3D Chat Community Club Cooee is a Launch Partner to Showcase New Windows 7-Based Slate Tablets at CES

KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany, January 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The German startup Club Cooee is honored to be one of the launch partners of Microsoft Corp. at this year's CES, the world's largest consumer technology trade show.

Thanks to its revolutionary 3D chat, Club Cooee has caught Microsoft's attention and is one of so far only three German startups which have been invited to join Microsoft's global BizSpark One program. The BizSpark One program is an invitation-only program uniquely designed to accelerate the growth of a select group of high potential startups through a one-to-one relationship with Microsoft and a global community of advisors, investors, and peers.

The German 3D social community has developed a touchable 3D chat especially designed for the technically sophisticated Slate Tablets, thus creating a vibrant multi-media 3D online world. At the same time, CES marks Club Cooee's relaunch in the US. The unique application can be downloaded directly via Microsoft's website, Windows Product Scout, with only one click on the Slate's desktop. Trade visitors will be able to experience a futuristic desktop-embedded 3D chat community. Represented by a self-created avatar, users meet new friends in lively 3D chat rooms and bring life to the desktop on the Touch-n-Type Slates running Windows 7.

"The easy-to-handle Touch Interface of the Slates makes chatting and meeting new people on your home desktop easier and even more fun. With Windows 7 and the Slate's Touch-n-Type Interface, Microsoft provides us with everything we need to effectively reach our wide target market all over the world with our fun application", says Ingo Frick, co-founder of Club Cooee, who appreciates being one of Microsoft's launch partners.
