MobileEngines, the leader in mobile entertainment services, today expanded its robust mobile entertainment service with the announcement of 11 new entertainment partners.
The combined content and applications from these 11 new partners and from five current partners will be aggregated in the MobileEngines Serious Fun Engine. The Serious Fun Engine is a group of unique mobile entertainment applications that deliver rich mobile content and applications to mobile users. MobileEngines' new entertainment partners include Auctionfares.com, ClickMovie.com, Club Community, e-lingo, elcafecito, FreeRun, GourmetMarket.com, Iuma, MongoMusic.com, RestaurantRow.com, and Rotten Tomatoes.
The MobileEngines Serious Fun Engine delivers to mobile users interactive entertainment content and services in an easy-to-use interface. The Serious Fun Engine includes applications like movie showtimes and reviews, last-minute ticket deals, online restaurant reservations and guides, and concert and radio information. MobileEngines is enabling wireless telephone carriers, entertainment and Internet brands to use the Engine to deliver content and applications to existing and new consumers, extend their brand awareness and share in revenue opportunities.
"The wireless market presents unique distribution and aggregation challenges to dot-coms and wireless carriers alike," said Patrick Boyle, co-founder and CEO of MobileEngines. "The addition of content and applications from these leading partners allows MobileEngines to offer a very powerful mobile entertainment solution and gives end users convenient access to some of the best content available on mobile devices today."
"Entertainment content is driving consumer wireless usage. By partnering with MobileEngines we are able to offer our customers a powerful mobile service," said Scott Redmond, founder and CEO of ClickMovie.com. "By going mobile, we're able to reach a much wider audience and we know the distribution of our film, animation, sports and movie trailer content will not get lost in the `wireless Web.'"
Based on the MobileEngines technology platform, the Serious Fun Engine seamlessly ports unique content or translates existing Web content directly to consumers' Internet-ready mobile devices such as cell phones and PDAs, and adds valuable content, applications and e-commerce capabilities that go beyond the Internet -- like two-way functionality and interactive ratings and transactions. The technology is based on standard HTML, requires no technical effort from partners and is network/protocol agnostic.
