Microsoft Welcomes World's First Provider of Wireless Personalized Audio Streaming to Their Mobile Solutions Partner Program: MobileBriefs

    ATLANTA and NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 7 NAB 2001 -- After months
of development and testing, MobileBriefs announced the immediate commercial
licensing availability of its wireless Personalized Audio Broadcasting (PAB)
mobile audio technology and also announced today that it has formally joined
the Microsoft Mobile Solutions Partner Program.
    Users now have the ability to both create and receive their personalized
audio show, which they can listen to (or read via ebook format) while on the
go!  This highly personalized technology is the first of its kind to give any
user ultimate control while in transit.  Whether a user wants the latest news
within their trade industry or job function or top audiobooks, MobileBriefs
Personalized Audio Broadcast (PAB) can deliver to their exact preferences,
even lasting the exact length of their commute or travel time.
    The user's personalized show can be accessed by a variety of methods.
Wireless streaming of their personalized show is now fully optimized for the
vast majority of mobile devices to include Microsoft's own PocketPC platform.
All PocketPC-based devices (i.e. Compaq iPAQ, HP Jornada, Casio Cassiopeia,
etc) can access the streamed content over a wide variety of 2.5G and 3G
systems to include GPRS, CDMA2000 and WCDMA.  Users without wireless access or
where coverage is unavailable (subways, trains, and planes) may also perform a
traditional synchronization to automatically receive their show in advance.
    "We are thrilled to be a part of the Microsoft Mobile Solutions Partner
Program," states Michael Price, CEO of MobileBriefs.  "Our complex
personalized audio engine gives us the ability to deliver automatically
customized rich media content to mobile users and corporations around the
world.  With the support we receive from the Microsoft program, we will be
able to further expand our efforts."
    "We're happy to welcome MobileBriefs into the Mobile Solutions Partner
Program," said Vimal Sethi, product manager for the Mobile Solutions Partner
Program.  "We are pleased they have chosen to work with us to provide
excellent mobile products and services."
