HONG KONG, Sept. 21, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Hong Kong based Artificial Life, Inc. (OTCBB:ALIF), a leading provider of award winning mobile technology and applications, today announced that it has launched its new mobile game "V-boy(tm) -- your virtual boyfriend" for download on its m-commerce website: www.botme.com.
The new game version is offered as a one-time download non-streaming version targeting 3G as well as high end 2G handsets and networks. The first launch supports handsets including Nokia N70, Sony Ericsson W700i, W710i, W800, W810i, K600, K608i, K610 and K750i. Users can download the game directly without the need of a game subscription with any operator.

"Our clients now have a choice for the first time of downloading a non-streaming version of our V-boys that runs on both 3G and 2G handsets directly from our m-commerce site, or playing the full 3G streaming version subscribed to by a telecom carrier in their country. It's a major step forward for us as well as for our clients," said Eberhard Schoeneburg, CEO of Artificial Life, Inc.
