Cellmania Signs Strategic Licensing Agreement With Motorola To Strengthen Worldwide Developer Network
Leading to Increased WAP Applications and Content for Mobile Consumers
Las Vegas, CA - CES, January 8, 2001 - Cellmania, a leading provider of time-based, location-centric wireless business platforms, today announced a strategic licensing agreement with Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) for a customized version of Cellmania's mFinder™. This new relationship represents Motorola's commitment to enriching the wireless experience by providing wireless site developers with a resource tailored specifically to help them create meaningful content for consumers using Motorola's mobile devices. mFinder is a directory of more than 10,000 of the best wireless Internet sites from 95 countries. These sites have been reviewed and certified by Cellmania's editorial board for overall usefulness to the mobile consumer, content, ease of use and navigation, interactivity, and robustness of site.
"With this deal, we will provide Motorola with a developer destination site that can be a place for their developers to view the best wireless Internet sites currently available to serve as a learning tool for their own site development," said Dr. Ronjon Nag, CEO and cofounder of Cellmania. "Cellmania's mFinder also features a unique emulator capability that allows developers to test their own sites on the desktop to make sure they are functioning properly before sharing them with the public."
With the customized version of mFinder, Motorola can further enhance support for and build interest in wireless development and provide developers with a resource to research current applications. Motorola's certified developers can also submit their own sites to the directory for review and rating by Cellmania.
"Since Cellmania's inception, Motorola has strongly believed in the company and its list of offerings to wireless providers," said Yvonne Verse, vice president and director, Data Solutions Platform Technology and Third Party Developer Support, Motorola's Personal Networks Group. "mFinder will be invaluable to our network of developers in becoming leaders in the field, while also helping to deliver on Motorola's promise to provide the best products and wireless content to our customers."
Mobile consumers will also benefit from the relationship through the increased awareness of innovative WAP content available to them via Motorola devices. Motorola will be featuring a wide range of WAP applications and content in booth #15-032 at CES.
