"We're thrilled for the opportunity to collaborate with The Singing Bee, whom we view as a natural and ideal partner," said Alan J.

Unlike the i-Pod, i-Sing displays lyrics on its screen and contains an internal speaker and microphone. Users first load songs, then add lyrics onto the digital device, and sing-along wherever they want, whenever they want. Users can choose whether they want the actual vocals of the song to accompany them, or simply sing over the music. This creates the world's first karaoke player that enables the user to have the ability to have duets with their favorite singers or sing on their own.

i-Sing's innovative capabilities include revolutionary P.D.S.R Fusion Technology: Play - Display - Sing - Record all at the same time. Moreover, through proprietary lyric creator software, i-Sing enables users to easily input the lyrics to songs and even personalize them by creating their own lyrics. Through patented voice reduction technologies, users can reduce or eliminate the singer's voice to create instrument-only karaoke music.

i-Sing is currently available at Wal-Mart, Toys R Us, QVC, Meijers, Sears Wishbook, Hammacher Schlemmer, Linens N Things, Target.com, Wal-mart.com, Etoys.com, Amazon.com, Toys R Us.com, Kmart.com, Sears.com, and other fine retailers nationwide.
