Business Wire
Edgetech International, Inc. (OTC:EGIL) is pleased to report that
traffic to our 1,000 square foot booth (#12840), located in the Las
Vegas Convention Center in between Samsung and Sony, continued to
be overwhelming through day 3 and right up to the close yesterday.
The response from the crowds participating in live demonstrations
to The Edge, a unique, handheld, stand alone wireless unit with a
built-in modem and full-screen display functioning at DSL-type
speed, has been extremely positive. The Edge remained victorious
for all 4 days in a SpeedChallenge offered to anyone with a
wireless, handheld PDA or Pocket PC to test the speed of their unit
against ours. According to Keith Jones, Edgetech�s Vice President
and Executive Associate to the CEO, �If anyone visiting our booth
could beat the speed of The Edge for performing Internet functions
and accessing Web pages with their PDA, we would give them a free
Edge unit. I�m very pleased to confirm, we did not give away a
single Edge unit for the entire CES as it simply could not be
beaten.� Management has been inundated with requests for media
interviews and is taking full advantage of this priceless exposure.
Live, on-the-spot interviews have taken place with the CBS New York
affiliate, WCBS-TV (Channel 2), for their 11-o�clock news segment
featuring hot new technology products of the 2007 CES, BBC America,
rawVEGAS.tv, and by Robert Scoble, owner of one of the premier
Techno Blogs on the Web, PodTech.net. Talented recording artist,
Jesse Hart, performed live at the Edgetech booth, giving us the
distinction as the only exhibitor to feature a live musical
performance from a recording artist affiliated with a major record
label. EGIL has solidified a partnership with legendary music
manager Lou Pearlman and his multi-Billion dollar Trans Continental
conglomerate for the purpose of co-branding The Edge with all
existing and future acts with Trans Continental Records to
capitalize on their long term bankable track record. As a result of
connections made at the CES, Edgetech is currently in preliminary
talks on 4 potential distribution contracts for The Edge. Progress
is being made daily and contracts are being worked on at this time
specifying a minimum threshold of 5,000 Edge units for each of the
4 possible distribution deals. EGIL is also in preliminary
discussion on 2 possible corporate co-branding contracts. These
contracts would involve Edge units with customized features to
facilitate increased productivity for field sales reps. EGIL has
begun negotiations with a major consumer electronics retail chain
in order to carry The Edge as part of their regular product line.
We are both excited and encouraged by all of our potential
expansion and look forward to providing updates on these
negotiations as they become available. About the Company: We are an

discussed in this press release are "forward looking statements"
within the meaning of and which are made pursuant to the safe
harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Such forward looking statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to be materially
different from historical results or from any results expressed or
implied by such forward looking statements. Any forward looking
statements speak only as of the date on which such statement is

risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.
Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from
what is expressed or forecast in such forward looking statements,
whether as result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Factors that could cause such results to differ materially from the
results discussed in such forward looking statements include,
without limitation: uncertain continued ability to meet our
operational needs in view of ongoing working capital constraints;
need for substantial additional capital to fully implement our plan
of operations; no assurances of and uncertainty of profitability;
no assurances of the Company's ability to effect sufficient product
sales so as to maintain exclusivity in certain vertical markets,
the result of which could materially adversely effect the Company's
results of operations; need for additional management, sales and
marketing personnel, which is contingent upon our receipt of
additional capital; competition from companies having substantially
great financial, marketing and other resources than the Company,
including name and brand recognition; the impact of competitive
services and pricing; changing consumer tastes and trends; and the
legal, auditing and administrative cost of compliance associated
with the Sarbanes Oxley Act. Many of such risk factors are beyond
the Company's control. New factors emerge from time to time and it
is not possible for management to predict all of such factors, nor
can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business of the
Company or the extent to which any factor, or combination of
factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in any forward looking statements. In light of these
risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the results
anticipated in these forward looking statements will in fact occur.
