Vodafone Deal for Gamer.tv
LONDON, July 5: Vodafone Live! customers in the Netherlands can now access Gamer.tv video content on their mobile phones for 0.25 euros per clip.
Dutch gamers can stream video clips about the latest video games from around the world, directly to their mobile phones. The videos will be updated every weekday and include video game reviews and previews ranging from one and a half to three minutes in length.
“The key to our successes is matching the right content with the media, rather than simply rehashing back catalogue TV content,” said Barnabas Cleave, the business development manager at Gamer.tv. “As we’ve found from our U.K., Australia and New Zealand launches, gamers are keen to get quality information about games on the go.”
Intel invests in movie downloads
Correspondents in Idaho
JULY 07, 2005
INTEL said that it has made an investment in ClickStar, a new digital entertainment company that aims to offer an online movie download service over the internet.
Intel will join the project with Revelations Entertainment, created by actor Morgan Freeman and producer Lori McCreary, the group said in a statement issued to US media and technology executives.
ClickStar's strategy is to create an online service in which consumers can access, pay for and download first-run, pre-DVD-release films and artist-created entertainment channels in their homes," the group said.
"This new online destination will be designed to give filmmakers a vehicle to connect directly with fans and offer consumers a new way of experiencing home entertainment. ClickStar will enable new business models resulting in increased revenue opportunities for the film industry."
"ClickStar addresses the growing worldwide consumer demand for digital content - especially filmed entertainment," Mr Freeman said. "Our goal is to deliver first-run premium entertainment to film fans around the world and to make film easier to buy than to pirate."
"This is a significant step that will transform the consumer's entertainment experience in the digital home," Intel chief executive Paul Otellini said.
"With Intel's new digital entertainment platforms and ClickStar's exciting new digital entertainment service, consumers will be able to watch first-run films and premium content from the comfort of their living rooms."

I'm pretty sure they own the word, and we are live.
There are many others "live" - directed to regular websites as well as WAP websites.

Virgin Mobile, BT Livetime trial live mobile TV
07/06/2005 by Leigh Phillips
Print / Email Colleague / Add Comment / Comments (0)
Virgin Mobile has announced a partnership with BT Livetime in order to offer Virgin Mobile’s customers a live digital television service broadcast to their phones.
The television service will offer Virgin Mobile’s customers access to live digital TV 24-hours a day, and features the UK’s first mobile Electronic Programme Guide (EPG), so customers can see what’s on television and set an alert to remind them when a favourite programme is about to start, up to a week ahead. Ultimately, Virgin Mobile TV will also let customers record their favourite programmes to watch later on their mobile.
Virgin Mobile and network partner BT Livetime will this month pilot the service over a four-month trial in the M25 region. The TV service will be broadcast over the DAB digital radio network.
Initially, the pilot will provide selected Virgin Mobile customers with access to Sky Sports News, Sky News and Blaze, a new music channel designed for mobile television, and to some 50 digital radio channels. The technology allows for significant channel expansion after the commercial launch.
Alongside BT Livetime, other key partners for the pilot are Microsoft, Sky, Arqiva (formerly NTL Broadcast), HTC, GCap Media and its subsidiary Digital One.

BITES uses colour-enhanced WAP (GPRS) to bring to life the new generation of colour-screen camera phones. All Virgin Mobile customers can get Bites – not just the ones with the latest phones, either by text or on their WAP phone. In addition, new Virgin Mobile phones feature a ‘Virgin key’ giving instant and easy access to BITES.
Nick White, head of value added services at Virgin Mobile, said: “BITES reflects the fact that mobile phones are now an indispensable part of people's lives - something to reach for when bored or in need of stimulation. Whether it's waiting for mates in a bar, sitting on the bus, BITES means that Virgin Mobile customers can be entertained when and wherever they like.
“Boredom sucks. Virgin Mobile BITES. And its’ got attitude. Our mantra is: Wherever there is boredom – entertain.”
The launch of BITES also marks the first time that Virgin Mobile has published a customer magazine for its 4.2million customers.

