appMobi^® (www.appmobi.com) today announced the addition of four mobile Web services to its comprehensive Platform as a Service (PaaS) mobile app ecosystem solution. Through its free cross platform developer toolkit, the appMobi XDK, appMobi now provides mobile application and Web developers the most complete integrated set of hosted tools and services.

appMobi’s new mobile Web services – including 1Touch™ frictionless payments, pushMobi™ multimedia push notifications, statMobi™ mobile analytics, and LiveUpdates™ over-the-air app updates – join a comprehensive suite of tools enabling any developer to create engaging and monetizable mobile apps, enable mobile commerce and analyze usage.

The appMobi XDK provides integrated tools for fully testing and publishing HTML-based code as either native apps or WebApps. Through the XDK, appMobi’s mobile Web services are uniformly available to mobile Web, Apple iOS, Google Android and BlackBerry developers. Apps built with the appMobi XDK, whether native or not, can all utilize native device features, such as the accelerometer, camera, GPS and file system. With the addition of these new mobile Web services, developers can use the appMobi XDK to easily augment existing apps or build new apps that go well beyond the capabilities of currently available apps:

• 1Touch Frictionless Payments – Selected as a finalist in the 2011 CTIA E-Tech Awards, the 1Touch payment technology enables “single touch” in-app purchases within apps or websites through a highly-secure mobile wallet on the device and a few lines of HTML code. Though Apple’s “Paid Subscriptions” and Google’s “One Pass” systems make in-app purchasing of virtual goods easy, they don’t address the buying of physical goods, nor do they work on the mobile Web. appMobi’s 1Touch complements these app stores with one touch purchasing of physical or virtual goods either from within apps or via the mobile Web. 1Touch integrates with payment gateways such as Authorize.Net and PayPal, and with carrier billing. 1Touch brings the ease and convenience of secure frictionless payments to the entire mobile space, finally opening the mobile market to merchants selling physical goods.
• pushMobi Multimedia Push Notifications – Push messaging is a proven and powerful way to engage users through mobile apps, alerting them to news, information and messages. With pushMobi, appMobi has evolved push messaging to a new level, delivering rich media messages with video, audio and HTML5 content. The pushMobi online dashboard (which integrates with any ad campaign management software) lets content providers target groups of users based on device, geography, demographics and other criteria.
• statMobi Mobile Analytics – Advertisers and webmasters depend on analytics to measure the effectiveness of campaigns and content. statMobi provides app developers the first comprehensive set of analytic tools for measuring app usage, both online and offline. statMobi mobile analytics tracks app starts, clickstreams, push messaging reception and response, and payments made, among other data points. statMobi continuously captures metrics even when a device is offline during app use, then sends them once the device is back online. statMobi is the only “always-on” mobile analytics tool.
• LiveUpdates OTA App Updating – Apps created using the appMobi XDK can now push new content, features, bug fixes and new versions over-the-air right to users’ devices, without requiring an app store update. With LiveUpdates, developers can better ensure that their users have the latest content and newest versions of their apps.

appMobi is at the vanguard of mobile application innovation. At Mobile World Congress in February 2011, the company unveiled MobiUs™ – the first-of-its-kind mobile Web browser technology. Mobius allows developers to create Web applications – or WebApps – that exceed the functionality possible with native apps produced without the appMobi XDk, putting the entire World Wide Web on equal footing with app stores as the distribution channel for discovering, downloading and interacting with mobile apps.

Download the appMobi XDK at http://xdk.appmobi.com.

Attendees of CTIA WIRELESS 2011, held March 22 to 24 in Orlando, Florida, can visit appMobi’s booth 3196, located inside the Apps World section of the exhibit floor, for a demonstration of the entire appMobi PaaS.

