history
Vindigo Studios is a pioneer and market leader in the wireless data industry.
In 2001, Vindigo Studios recognized that the coming generation of mobile phones, powered by technologies such as BREW and Java, would allow developers to create and sell thousands of useful, entertaining, and powerful applications for consumers. Vindigo Studios is now one of the best-known and most experienced publishers and developers of information and entertainment applications for mobile phones in the U.S. Leveraging our proprietary technologies, our years of experience in marketing services to mobile consumers, and our deep relationships with media companies and wireless carriers, we are building a host of new applications for mobile phones.
The company was founded in 1999. Our first product was, one of the first truly successful consumer applications for mobile devices, Vindigo® city guide. Combining great local content from partners such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Chicago Tribune, with full-color maps, directions, and above all, a simple and original user interface, Vindigo was an instant classic. More than 2 million people have downloaded versions of Vindigo for their PDA or mobile phone and the service has won more than twenty awards.
But Vindigo is not just a great consumer service. With subscriptions costing up to $24.95 and almost 100 paying advertising customers including American Express, HBO, Absolut, Mercedes, and United Airlines, Vindigo has proved that there is a compelling business model for mobile applications and services in the U.S.
Today, with more than twenty products launched or in various stages of development, Vindigo Studios continues to lead the wireless data industry.
