Jamster! - The Mobile Portal for Entertainment, Information, Downloads and Multimedia

BERLIN, November 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Jamster! (http://jamster.co.uk and http://www.jamster.ie), Europe's
leading portal for mobile entertainment, is the intelligent companion for
mobile customers. Jamster! develops, markets and distributes digital content
and applications for the newest generation of GPRS, MMS and 3G mobile
handsets. A wide variety of mobile services are provided by Jamster, such
as Information, Entertainment, Shopping, Downloads, Graphics, Ringtones,
and MMS Greeting Cards. Jamster! enables the user to fully customise his
handset to become a mobile office, a game console, a portable music player
or a communications hub.


As proven by numerous studies by respected research organisations, the
market for mobile entertainment in GB/Ireland is especially large. This
is due to the high mobile handset penetration and expanding interest in
the use of mobile products such as music and graphics to individualise
mobile handsets. Jamster! acknowledges this trend, and thus seeks to provide
customers with the high quality mobile products and services they desire.



Jamster's extensive offer


There are more than 1,000 different offers to choose from on the
Jamster! portal. Downloads, games, useful programs, e-mail, sport news,
photo albums and much more are ready to download at the push of a button -
numerous offers to amuse and assist the user on the move. Jamster! makes
these products available on most major platforms, such as SMS, WAP, and
i-mode, - including the newest generations of mobile services such as
Multimedia Messaging (MMS), Video Streaming and other products for 3G
networks.


Furthermore, users have access to thousands of ringtones and graphics
which can be used by the customer to individually customise his mobile
handset or surprise his friends and colleagues. Football, Dance, Film, TV,
Classics, Cartoons, Animals, Holiday, Greetings, Muppets, Spooky,
University - it is hard to find any category for which Jamster! does not
have the right sounds or graphics available to download.


Video Ringtones - Video clips which can be set as ringtones - are the
latest best seller from the hit-makers at Jamster!


Also recently available are many new useful Java-programs which make
life easier, including turning the handset into a communications hub, a
flashlight, a greeting card center and e-book reader, a shopping helper,
an alcohol tester, a fitness trainer, a translator, a driving range, a bank
safe, and more - hundreds of applications are available to choose from.


Jamster! - The innovation leader guides you through the mobile Internet


Jamster! continuously develops and markets new products and services
which set the trend in mobile market development.


For example, Jamster! was the first provider of commercial Mobile
Messaging (MMS). Customers can download static and animated graphics from
the Jamster! E-Card MMS Gallery, which they can then send as an MMS with
sound and a personal message.


Video Ringtones - the newest trend for Mobiles


Jamster! Is one of the first European mobile portal to offer Video
Ringtones for sale. When the phone rings, the user hears not only a
ringtone, but also sees an accompanying video clip on his screen. This
product works with real video data - not just animated pictures.


Instant Messaging for the mobile handset


After the youth market established SMS as a universal communication
medium, a new era is arriving: Mobile Instant Messaging. The communications
platform, well known among PC users, can now be used on mobiles and expands
upon the capabilities of SMS. While SMS restricts you to text
communication, Instant Messaging enables you to exchange feelings, develop
friendships, and meet like-minded people.


The first Multi-player game for mobiles


Taxi-Fever represented Jamster!'s first multi-player game for mobile
handsets. Whoever downloads this exciting action and communication game to
their mobile can play simultaneously with other players throughout the
world. The feeling of playing with real people, the amazing graphics, the
combination of action and logic, as well as a simple game idea provides
the user with hours of gaming fun.


The first Photo Studio for Mobiles


Whoever enjoys taking digital pictures with his camera will be thrilled
with the program PhotoExpress M-Style for Photos (by Ulead). With
PhotoExpress M.Style, users can develop their photos in their individual
styles - retouch photos, insert colour filters, add messages and emoticons
create electronic photo-cards and send via MMS - on the mobile, without a
computer. Create small works of art while on the go!


Powerful File Manager


Jamster! now offers a powerful file manager for Nokia handsets, called
FileMan. The program impresses with highly professional functions,
previously only known for PC-use, from easy changes of data to the ability
to freely change the button settings on the handset.


The functions available with FileMan leave almost no wish
unfulfilled: cut, insert, rename and delete files, complete file
information, create new files, edit file attributes, create shortcuts,
open with various applications, mark, search, find, extended search, send
via infra-red, bluetooth, E-mail and MMS, sort by name, file type, size
and date, create a filter for the email, change the settings, and much
much more.


Read books on your mobile


Jamster! now has the first e-Book Reader for mobile handsets. The
program displays books and documents in the standard eBook Format on the
handset's screen.


Jamster! also developed the first email program which enables the user
to read attachments and PDF files on mobile displays.


Transparency and Cost Control with Jamster!


Since the beginning, Jamster! has placed a great value to ensure that
its offers are transparent for its customers. Users are able to quickly
and easily see which offers are available for which handset models and
what they cost, due to our intuitive handset model oriented menu
structure. Therefore, we are able to prevent users from downloading
products which are not available for their handsets.


Jamster! offers its products at attractive prices, for example,
ringtones and games in packages from as low as GBP 3 (Ireland 4 EUR).


Customers can freely choose how to order


Jamster! provides its customers with the choice to order any of our
over 50.000 digital products singly over the Internet. This function is
especially useful for customers wanting to try our service for the first
time.


Many customers actively choose to purchase a monthly package and
save up to 80% versus the purchase of a single product. For example, on
the Internet, a customer can purchase a monthly package for 6 GBP/ 8 EUR,
and receive up to 20 ringtones of his choice. Whoever downloads more than
one ringtone per month saves a lot, e.g. if a customers downloading 20
ringtones a month only pay 30 pence/ 40 cent per tone. On top of that
customers can quickly and easily cancel the package at anytime from
anywhere they like over our customer hotline, via SMS, Fax, Post or
through the website.


The cost controls are warranted through the transparent billing on the
mobile Telephone invoice.


An ever increasing demand is expected


More and more consumers want the ability to add more functionality to
their mobile handsets and therefore also more fun.


This optimistic view is based upon the expanding choices for new
mobiles, such as those which support Java programs, CD quality ringtones,
and have such sharp displays as to allow the user to play games of a
quality comparable to game consoles such as Gameboy. In addition, the
mobile market will continue to grow as the demand for camera enabled
mobiles increases.
