iMAN, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Textechnologies, Inc. (Other OTC: TXTG.PK) announced that it has successfully launched a revolutionary Mobile Hotel Reservation site in conjunction with http://www.newyork.com/. iMAN's mobile wireless technology platform will enable http://mobile.newyork.com/'s city site information to be accessible on cell phones around the world anywhere and at anytime. Additionally, the mobile functionality allows hotel bookings for all cities of the United States making the service truly mobile.

Leland Hardy, the Founder and Original Registrant of http://www.newyork.com/ sees the wireless hotel booking functionality as a real value added. "We always strive to provide our users with the easiest to use, most efficient functionalities when they visit our website. The addition of this incredibly powerful resource will not only enhance our visitors' user experience, but it enables us to expand our global presence in the hotel reservations space by orders of magnitude."

Under the terms of the agreement, iMAN has developed the technology that will allow NewYork.com's more nearly 1 million unique visitors each month to have the ability to search, view, reserve and pay securely for hotel rooms on their mobile wireless device at http://mobile.newyork.com/ . Unlike other technologies in the industry, iMAN will allow mobile.newyork.com users to access the site instantly without a downloaded application to their phone and regardless of whether they have an everyday cell phone, PocketPC, Blackberry or SmartPhone.

"When someone is on the go and wants the safety and convenience of being able to browse through multiple hotel properties quickly and easily using their handset, we want NEWYORK.COM to be the only name that they think of for all of their worldwide hotel reservation needs. Furthermore, this ground breaking innovation is incredibly powerful in that it brings to the handset, on a carrier independent basis, the power and convenience of true end-to-end mobility for one of the most ubiquitous on-line activities -- the making of hotel reservations," said Leland Hardy.

The launch marks the beginning of an ongoing mobile strategy that iMAN and NewYork.com have developed which includes a number of iMAN's mobile technology components. John Maier, the founder of iMAN states, "With NewYork.com, we are building the first of many mobile programs for the Hospitality and Travel industry that will also include other transactions such as airline and car rental reservations, last minute event ticketing, restaurant reservations and mobile food ordering for their clients. It has always been the goal of iMAN to provide its clients with a single unified suite of technologies that can mobilize their business, increase revenue and satisfy their customer's needs."

"Whether it's the safety element of no longer having to shout your credit card number into a cell phone at an airport or in a cab when making hotel reservations, the instantaneity of the process, or the overall convenience of being able to see what you are buying before concluding the transaction, I am excited about the possibility of our providing the hotel booking functionality, and soon a host of other similar services, to potentially hundreds of millions of wireless device users worldwide," said Hardy.
