Midomi Brings Any Song You Want on Your S60 Handset

Melodis Corporation, a company based in Sunnyvale, California, announced the releases of midomi mobile, an innovative music search engine for Symbian S60 mobile phones.

The new application allows you to find music by singing, humming or whistling into your phone the song you want to download. The search engine accesses midomi's online music database and uses Melodis Corporation's patented MARS (Multimodal Adaptive Recognition System) to identify the song you searched for. Since its launch, back in January 2007, the midomi database has become one of the largest online music databases, so users will basically get any song they want. In addition to finding music tracks, midomi mobile also allows users to find music videos, playable on handsets via services like YouTube.

The free, membership-based online midomi community can be accessed from both desktop and mobile browsers and it's a popular social-networking destination that provides a forum for music lovers, talent seekers or amateur and professional musicians.

"An increasing number of music-enabled handsets are sold each year, and we aim to make midomi mobile available on all of these handsets. With the exciting functionality we're continuing to develop for midomi mobile, it will become the ultimate music search tool for the mobile market," said Keyvan Mohajer, CEO, Melodis Corporation. "The commercial potential of midomi is growing rapidly," according to Mohajer: "Both at the website and on midomi mobile, we're providing advertising opportunities that are easily and quickly accessible for viewers and advertisers alike. This is allowing us to continue growing the services we can offer to our users and partners."

midomi mobile is available as a free download from the midomi mobile website, found at this address. In the future, midomi mobile will also be compatible for S40 handsets and will offer additional functionality. Another thing to mention is that Nokia recently selected midomi mobile as the Application of the Week, showcasing its potential at Nokia's featured applications corner, which can only mean that midomi mobile is indeed an application that users have to try.
