Critical Path’s ShoZu application delivers enhanced experience for BlackBerry smartphones running OS v5.0

ShoZu by Critical Path continues to provide industry leading social media capabilities

London, ENGLAND – February 15, 2010 – Critical Path, a leading provider of messaging software and services, today announced a significant enhancement to its award-winning ShoZu application, specifically tailored for BlackBerry® smartphones running BlackBerry OS v5.0, including the BlackBerry® Bold™ 9700 and BlackBerry® Storm2™ 9550 smartphones.  New capabilities of the application include transparent background operation, full integration with the onboard camera and access to the media gallery, enabling BlackBerry smartphone users to stay connected to their social media destinations like never before.

Today, ShoZu enables consumers to easily share their photos and videos across more than fifty leading social media sites, including Flickr, Facebook, YouTube, Picassa and many others. The service is available across all leading mobile platforms.

Critical Path acquired ShoZu early in 2010 to accelerate its delivery of mobile social networking capabilities that combine media, Social Address Book, notifications and updates into a seamless mobile experience.  Critical Path will offer this directly to consumers under the ShoZu brand or as part of its integrated solutions for service providers and media partners.

"Mobile phones are an essential part of today's social networking experience, both for sharing media and staying in touch with friends and family," says Mark Palomba, CEO Critical Path. "Offering ShoZu on BlackBerry smartphones allows us to reach a large and rapidly growing audience. We are delighted to continue to build upon what ShoZu has already accomplished in providing an exceptional social media service for consumers.”
