Vindigo Studios Unveils New Products, Partnerships
Publisher Vindigo Studios Emerges as Mobile Lifestyle Brand with Addition
of Mobile Vibe and FotoShare
Atlanta, GA - March 22, 2004 - At Mobile Entertainment Summit in
Atlanta, Vindigo Studios, one of the best-known publishers of consumer applications
for mobile devices, announced that it had added new products to its broad
portfolio of applications. New applications from the prolific publisher
include Mobile Vibe™ brought to you by DIGGIT Entertainment Group,
which features the best of VIBE Magazine - the voice and soul of urban music
and culture - and FotoShare™, the easiest way for wireless subscribers
to customize or share photos.
In related releases, the company also announced today a new partnership
with Wireless Gaming Review (WGR), the leading publication dedicated to
wireless games, to develop and publish an application that will deliver
timely game reviews directly to wireless consumers.
"The mobile phone is redefining the consumer electronics industry as consumers
substitute it for PDAs, digital cameras, gaming consoles and music players,"
said Jason Devitt, CEO of Vindigo Studios. "It only made sense that we,
a longtime leader in PDA software, have expanded the breadth of our portfolio
and reinvigorated our mobile lifestyle brand."
The success of Vindigo Studios' software can be attributed to the willingness
of mobile consumers to pay a premium for access to timely, relevant information.
