ZIC BMO Mid Term US IG Corporate Bond Index ETF

TELUS (TSX: T, T.A; NYSE:TU), a leading national telecommunications company in Canada, and Zi Corporation (NASDAQ: ZICA) (TSX: ZIC), a leading provider of intelligent interface solutions, today announced they will offer the mobile discovery solution Qix on select models of TELUS phones and PDAs. TELUS will be the first carrier in North America to offer the solution to its customers. Qix is a mobile discovery solution that allows phone and PDA users to access the full range of features on their device simply and intuitively, all without having to remember where or how to locate them. The solution helps remove barriers to revenue-producing features on mobile phones by significantly reducing the number of key presses needed to navigate through content and menus. �TELUS is proud to bring Zi Corporation�s powerful engine to our customers. This will vastly increase our customers� mobile experience,� said Stephen Ospalak, vice president of Subscriber Devices at TELUS. �The fact that Qix is an innovative and user-friendly engine and is compatible with the multiple handsets and PDAs we offer, were key factors in our decision to choose this engine.� �We are very pleased that TELUS will be the first North American carrier to offer Qix. TELUS is a proven industry leader and innovator in the Canadian market, and we strongly believe that for them to choose our engine proves to the industry the excellence of our product,� said Milos Djokovic, President and CEO of Zi Corporation. The availability of Qix on multiple handsets will make it possible for TELUS handset users to enjoy the many benefits of powerful search and discovery features that previously were not available to them. Qix has been available for Windows-based and Symbian-based Smartphones for some time, but the implementation of Qix on an OEM�s operating system platform is an important breakthrough for Zi Corporation. It reinforces that Qix technology is now easy to adapt and can be used on a broad range of handsets, regardless of the operating system.
