BenQ-Siemens Announced the First Movie Series for Mobile Phones

BenQ Mobile presents the world's first movie series for mobile phones: The adventures of Ben the dog in London.

In the world's first movie series for mobile phones, Ben the dog goes through turbulent adventures in all sorts of places in London carrying his master, Mr. Q's, mobile phone. The 60-second movies in 3GP format are tailored to a viewer's requirements on a small screen. Swift camera movements and panorama shots are avoided, and the dialogue is also kept to a minimum. Moreover, several mobile models from various manufacturers support this format. Thus BenQ Mobile is tapping into the huge success of the MicroMovie Award and the MicroMovie Session.

60-second movies from the ''Dog & Bone'' series can now be downloaded free of charge in the Fun Downloads area at www.BenQ-Siemens.com/dogandbone and at www.MicroMovie-Series.com. Furthermore, the first episode of ''Dog & Bone'' will be preinstalled on the BenQ-Siemens M81, which will be on sale from August 2006. The ''Dog & Bone'' series format will be produced exclusively for mobile phones.
