LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 2008 International Consumer Electronics Show -- 8x8, Inc. (Nasdaq: EGHT - News), provider of
Packet8 (www.packet8.net) broadband Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), videophone and mobile VoIP communication services, today
introduced
the Packet8 Virtual Office Tango Video Terminal Adapter (VTA), a convenient and affordable desktop Video conferencing solution that
enhances
the functionality of the Packet8 Virtual Office hosted iPBX phone system, now in use by over 10,000 U.S. based small businesses.

In addition to unlimited local and long distance calling, enterprise class PBX features and on-demand hosted call center capabilities, Packet8
Virtual Office subscribers can now experience the valuable benefits of worldwide Video conferencing directly from their personal Virtual
Office
extension. These include a reduction in travel expenses and time spent out of the office, increased worker productivity, more efficient and
effective
meetings, better support for remote workers and the ability to maintain close day to day contact with important clients.
"Many of our Packet8 Virtual Office voice customers have at least one employee located in a remote location, so being able to video conference
with
these employees by just dialing their regular extension is an easy and inexpensive way to boost office productivity," 8x8 Chairman & CEO
Bryan R.
Martin. "When dealing with external customers and clients, the advantages of inexpensive, high quality visual communications go even
further
for those businesses that simply cannot afford the time and expense involved in travelling or purchasing high end Video conferencing and
telepresence solutions which require heavy support and expensive, dedicated bandwidth. With the Packet8 Virtual Office Tango video
solution,
these companies can now easily and affordably employ powerful desktop video communications right next to their business phone to enhance
the
quality and success of their day-to-day interactions with colleagues and customers."
The Packet8 Virtual Office Tango replaces the Broadband Phone Adapter (BPA) that normally connects to the Virtual Office business class
speaker
phone and a business' high speed Internet network. The portable 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" x 1.38" free standing device uses a built-in, high resolution 5"
LCD
color screen and 180 degree rotating CCD camera to deliver advanced full-motion video at up to 30 frames per second along with crisp, delay-
free
audio. In addition to two or three way Video conferencing, the Packet8 Virtual Office Tango offers the following features:
* Integration with Microsoft Outlook to allow users to import contact information and facilitate speed dialing and phone book management
* Integration with Virtual Office calling features through on-screen icon navigation and one-touch radio buttons
* Compatibility with Packet8 Softalk (TM) Office
* Built-in Router
* Digital Picture Frame capable of displaying up to 16 images
* Simple to Use Navigation
* Quick & Easy Set up
* Remote Surveillance Mode
The Packet8 Virtual Office Tango is available as a bundle (with the Virtual Office business class speaker phone) to new Virtual Office
subscribers for
$149.99 (after $100 mail-in rebate) or as an add on device to existing Virtual Office subscribers for $99.99 (after $100 mail in rebate).
There is no
additional monthly service fee associated with Packet8 Virtual Office Tango Video conferencing -- Virtual Office subscribers receive this added
service as part of their existing service plan.
