Mobio Launches GetMobio Lifestyle Portal for Windows Mobile Customers Across All Major U.S. Carriers
CUPERTINO, Calif. – Nov 6, 2007 – Mobio Networks today announced that it has launched the GetMobio lifestyle portal for Windows Mobile smart phone users across major U.S. carriers. Windows Mobile users can enjoy all the Mobio widgets and applications with GetMobio, a collection of over 50 web service mash-ups that include the hottest nightclubs, restaurants and local events. With Mobio’s latest widget, Cheap Gas, Windows Mobile users can find the lowest cost gas stations near any location and even filter search results by brand right on the handset.
“Windows Mobile has long been the leading wireless connectivity solution for hundreds of thousands of business users because it enables them to remain highly productive on the go,” said Marcia Kadanoff, Vice President of Marketing at Mobio. “Today’s functions such as e-mail and browsing the Internet have become integral parts of non-professional lifestyle needs as well, so we’re seeing a large number of consumers selecting Windows Mobile for personal usage. We’re pleased to offer all Windows Mobile customers the fun and functionality of the GetMobio mobile lifestyle portal on their favorite devices.”
Mobio’s applications are created to meet the needs of a broad spectrum of users – from those using the most popular and widely available mobile phones on the market, such as the Motorola RAZR, to more sophisticated smart phone models and interfaces including the BlackBerry Pearl. By simply entering their information once, users can personalize their experience across all GetMobio collections to create a more intuitive, seamless interaction.
