Mobile Entertainment Pioneer Helps Carriers Turn Mobile Phones into Easy-to-Use
Music Players; Gives Consumers Anywhere Access to Their Music Libraries
PALO ALTO, Calif., - March 12, 2007 - mSpot, a pioneer in mobile music, radio
and video entertainment services, today unveiled mSpot Remix, a music player with
wireless syncing capabilities that lets consumers use their mobile phones to access
and play their PC’s music library from anywhere. By overcoming the design limitations
of current-generation mobile phones – limited storage, complicated user interface,
and lack of an easy way to manage and sync music and playlists – mSpot Remix unlocks
the music player potential of mobile phones.
“With the announcement of the iPhone, Apple has validated that the future direction
of mobile music is converged phone/player devices, and the race is on to grab
share in what promises to be a multi-billion dollar industry,” said Daren Tsui,
co-founder and CEO of mSpot. “While there is no doubt that Apple will provide
a great user experience on the iPhone, the reality is that there are already hundreds
of millions of music-capable mobile phones in the hands of consumers. mSpot gives
carriers a way to turn these phones into user-friendly, well-designed music devices
that make it easy for consumers to discover, play and manage their music.”
mSpot Remix includes PC music management software and a mobile client that connect
over a carrier’s network to make every song on the PC available for streaming
and wireless syncing. When a consumer hits “play” from the mSpot Remix mobile
client, Remix immediately starts streaming songs while it downloads the track
– and the rest of the playlist – in the background. Remix then saves the songs
to the phone’s memory card so that the consumer has access to favorite songs when
not connected to the network.
Remix’s elegant, easy-to-use mobile music player makes it simple for consumers
to use their phone to navigate, select and play any combination of songs or playlists,
while it seamlessly manages the process of streaming and downloading to ensure
an instant, uninterrupted listening experience – regardless of whether the songs
on the playlist are on the phone or the PC.
mSpot will make Remix available to wireless carriers as an integrated component
of its managed mobile music services. By adding Remix’s wireless PC-to-mobile
syncing capabilities to its turnkey mobile entertainment solutions, mSpot enable
carriers to offer a seamless, integrated mobile entertainment experience where
consumers can discover, manage, purchase and enjoy music, radio, podcasts, movies,
videos and original programming.
mSpot will be demonstrating mSpot Remix at CTIA WIRELESS 2007 in Orlando, Fla.
March 27 – 29 2007. To see Remix in action, visit mSpot in the QUALCOMM booth,
#1645.