BITES has been created exclusively for Virgin Mobile with several key partners: Que Pasa Communications, an agency that specialises in planning, creating and delivering multi-platform content in the youth/young adult market. Virgin Mobile’s brand agency Start Creative has named and designed the look and feel of the service and developed the BITES magazine. On the technical side, Infospace Mobile has provided the underlying technology and infrastructure. This also includes, downloadable content direct from the WAP platform, as well as device optimisation, ensuring all content is properly rendered so customers can access the best content for their handset model

Nickelodeon site launches
Published: June 3, 1997, 12:05 PM PDT
By Jeff Pelline
Staff Writer, CNET News.com
TrackBack Print E-mail TalkBack
The market for online services aimed at children heated up yesterday with the launch of a Web site from television powerhouse Nickelodeon.
The site, which includes television program listings, games, trivia, jokes, and information on volunteerism, is another example of a media giant using the Web to leverage its entertainment value and cross-promote with television. The Web has been cutting into TV viewing of late, and media companies would prefer to capitalize on the trend rather than suffer as a result of it.
As reported Friday evening by CNET's NEWS.COM, Nick's corporate parent Viacom kept details of the long-awaited launch under wraps, but an executive from Rare Medium, which created the site, on Friday talked about the launch.
The site, combining entertainment with promotion, will be free and will rely on advertising from the Gap, General Mills, and Sony, among others, Rare Medium President Glenn Meyers said. It also will feature advertising from America Online, Meyers said. A Nick site is already hosted by AOL, and that will continue, Meyers said.
"Nick on the Web's" strategy contrasts with the recently launched Disney Daily Blast, a Web-based children's service that costs $4.95 per month, or $39.95 per year. As previously reported, later this year Disney is expected to expand its offerings to include "D-mail," chat, and other interactive features in an online service, probably with "bring your own" Net access. Disney wouldn't comment.
There will be no email or chat on the Nick site; it will feature some interactive features, such as letting children suggest some of the content. One unique feature will let children create their own drag-and-drop icon, such as Superman, that can be used to access the page from their computer screens.
Features include five newly created characters in categories such as games, TV Land (Nick's TV listings), "Big help" (focusing on volunteerism), "Juicy" (jokes and other content), and "magazine" (featuring more Nick content).
Meyers said he thinks the fact that the Nick site is free will make it easier to expand. Disney has advertising as well, but it is separated from the content by "buffer" screens, making the site seem less commercial.
Rare Medium began work on the Nick site last November. It also created the popular "You Rule School" children's site for General Mills.
The online kids' market is poised for rapid growth. By the end of 2002, Jupiter Communications projects revenues of $1.8 billion, up from $306 million this year.
Other newly launched sites include PBS Kids and Noodle Kidoodle.
On Thursday and Friday in San Francisco, Jupiter will hold a "Digital Kids" online conference. It will feature Nickelodeon president Herb Scannell, Yahoo chief executive Tim Koogle, Disney Online president Jake Winebaum, and Time New Media president Linda McCutcheon-Conneally, among others.
Don't forget Aura Digital stated that they will launch PaperClick in July.
The Bluetooth shopping centre
October 12, 2004 A new location-based Bluetooth customer service system will begin operation later this week in Sydney. The bluepulse system enables people within the shopping centre to use their mobile phones to get useful information they want about their surroundings.
Broadway Shopping Centre in central Sydney will become the first Bluetooth-enabled shopping centre on Friday, October 22, allowing retail outlets in the Broadway Centre to communicate with 'bluepulse' subscribers as they walk through the centre by giving consumers access to relevant and valuable information and offers through their mobile phone.
Compatible 'Bluetooth' enabled mobile phones, can access specific mobile content as soon as the owner enters the Broadway Centre.
The simple Bluepulse demo is a knockout (30 seconds and you'll "get it") and is sure to ignite a lot of interest in the way we use new technologies such as BlueTooth and WiFi in public information networks.
Bluepulse MD Ben Keighran believes, "that in the not-too-distant future, people will expect to receive information relevant to their surroundings on the screens of their mobile phones". This will be regardless of the communication network they are connected to and the type of device they have.
"It need not be a shopping centre. You can do this at a football stadium, or any place where a lot of people need information so they can make the best use of their surroundings.
"To the consumer it's about the usefulness of the content and with geographic relevance comes a new level of compelling and useful even critical content. At the sports stadium it might be an action replay, or at a festival or concert it might be the schedule, finding friends in the crowd.
"Because we have greater bandwidth than 3G, we can wirelessly deliver file sizes a lot larger than you can deliver by MMS - ringtones and logos will be part of the offering as we go forward.