Bitstream Inc. (NASDAQ: BITS) today announced availability of the BOLT™ SDK, a suite of technology and tools that enables mobile application developers to build feature rich Java (Java ME) applications that work just as well on entry-level feature phones as they do on high-end smartphones. Now any company with Web-based content, such as media companies, can produce mobile apps that are ready to run on billions of mobile phones already in the market.

“Because of our expertise in rendering Web content on mobile devices, Bitstream was approached by developers trying to solve the problem of displaying dynamic Web content within an app without requiring the launch of an external browser, which takes the user outside of the app,” said Sampo Kaasila, vice president of research development at Bitstream. “To Bitstream the solution was simple: use the BOLT architecture from within the app. While there may be ways to embed Web content inside smartphone apps, no such capabilities natively exist for Java feature phones, and the BOLT SDK fills that gap.”

BOLT, widely regarded as the industry’s most feature-rich mobile browser, delivers faster page load times and best in class HTML 5 support enabling access to capabilities typically associated with desktop browsers to any type of mobile phone platform. To achieve both its speed and advanced features, Bitstream engineered a WebKit-based cloud-computing architecture that enables all of the BOLT browser’s capabilities.

This cloud-computing architecture is available to developers, enterprises and service providers as the BOLT SDK, which can be used to build Web content into robust applications delivered through their own custom user interfaces. The BOLT SDK supports Web apps written in HTML5, JavaScript and other Web programming languages, and can deliver the same features employed by BOLT including the downloading files, desktop style layout and delivering high performance on resource constrained devices.

The BOLT SDK together with the data compression inherent in the BOLT cloud computing architecture also gives Java ME apps for feature phones an advantage over smartphone apps in both speed of Web content as well as data consumption.

The BOLT SDK can now be used by application developers looking to seamlessly integrate Web content in their applications with the widest possible mobile phone support. The BOLT SDK is completely customizable and depending on the required application capabilities, can be configured in terms of package size and memory usage.

Bitstream will be demonstrating the BOLT cloud computing mobile browser and the BOLT SDK at CTIA WIRELESS in Orlando, Florida, March 22 to 24 in booth 1922. Wireless operators, handset manufacturers and service providers should contact boltsales@bitstream.com to learn more about the BOLT SDK.

About BOLT
Licensed by handset manufacturers and wireless operators around the world, the BOLT mobile browser delivers PC-style browsing with advanced features such as tabbed browsing, streaming audio and video, and integrated social networking in a relatively small application that is also the industry’s most feature rich mobile browser. BOLT is available for Java ME, BREW and BlackBerry devices and has already been installed on thousands of different handset models. BOLT’s WebKit based cloud computing infrastructure integrates easily with carriers’ billing and OSS systems, and significantly reduces infrastructure costs with its best-in-class data compression. The BOLT SDK allows any service provider the ability to create custom Web-enabled applications that run on the widest possible number of mobile phones. Wireless operators, handset OEMs and service providers should contact boltsales@bitstream.com to learn more about BOLT.

About Bitstream

RGB Networks, the leader in high-capacity multi-screen video delivery, will showcase its solutions for optimizing the delivery of video to mobile, tablet, PC and TV environments. At Mobile World Congress, RGB will demonstrate its award-winning Video Multiprocessing Gateway (VMG™), the industry’s only carrier-class platform for multi-screen video delivery, as well as its TransAct Packager, which enables the formatting and delivery of high-quality video content on any IP-capable device.

Driven by the growing availability of low-cost, high-resolution mobile devices, personal computers, and Internet-connected TVs, consumer demand has increased substantially for the availability of video on any device and over any network connection. This demand, however, is not without its complications, and with mobile video emerging as the integral part of the video experience, operators have to introduce new delivery technologies, content protection and monetization strategies in order to ensure its success.

