Wireless entertainment company Eruptor Entertainment has launched the PortaBush, their newest PortaPet, which can be downloaded to handheld computers that use the Palm Operating System. A limited version with 25 percent of the complete feature set is available free of charge, while the full version can be purchased online for $4.99. The PortaBush, based on U.S. President George W. Bush, allows users to help run the nation, fight off Al Gore when he asks for a recount, answer calls to veto or pass bills, dine on Texas BBQ, as well as hit The Button to blow up any number of people or places. Eruptor has had more than 400,000 downloads of their entire PortaPet series, propelled by the success of the PortaPam, which is based on famed actress Pamela Anderson. Eruptor.com has experienced a three-fold increase in traffic since the launch of the PortaPet series. According to Brad Foxhoven, Eruptors president and CEO, We wanted to follow-up our hit PortaPam with an entertainment software application that would appeal to the broadest demographic. George Ws persona was a PortaPet waiting to happen! What better way to showcase our topical humor than with the most powerful man in the world? The PortaPets can be downloaded at www.Eruptor.com, www.portapets.com and other Websites dedicated to Palm OS-based applications.
