Cell Phones Now Available at Walgreens GARDEN GROVE, Calif., Oct. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hop-On (OTC: HPON), the leading developer of disposable and fully recyclable cell phones, today announced that its CDMA disposable cell phones are now available to consumers. The initial launch of the Company's phones is being conducted at three Walgreen's locations in Southern California, with plans to expand distribution throughout Walgreen's nationwide network of drug stores as consumer acceptance is demonstrated and phone production capacity ramps up to meet demand. Peter Michaels, Chairman and CEO of Hop-On, commented, "The launch with Walgreens is an important step for Hop-On and puts us on the way toward creating a much larger communications company. We are now working to increase our manufacturing capacity since consumer and retailer demand has already exceeded our initial production capabilities. The potential global demand for our phone products and the inherent opportunities for complementary product introductions is indicative of Hop-On's substantial growth prospects in the future."