As will be demonstrated at the show, RGB delivers the key infrastructure elements to enable an integrated IP-based, multi-device experience. Mobile World Congress highlights will include the ability of RGB’s VMG/TransAct Packager solution to seamlessly deliver video to multiple mobile devices including an iPad, iPhone and Samsung Galaxy Tab, as well as a laptop PC and a large-screen HDTV. This demonstration illustrates the ease with which video services providers can deliver premium content, in MPEG-2 and MPEG-4/H.264 formats, simultaneously to any device. The demonstration will also showcase the VMG’s ad insertion capabilities, showing how providers can seamlessly extend their existing advertising strategies to incorporate any type of video-enabled device.

“Video is becoming a key element of any mobile service provider’s offering and should play an essential part in any operator’s strategy to compete,” said Ramin Farassat, vice president of product marketing and business development for RGB Networks. “However, all too often infrastructure challenges and cost can act as barriers to adoption. As we’ll demonstrate at Mobile World Congress, RGB Networks’ products provide a multi-device IP delivery solution that can scale for any size deployment, while delivering a sound return on investment through ad insertion.”

One of the challenges to delivering premium mobile video services, offering both live and on-demand programming, is meeting the demand for the large number of video profiles–the same video streams at various resolutions and bit-rates–that must be generated to accommodate the growing number of mobile devices, including feature phones, smartphones and the proliferation of video-enabled tablets. With the profile count in the hundreds, and rapidly growing into the thousands, operators require a highly scalable, high-capacity, solution for real-time transcoding, along with a flexible solution to ‘package’ output streams for a number of adaptive streaming protocols, while also providing encryption and support for digital rights management (DRM). RGB offers just that–a multi-screen video delivery solution that can meet the requirements of any deployment–large or small–without breaking the bank, consuming excessive rack space, or requiring unnecessary management time and resources.

Executives from RGB Networks will be available at stand 2B101 at Mobile World Congress, taking place February 14-17, 2011 in Barcelona, to answer questions and provide a hands-on demonstration of the unique advantages of RGB’s three screen video delivery and monetization solution.

About RGB Networks
RGB Networks enables video service providers to migrate to a three screen environment for the delivery of linear and on-demand video over managed and unmanaged IP networks. The company’s success is based on core strengths in transcoding, advertising and overlay insertion, ultra-dense modulation and statistical multiplexing. RGB’s solutions for video delivery to TVs, desktop and mobile devices are built to deliver the highest video quality at the best price-performance on the market—they uniquely offer the density and scalability required to support the growing demands of consumers with integrated functionality that simplifies operators’ network architectures and minimizes operational costs. RGB’s products are deployed by over 200 cable, telco, satellite, OTT and mobile operators in 30+ countries. Backed by principal investors Accel Partners, Kleiner Perkins Kaufield and Byers, and Comcast Interactive, RGB is a private, profitable company based in Sunnyvale, California with offices around the world.

Flycell, Inc. (www.Flycell.com), a leading mobile and online entertainment content company, today announced quarterly financial results for Q2 2010, indicating the company continues to have strong sales in mobile and digital content. Despite new North American and European mobile commerce regulations that took effect in the second quarter in both markets, creating conditions that negatively impact revenue across the mobile content industry, Flycell reported revenue of $36.4 million for the three months ending June 30, 2010. Combined with the company’s Q1 results, Flycell’s first half revenue figure for 2010 stands at $76.2 million, up 26 percent over the first half of 2009.

Flycell also announced the appointment of Cristian Carnevale as its CEO. Mr. Carnevale previously served as Flycell’s chief operating officer, a position he has held since Flycell was founded in 2004, and has been instrumental in leading the company through years of consistently strong revenue growth and international expansion. Mr. Carnevale, who replaced Alberto Montesi in August, has served in several executive positions with Flycell’s parent company, Acotel Group, including as its chief technology officer. He also played a key role in the company’s successful IPO in 2000.

“Changes in business conditions in important countries in which Flycell operates impacted Flycell’s revenue in Q2 2010, masking our continued growth,” said Mr. Carnevale. “Although revenue is down slightly from the previous quarter and same quarter last year, we at Flycell continue to expand our customer base. Flycell is a nimble organization and is adapting quickly to changes in business conditions. The company is looking forward to continuing its strong revenue throughout the year, making 2010 its most successful year ever.”

