CALGARY, Alberta--April 21, 2005--Zi Corporation (NASDAQ: ZICA)(TSX: ZIC), a leading provider of intelligent interface solutions, today announced that two of its innovative products were selected as finalists in the fifth annual Handango Champion Awards, which recognize outstanding mobile software developers and their applications. The 2005 Handango Champion Awards finalists were determined by customer votes on Handango's Web site, www.handango.com, and Handango partner sites.
Zi Corporation's eZiTap(TM) FEP was selected as a finalist in the Symbian OS UIQ category for the "Best Applications for Life." Similarly, the company's Decuma(R) Alphabetic application was selected as a finalist for the "Best New Application" category.

"The selection of the eZiTap FEP and Decuma Alphabetic as finalists for the Handango Champion Awards illustrates the widespread consumer adoption of Zi technologies and is a testament to our innovation."
About the Products
