2003), an iParenting Media Award (2004), and a "Best of Innovations Award" from the Consumer Electronics Association (2003 & 2004), Beamer videophones are easy to set up and easy to use. There is no special wiring or equipment required; no contracts, service fees or subscriptions; and no additional cost to the phone call. Chose from Beamer - which displays the video on its 3.5" LCD screen, or Beamer TV - which connects to your television to display video of the person you are calling directly on your television screen. Beamer and Beamer TV are compatible with each other.

"Beamer videophones are popular with families who don't have their relatives living nearby, especially since Beamer makes it much easier for grandparents, parents and grandchildren to share daily experiences, instead of seeing each other only on special occasions," says Didier Pietri, Vialta's President and CEO. "We have customers who use Beamer to see their relatives overseas; to see their siblings, nieces and nephews; and to see their friends who have moved away."

With a suggested retail price starting as low as $149.99 per unit (BM-TV model), Beamer videophones are available nationally at consumer electronic stores including Best Buy and Sharper Image and at www.vialta.com or by calling 1-877-963-8383.