Flycell took in just over $36.4 million in revenue in Q2 2010 as compared to $39.6 million earned in Q2 2009. Last quarter Flycell reported $39.8 million in revenue, the company’s strongest first quarter to-date, giving the company H1 2010 revenue of $76.2 million compared with $60.5 million earned in the first six months of 2009.

RGB Networks, the leader in network video processing, has taken three screen delivery to the next level with today’s acquisition of RipCode, Inc., a privately held developer of solutions for mobile IP video. RGB will incorporate RipCode’s technology into its Video Multiprocessing Gateway (VMG) enabling video service providers to cost-effectively deliver services to their subscribers on TVs, PCs and mobile devices.

“As video service providers consolidate their headends and build converged delivery networks, they require highly reliable IP video solutions that scale efficiently across all subscriber devices,” said Jef Graham, CEO of RGB Networks. “With the integration of RipCode’s mobile delivery technology into our modular, high-density Video Multiprocessing Gateway, RGB can offer a unified content delivery solution for TV, PCs and mobile in a scalable, carrier-class platform. We are already seeing tremendous interest in our multi-function VMG and this bold move quickly takes our capabilities to the next level, providing a unique solution that directly satisfies our customers’ requirements for three screen delivery.”

RipCode’s technology for converting live and on-demand video content to formats required for the mobile environment, complemented by RGB’s field-proven transcoding and ad insertion capabilities for TV and PCs, offers a solution that has never before been available to operators. RGB’s chassis-based VMG already delivers industry-leading MPEG-2 and MPEG-4/H.264 stream processing quality and capacity for advanced video processing functions, including transcoding, ad insertion, transrating and grooming, with exceptional scalability and reliability. With the addition of mobile video delivery capabilities to this modular chassis, network operators will have the ability to perform any-to-any live and file video transcoding, adaptive delivery with Apple Live Streaming, Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe HTTP Streaming, and seamless multi-device ad insertion – all within a single carrier-class platform. This integration of leading technologies completes a one-of-a-kind solution that simplifies network architectures, streamlines operations and minimizes costs.

“Video service providers will require a new generation of high performance, highly reliable video processing solutions to implement ‘three screen’ service in which high quality video is delivered to TVs, PCs and mobile devices on a large scale,” said Gerry Kaufhold, Principal Analyst with In-Stat, based in Scottsdale, Arizona. “Today’s announcement between RGB and RipCode demonstrates that they understand the requirements for these new solutions and that they have the necessary software and hardware components for this new generation of products.”

“Joining forces with RGB makes a lot of sense—not only does our flexible transcoding and delivery technology round out the second and third screen solution needs of RGB’s strategy, but it also strengthens RipCode’s solution scalability for many of our existing customers and opportunities,” said Brendon Mills, CEO of RipCode. “In addition to providing a very compelling solution for three screen delivery, we can also now add high-density, carrier-class transcoding, delivery, monetization and optimization into our existing solutions for web video service providers, mobile network operators and government live and on-demand applications. So this is a win-win not only for RGB and RipCode, but RipCode’s existing customers and partners as well.”

“We examined several options before concluding that integrating RipCode’s technology into our VMG would be the most effective way to complete a three screen solution that would meet the challenges faced by cable, telco and mobile operators,” said Yuval Fisher, RGB’s Chief Technology Officer. “We have built the VMG specifically to enable video service providers to seamlessly implement three screen delivery, serving as the heart of a new generation of IP-centric headends.”

In addition to tightly integrating RipCode’s technology into RGB’s product line, RipCode will continue serving its existing customers and markets with its transcoder hardware and software products. Nearly all of RipCode’s employees are being retained, including the engineering team, and will continue to operate out of RipCode’s office in Austin, Texas.
