Strengthens Leadership Position in Mobile Gaming and Interactive Television

SAN FRANCISCO—October 26, 2004— Mobliss, an Index Group Company and leading provider of mobile media and marketing services, reinforced its position as an industry innovator through recently announced relationships with premium lifestyle brands, including Yahoo! Inc., MTV and Seattle-based game company, Cranium, Inc. Mobliss also expanded its product and service portfolio with the introduction of both Mobliss Music and LAUNCH, Music on Yahoo! ringtone offerings.  Additionally, Mobliss announced the monthly subscriber base for its popular Family Feud mobile game now exceeds 125,000 users.

      “We started Mobliss with the belief there was unlimited potential in the mobile industry,” stated Brian Levin, chief executive officer of Mobliss. “It’s exciting to see mainstream entertainment companies, such as Cranium and MTV, embracing the possibilities within the wireless space. It’s satisfying for us at Mobliss and it means big things for the industry as a whole.” 

Mobliss’ latest partnership and service expansion details include:

·         Interactive MTV: MTV and Mobliss have partnered to bring wireless interactivity to the popular Real World Road Rules Challenge: Battle of the Sexes 2, enabling wireless subscribers to name the week’s weakest character via premium text messaging ($0.50 premium SMS transaction). Under the initiative, Verizon Wireless subscribers participate in the Mobliss-powered text poll to see how their decision stacks up against other devoted viewers. 

·         Family Feud Expansion: Already widely available on carriers across the nation, the Mobliss-published Family Feud game continues to draw a growing base of monthly wireless subscribers. Boasting a monthly subscriber base of more than 125,000 users who pay $2.99 a month for unlimited access to the multiplayer mobile game, Mobliss intends to expand upon its success in the games space by continuing to launch innovative new multiplayer titles in 2005. Family Feud is produced by Mobliss in partnership with FremantleMedia Licensing Worldwide, the licensing division of leading international television production company FremantleMedia.

·         The Cranium Connection: In partnership with leading board game company Cranium, Inc., Mobliss will deliver interactive Cranium content to millions of mobile users. Leveraging multiple mobile channels – including SMS games, mobile sweepstakes and downloadable games – the partnership will provide diverse entertainment options to new mobile audiences and loyal Cranium customers alike.

·         LAUNCH, Music on Yahoo!: The first step in a multi-phase program, Mobliss will help LAUNCH provide their new polyphonic ringtone store available exclusively to AT&T Wireless customers. 

·         Mobliss Music: For the first time, Mobliss can deliver ringtones directly to consumers under its own brand.  Available initially to customers of AT&T Wireless, this venture reinforces Mobliss’ technical leadership and knowledge of the rapidly evolving mobile marketplace and consumer tastes.
