CALGARY, AB, November 6, 2006 - Zi Corporation (NASDAQ:ZICA) (TSX:ZIC), a leading provider of intelligent interface solutions, today announced that it has signed, exclusive licensing agreement with Nintendo Co., Ltd. to embed its predictive text input technology, eZiText, into Wii, Nintendo’s revolutionary new video games console. Wii launches on 19th November in North America, 2nd December in Japan and 8th December in Europe.
“Nintendo is a worldwide leader in video game systems and has a reputation for bringing innovative technology to the market,” said Milos Djokovic, President and CEO, Zi Corporation. “By embedding eZiText in Wii, Nintendo is empowering its customer with a more user friendly method for text input.”
“This announcement heralds the future use of eZiText outside of conventional mobile usage,” continued Djokovic. “The global gaming industry has become a worldwide phenomenon and is becoming an important new avenue for the distribution of our products. As such, we will continue to progressively pursue new gaming customers.”
Nintendo characterizes Wii as a console that “will revolutionize how people play games…it will entice new players into the world of video games by offering a variety of entertainment, information and communication channels.”
The announcement with Nintendo is the third entrance into the multi-billion dollar international gaming industry for Zi products and the second agreement with Nintendo, a well-known Japanese company and a global leader in video gaming. In 2005, Zi licensed its Decuma® handwriting recognition technology to Nintendo for use in the Nintendo DS handheld video game system. Also in early 2005, Gizmondo Europe Ltd embedded Zi Corporation’s eZiTap™ predictive text technology into a feature-rich handheld entertainment console.

Please insert your Wii Startup Disc. This will set up your Wii console.
The mysterious Wii Startup Disc that was listed on the back of the Wii box has been summoned in public. While glancing over the Wii kiosk set up at the South Shore Mall Software Etc. in Bay Shore, NY, Engadget superstar Paul Miller snapped the above photograph, with the Wii console pleading (with the above message) for the Startup Disc. The request is written in only English, Spanish and French, implying that the disk is region-specific.
It may be a last-minute firmware update, but why not have the console download the update when it connects? After all, Wii is supposed to be connected 24 hours a day. Maybe Nintendo doesn’t trust its customers, and the Startup Disc is a mandatory orientation film on how to properly handle the Wiimote (think LOST). Or it might just be a very lame game — “insert the disc and win!” — that boosts your self-esteem.
Let’s say the Wii Startup Disc is a region-specific firmware update. If a US Wii owner could obtain a Japanese startup disc, could he or she enjoy a more expansive Virtual Console launch lineup?

Nintendo has announced advanced software ( AiLive )that allows developers to easily create motion sensitive controls for their games. The technology is ground breaking and allows the Wiimote to actually learn. Instead of having to do extensive complicated programing developers only need to spend a few minutes to train the Wiimote.
