14 DAY TRIAL // Mobio Networks announced that it will launch GetMobio, a mobile lifestyle portal that offers consumers over 50 dynamic applications and widgets, at the DEMO 2007 conference. GetMobio allows people to use their mobile phones to locate the hottest nightclubs, call a cab, find alternative flights or book a table at the latest restaurants.
GetMobio can be freely downloaded by users onto their mobile phones, with new applications being delivered automatically as they become available. Users can personalize their experience across all GetMobio collections to create a more intuitive interaction. Mobio's applications are designed to be used with very few clicks and minimal data entry, and are available for the most popular mobile phones on the market.
GetMobio ships with 10 collections, which are sets of mash-up applications, widgets and content feeds (RSS) tailored to the person's location and preferences. These collections range from "After Midnight" to "Outwitting the Kids" and provide access to everything from hip lounges and comedy clubs to local hospitals and ice cream shops. Mobio also works with partners such as Kaboodle and OpenTable and develops targeted applications such as Mobile Flight Times, Mobile Movie Times and Mobile Fine Dining.
