Hop-on Brings Back the Disposable Cell Phone With a 10,000 European Purchase OrderIRVINE, Calif., April 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hop-on, Inc. (Pink Sheets: HPNN) announced today that its low end GSM cell phone with no LCD screen was a big success during CTIA meetings in Las Vegas, resulting in an initial test purchase order of 10,000 phones. Hop-on is bringing back the disposable phone. Peter Michaels, President of Hop-on stated, "During our meetings with distributors in Vegas the response to our simple, inexpensive, $20 phone was phenomenal. The initial test purchase order with multiple purchase orders behind it is a big step in introducing Hop-on to Europe." Michaels of Hop-on also stated, "This is our biggest opportunity to actually have Hop-on become a household name in the US and throughout Europe. No one sells a new $20 GSM cell phone. The initial purchase order of 10,000 phones is just the beginning and will begin shipping out within 60 days. When these phones hit the market there, I am confident that purchase orders will begin pouring in. This particular order uses the Texas Instruments technology chip set. Texas Instruments has sold millions of them. It is a proven stable technology. The low cost 900/1800 MHz phone will utilize both Texas Instruments chip sets and Infineon chip sets."
