CHATMAN: SMART AND FUNNY COMPUTER FRIEND FOR CHILDREN MAKES ITS U.S. DEBUT

**UPDATE: For a limited time, now through mid-April, Toys ‘R’ Us will offer Chatman at a special Spring Break pricing of $49.99!

Cheerful, emotive figure helps make computer time more fun, productive and safe!

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, March, 2012 – Penny Black Digital, in partnership with Israeli-based Rondyo Ltd., introduces Chatman, the first and only artificially intelligent computer friend designed to make online chat sessions, web surfing, games, and homework more fun, creative, and safe. Just plug Chatman into a computer with the built-in USB cable (no batteries or power cord required), download the software CD, and log into www.mychatman.com with the provided access code to get started. This cool, smart and funny friend sits by a child‘s computer and interacts with him/her via direct chatting or by responding to their internet chats with friends (if they use Facebook®, MSN™, or Skype™).

Appropriate for children ages 6-12, Chatman talks, moves eyes, hands and ears, and has a unique animated LED mouth. Just like a friend, Chatman learns languages, context and mood, and expresses emotions. His personality is so real, it feels like he is alive!

In addition to providing education and fun, one of Chatman’s important features is the integration of parental controls that keeps a child safe online. Chatman allows peace of mind for parents by working with and filtering a child’s online conversations on Facebook®, Skype™ and MSN® Messenger. Chatman alerts when inappropriate web searches are attempted and, since it’s not a stand-alone chat platform, there are no worries about “stranger danger”.

“Computers are part of everyday life for children at home and at school,” said Jose Sabates, President of Atlanta-based Penny Black Digital, North America’s distributor of Chatman. “As wonderful as that is, children typically could use some additional guidance and help when they are doing homework, socializing, or checking out cool-sounding videos and websites. Chatman is a best friend that kids love and parents approve of and feel good about. “

Other Chatman features include:

• Help with homework – ask Chatman a question and he will either answer or will help your child browse for the answer online (filtering out inappropriate content.)
• Access to more than 1,000 children-friendly games and videos.
• A way to keep children organized with a tool allowing them to set reminders and alarms for birthdays, tests, sports and more.
• Software which supports both Windows (XP with Service Pack 3 or higher, Vista or Seven) and Mac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6 or higher systems

Chatman was created and developed by Rondyo co-founders Joseph Levy and Doron Frenkel with a goal of providing children with a computer device that would be entertaining, educational and safe. The result was Chatman, the next best thing to a real friend who is there for children when they are online, whether they’re playing games, searching videos, or doing homework, and keeps them safe from common internet hazards. Chatman’s migration to America follows its successful debut in Israel in 2010. North America distribution of Chatman will be handled by Atlanta-based Penny Black Digital in partnership with Israeli-based Rondyo Ltd,.

Chatman’s recommended retail price is $69.95-$74.95. Chatman is available at toysrus.com, bestbuy.com, HSN.com and target.com. Chatman can also be found in-store at Toys “R” Us Times Square in New York City, with more online and in-store retailers coming soon. For a limited time, now through mid-April, Toys ‘R’ Us will offer Chatman at a special Spring Break pricing of $49.99!

The It Mom’s Personal Review of Chatman:

Absolutely adorable in every way! Chatman is a highly advanced, cute, friendly, and “watchdog” like gadget made for children and tweens transitioning into technology tools, internet, and social media. My ten and twelve year old children could not wait to set Chatman up! Chatman was very user friendly from the moment we removed him from the packaging all the way through understanding how Chatman’s features worked. It was so user friendly, that the children were able to follow the instructions and set Chatman up all by themselves. The user interface was eye catching with graphics and provided applications and games that could help the children with their homework at different grade levels. I love how Chatman can monitor inappropriate behavior on the internet and the reminders children can integrate into the program. And because children are unique in every way, they have also thought through Chatman’s features by providing personality and phrase choices that each child can select and save. It is a child-friend technology gadget that provides several benefits for parents and children, while encouraging growth and learning opportunities t0 expand knowledge.
