"Portable
digital media players are all the rage right now and
by partnering with Tiger Electronics Cartoon Network
can offer its most popular shows to kids in a format
that is perfect for them. The Vugo multi-media player
allows us to put our content into the pockets of tweens
everywhere. And, as a key content provider, Cartoon
Network will provide a free Fosters Home for Imaginary
Friends download that will be featured on the Vugo
packaging," said Cartoon Network Enterprises
senior vice president John Friend.
"As
the number-one entertainment brand for kids and the
top rated television network for tweens, we're excited
to bring Nickelodeon's leading properties to the launch
of Vugo. In addition to reaching Nick fans on-air,
on-line, and through new technologies including mobile
telephone content, Vugo offers us a new path to serve
tweens, wherever they may go," said Nickelodeon
& Viacom Consumer Products senior vice president
entertainment products Stephen Youngwood.
Available

multimedia system made just for them. Some of the
hottest TV shows and premium programming will be available
