Zoom Telephonics, Inc. (OTCBB: ZMTP) ("Zoom") announced today the release of ZoomTether for Android smartphones.

ZoomTether is available as a free download for Zoom Model 4501 and Model 4506 wireless-N routers.

ZoomTether extends the high-speed Internet capability in Android smartphones to tablets, computers, iPods, e-readers and other WiFi devices within range of the Zoom router. The smartphone can continue to make and receive voice calls or text messages when it's used with ZoomTether.
