It has been an exciting month for GetFugu. We have met or exceeded all targets to date, have more than adequate funding to continue operations into the foreseeable future, and remain on track for next month's launch of our revolutionary new mobile search technology, which will include the full breadth of our application directed toward the consumer.
Beta Launch:
It has been just over 2 weeks since the September 9, 2009 soft launch of our "See It," "Say It," "Find It" vision, voice and location recognition services with an application for both the Android and Apple's iPhone platform. We have developed a unique set of tools that will change the way mobile phone users access the Internet around the world.

We made a successful appearance at the NIBA conference this week, and have a growing list of partners including advertisers and brands with vision, who are excited to build on our new approach in mobile advertising.
We have received much comment from users and are working to strengthen an already powerful application. We are encouraged by the number of downloads and interest in the platform. It reaffirms our belief that GetFugu has the ability to change the way in which consumers use their mobile phones.
New Additions to Management Team:
You may have heard of our recent appointment of Derek Norton as COO. He has a long and storied career as a pioneer in telecommunications, and is the latest member of a significant management expansion program. We have also added several other members to our team, forming the core of our Operations and Marketing unit, which is already working on integrating a host of new advertisers and content into GetFugu.
What's Next:
In the near future, we will unveil the plans for our October consumer launch. This will be an opportunity for you to see the full reach of GetFugu and gauge its impact for consumers and advertisers.
We will announce progress and new advertising partnerships, and rollout to BlackBerry, in the 4th Quarter.
The next quarter will be full of further positive developments as we demonstrate the power of the platform and provide our consumers, partners and shareholders with real value.
Sincerely,
Bernard Stoler

GetFugu Application Launches for Apple iPhone
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11, 2009 - GetFugu, Inc., (OTCBB:GFGU - News) (www.getfugu.com), the technology company introducing the next generation mobile search tool, announced today the launch of its GetFugu application designed for Apple iPhone. GetFugu recently announced its launch on the Android(TM) mobile phone platforms.
GetFugu's revolutionary new mobile technology, "See It," "Say It," "Find It," and "Get It," application integrates mobile phones' core strengths into a single search tool giving users content they want instantly. The free application will be available beginning today in the Apple App Store, and will also roll out to BlackBerry and J2ME platforms in the 4th quarter.
GetFugu will transform the way consumers and marketers connect. GetFugu's vision recognition (ARL), voice recognition (VRL), location recognition (GRL) and hot-spotting technologies are targeted at consumers who are frustrated by their mobile phone keyboards. Users who download the application can take a picture of a logo with their iPhone and access information from advertisers and marketers by clicking on the logo of the brand on their screens. This will take them directly to the company's website, bypassing traditional search engines, to retrieve content. GetFugu users can also speak a word into the phone and get direct connection to information and keyword searches. The GetFugu application also features a hot-spotting technology, which allows users to touch a particular item in a video and be taken to the company's website, where they can make purchases directly on their mobiles.
"This application is designed to connect consumers with the content they want quickly and conveniently," stated Rich Jenkins, GetFugu's Vice President for Development. "The technology, while spectacular, remains a function of the search and is almost invisible to the consumer." "GetFugu being available on the Apple iPhone is a significant highpoint for the company as well as consumers who own iPhones," said Bernard Stolar, GetFugu's CEO. "Apple continually paves the way for new innovations and we are excited to offer our unique technology to the Apple community, who will be impressed and excited by GetFugu's capabilities."
Through GetFugu, brands can now reach the consumer directly and tailor campaigns to desired consumer actions (i.e. an enticement for an in-store visit, such as a coupon). Marketers can effortlessly create high-impact campaigns using existing collateral and can alter their messaging quickly based on GetFugu's tangible and quantifiable metrics. GetFugu will shortly roll out several high profile advertising partners as many of the world's most powerful consumer brands have signed on to be a part of the GetFugu network.
