MSPOT INTRODUCES NEXT-GENERATION MOBILE ENTERTAINMENT PLATFORM

mSpot Mobile Entertainment Maximizes "Connectivity" of Mobile Phones to Fuse Entertainment with Interactivity, e-Commerce, and Community

PALO ALTO, Calif., November 20, 2006 -- mSpot, a pioneer in multimedia mobile entertainment, today unveiled its next-generation mobile entertainment platform, taking mobile music and video to the next level with an enhanced multimedia client, advancements that maximize the entertainment experience across networks and devices, and a rapidly expanding line up of music and video programming from global media brands. mSpot's platform delivers streaming music, movies, television, music videos, podcasts, concerts and a range of other premium entertainment services to mobile phones, combining traditional entertainment with live information, user-generated content and usage personalization to offer the most advanced mobile entertainment experience available today.

"White labeled" and mSpot branded services developed on top of the mSpot platform are already available across multiple carriers with the advantages of being "always connected" with no docking or synching. mSpot's multimedia platform lets consumers discover, play and interact with music, movies, videos and other multimedia content directly from a mobile phone. mSpot's platform delivers mobile entertainment over the airwaves to data-capable phones -- rather than a dedicated, "unconnected" device -- so the user experience is greatly enhanced through interactivity, personalization and social functionality.

"The latest version of our platform will keep mSpot at the forefront of the mobile entertainment wave, as we believe that mobile phones will be the default personal entertainment devices of the future," said Daren Tsui, CEO and co-founder of mSpot. "If you take the interactive, 'always connected' nature of the phone and then add exciting, well-developed content, you have something truly compelling. Over the past 18 months, our theory has been proven again and again as each of our entertainment services -- mSpot Radio, mSpot Sports and mSpot Movies -- have debuted and quickly attracted broad subscriber bases."
