Wallpaper Universe Launches on AT&T Wireless' mMode(TM) Service

PLEASANTON, Calif., Aug. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- FunMail announced today that Wallpaper Universe is now available on AT&T Wireless' popular mMode(TM) service, making the successful wireless mobile portal available to mMode subscribers with color handsets. The service enables these subscribers to pick from a huge catalog of fresh and fun backgrounds for their mobile devices, ranging from Hollywood blockbusters like Shrek 2, The Day After Tomorrow, and Van Helsing to timeless favorites like Dilbert and Snoopy.


Additionally the launch brings AT&T Wireless mMode users an innovative feature called Name Tags, which lets them personalize their phone with their own name. For example, one Name Tag features a graphic of a "Hello, My Name Is" sticker onto which people can add their name (or whatever they want) which is then displayed as a unique wallpaper on their wireless phone's screen.
Wallpaper Universe, which has been successfully launched on a variety of mobile carriers, brings one of America's leading Wallpaper portals to AT&T Wireless mMode users. Wallpaper Universe has a host of unique features that make it a one-of-a-kind wallpaper service that will enable AT&T Wireless mMode subscribers with color handsets users to customize their handsets in new and exciting ways.
The Wallpaper Universe system is a leading consumer wallpaper portal that was released on November 1st, 2003. Since then the service has been successfully launched on the nation's largest mobile carriers and is currently expanding its syndication channel to include other operators and portals in the U.S. and abroad. Wallpaper Universe enables mobile content editors to browse its current wallpaper offerings via a secure website, request specific content, and have it custom rendered to their exact specifications. Wallpaper Universe makes it very convenient for these editors to access a broad variety of interesting content, saving time and frustration.
"We have made it very easy for carriers and portals to work with us and significantly expanded the supply channel by making Wallpaper Universe accessible to independent artists and studios," said FunMail CEO Adam Lavine. "The system is also available for white label, for studios that want to syndicate their own content, but don't want to deal with the creation, hosting, syndication and reconciliation of thousands of different pieces of content."