Hoyts will be providing streaming video previews of movies being shown in the centre's cinema and there's plenty of opportunity for movie theatres to use this type of technology to sell vacant seats too.
Customer/Shopper benefits
Based on a shopper's "profile" which is developed over time, the system is always looking for things of relevance and a number of other services are expected to develop over time.
Bluepulse in its launch version is already compelling, offering many benefits to shoppers such as:
* an ingenious service for giving real world directions. As the service knows your geographic location, it can give directions to locate, for example, a particular shop, an ATM or toilet with step-by-step directions using real world landmarks down to the nearest metre - "proceed towards the fountain until you reach the tobacconist on the right hand side"
* free SMS and MMS to other members within the shopping centre - as the local BlueTooth network carries the messages, traffic can be provided free
* an events calendar including movie times, movie or show synopses and watch video movie trailers and buy movie tickets with the cellphone
* a buddy system similar to instant messenger and the ability to geographically locate other members who are friends, within the shopping centre (Michael is standing outside McDonalds)
* a constantly updated list of special offers available within the shopping centre (free muffin with a coffee this hour, two for one meals, shoes on special etc)
* download offer coupons to redeem special discounts by simply presenting their phone at the participating retail outlet.
* have your shopping list appear from your home computer. Just enter your shopping list into your online bluepulse account and view it every time you go shopping.
You can also use bluepulse through normal carrier networks when outside the shopping centre's Bluetooth network.
Keighran describes bluepulse as "like having the world's biggest search engine in your pocket, constantly searching for information, then presenting the results on the screen of your mobile".
How it works?
bluepulse is a simple application for mobile phones, which allow a person to receive information, based on their surroundings - "location based information".
If you have a reasonably recent mobile phone with Bluetooth technology (most mobile phones purchased in the last two years have it), you can activate bluepulse.
Bluepulse can be accessed via a local Bluetooth network or a carrier network (e.g. Telstra, Vodafone, Optus, 3). When you open bluepulse on your phone, it automatically searches for an available network and then connects to it and retrieves any information that is relevant to you, presenting the results on the screen of your mobile phone.
Bluepulse provides new and exciting experiences for mobile phone users as well as new revenue streams and marketing opportunities for carriers, content providers and public place operators such as shopping centres, airports and stadiums.
Keighran says, "bluepulse is creating a world where finding information that is relevant to peoples' surroundings will be as easy as glancing at their mobile phone".
International rollout for 2006
"Australia will be the testbed for bluepulse," according to Keighran. We expect to have 20 shopping centres operating before the end of 2005 within Australia.
"In the future, Keighran believes all shopping centres and public places will have their own wireless network, and we'd like to think our network can run over the top regardless of what they're running.
Customer/Shopper benefits
The bluepulse service offers a variety of benefits for shops and shopping centre management, according to Keighran.
"Most importantly, it enables the shopping centre to enhance the customer experience, but there are many other aspects which offer savings and efficiency.
"For example, centre staff wear a Bluetooth badge which enables management to monitor staff geographically and deploy people quickly who are near to, for example, a milkshake spill in a busy thoroughfare. There's also has an emergency button so management is instantly aware of all situations.
"There are some strict regulations about the obligations of a shopping centre to keep a safe, clean environment and our system offers a great staff management solution to provide a cleaner and safer shopping environment.
"It's also possible to understand customer traffic patterns on a new level. How many and how customers move through a shopping centre can now be accurately monitored.
Bluepulse technology will allow retail outlets in the Broadway Centre to communicate with 'bluepulse' subscribers as they walk through the centre by giving consumers access to relevant and valuable information and offers through their mobile phone.
"We believe that Bluepulse technology will, before long, become an integral part of every shopping centre because by providing consumers with access to valuable information and offers, retailers can increase the footfall and sales through their store.
"If the consumer's permission is granted then relevant and targeted information may even be delivered to the consumers as they pass by the shop front."
AURA Digital Communications will manage bluepulse's content partner relationships. Interested parties should contact Adam Dunne at AURA Digital Communications on adam@aura.net.au or visit the web site www.aura.net.au

Crush,
I'm with you on Mr. Softee.
However, Mr. Softee already knows about Neomedia. What interests me is who else reads Scoble. Forward thinking companies looking for an edge.
Who reads Scobleizer.
Think about how much fun can be had with a barcode treasure hunt.
