:WFYW), a leading developer of wireless location products and services, today announced that it will preview the WheriFind[TM], the first product in its new Universal Locator[TM] family of GPS location products, at the International CES 2007 show at the Wherify booth at Booth 35628, South Hall 4. The WheriFind product is intended to provide consumers and businesses with a range of locating options that include simple short term monitoring of assets in unfamiliar surroundings, continuous vehicle location monitoring, and portable communications and location identification of people and employees that are on the move.

The WheriFind is a small self-contained, battery-powered, fully portable GSM cellular and GPS locating device with an internal antenna that can be easily used for the short term location monitoring of any asset or vehicle.

Since it is equipped with an internal battery power supply it can also be taken out of the vehicle for more portable personal locating and communications applications, offering extra safety and security to consumers and mobile businesses on the road. Leveraging the same combination of Aided GPS and GSM technology that powers the award-winning Wherifone[TM] locator phone, the WheriFind can provide accurate location information and communications to users worldwide. Rather than reacting to a theft alarm or emergency, you can now proactively monitor and locate assets, vehicles or communicate with key people with a simple push of a button. The WheriFind will be available in Q2 2007.
