Zi Corporation Introduces QixLinks

New Search and Discovery Development a Major Usability Breakthrough in the Quest for increased ARPU

CALGARY, AB, February 13, 2007 - Zi Corporation (TSX:ZIC) (NASDAQ:ZICA), a leading provider of intelligent interface solutions, today announced the introduction of QixLinks™ and QixLinks Ads™, two radical new developments of its award-winning on-device search and discovery engine Qix™. These products will offer users direct access to portal content and advertisements, driving greater ARPU for operators.

QixLinks and QixLinks Ads are targeted to deliver the top 1,000 high-value mobile content and advertising keywords to users. Qix offers the ability to showcase select operator content and hand-off to standard mobile search vendors for accessing other content. QixLinks enables discovery and repeated use by including natural language words a user might think to enter to find content.

"Qix already removes barriers to revenue producing features on a phone and with the introduction of QixLinks has now extended this competency to include mobile content and advertising," said Milos Djokovic, President and CEO, Zi Corporation.

"We are looking for really simple ways for customers to use our services. We found in our trials that Qix has helped customers use their phones more, and has helped them discover services that they weren't otherwise using. QixLinks is a simple way to bring new services to customers," said Matthew Dove, Head of email and Internet Products, T-Mobile UK.

Zi Corporation will be demonstrating QixLinks and QixLinks Ads at Stand C58 in Hall 2 at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Spain from February 12 - 15 at Stand C58, Hall 2. To make an appointment with Zi Corporation at 3GSM World Congress, please contact Brian Dolby at +44(0)115 948 6901 or email brian@gbcspr.com.

On Valentine's Day be one of the first 50 visitors to the Zi stand and use QixLinks to send your loved one a bunch of flowers free of charge.
