Mobio Simplifies Holiday Menus and Meal-Planning with New Mobile Recipes Application
Users Can Access Hundreds of Thousands of Recipes Instantly on Their Mobile Phones Using the GetMobio Lifestyle Portal
CUPERTINO, Calif. – Dec 12, 2007 – Mobio Networks today announced that it has launched a new Recipes application within the GetMobio lifestyle portal for users across major U.S. carriers. From classic Christmas cookies to creative casserole ideas, Recipes provides instant access to hundreds of thousands of recipes anytime, anywhere. With Recipes you can search for recipes by keyword, occasion or course, save them to your handset for quick access and even create detailed grocery lists for last-minute shopping trips.
“Online communities are great for the millions of savvy chefs and inexperienced cooks alike who don’t want to spend hours flipping through cookbooks to plan a meal, but people aren’t always in front of a computer to access their favorite recipes,” said Ramneek Bhasin, CEO of Mobio. “Whether you’re browsing cocktail recipes on the train or searching for the perfect side-dish at the supermarket, Recipes is designed to provide all the functionality of a website with the mobility needed while on the go. And with features that let users find and download recipes, and even create custom shopping lists, we’re hopeful that Recipes will make your life a little easier this holiday season.”
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.
