/noticias.info/ SEATTLE and MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF. — Aug. 2, 2006 — RealNetworks®, Inc. (NASDAQ: RNWK), Google Inc., (NASDAQ: GOOG), and Mozilla Corp. today announced a new multi-year agreement under which Real would offer the popular Google Toolbar and the Mozilla Firefox® Web browser with RealPlayer®, one of the most frequently downloaded applications around the world. This builds on and broadens a successful two-year relationship under which Real has distributed millions of Google Toolbars to Internet users around the world.

"Real and Google share a common passion for innovation that has enhanced the Web experience," said Rob Glaser, chairman & CEO for Real. "The Google Toolbar has been a welcome addition to Real customers because Google simplifies and enhances how they interact with the Web. We think our customers will feel the same way about the Firefox Web browser"

"Real has been one of Google’s most important distribution partners for the past two years, and we are delighted to broaden and deepen that relationship," said Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google. "Google and Real will continue to work together in innovative ways to further improve the Web experience."

"Mozilla is very pleased to partner with global leaders like Google and Real to distribute our award-winning Firefox Web browser," said Mitchell Baker, CEO of Mozilla Corporation. "Thanks to our global community of open source contributors Firefox is making the Web browsing experience better for everyone."

Real regularly distributes more than 2 million pieces of software a day worldwide. When users install RealPlayer, they will be given the option also to install either the Google Toolbar or Firefox. The Google Toolbar is a very popular addition to a Web browser that allows consumers to quickly conduct a Web search. Firefox has become a very popular Web browser that simplifies how consumers browse the Web and delivers pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing and enhanced Web security. All of these world-class products are free.

The Google Toolbar and Mozilla Firefox will soon be available options for customers of RealPlayer, Rhapsody music service and RealArcade games. notas_de_prensa_archivo
