Announce Mobile Teams Up with NeoMedia® to Enable Sophisticated 'Hip2D' Mobile Content Platform


LAKELAND, Fla. and FT. MYERS, Fla., April 24-- Announce Mobile, a full-service provider of smart, next-generation mobile marketing solutions, today announced it is leveraging the qode® 2D barcoding solution from NeoMedia® Technologies, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: NEOM) , a global leader in mobile enterprise and marketing technology, for the creation of its Hip2D mobile content solution. By combining qode with Announce Mobile's customizable, full-featured WAP portal and m-commerce offerings, Hip2D enables a new level of interaction between business and consumers through the use of ordinary camera phones.

The qode® reader application integrates with a user's mobile device camera, allowing them to take a picture of a unique 2D barcode or typing in a standard UPC symbol on any item. Businesses configure the code or symbol to respond to the application, delivering mobile content immediately to the user's device. With Hip2D, companies can create mobile coupons, interactive products such as movie trailers or music samples to a DVD or CD, scavenger hunts or other detailed product information. The Hip2D platform combines the 2D code with a custom WAP portal or mobile storefront, providing businesses with the ability to deliver interactive content. "Hip2D is making interactive mobile content a true reality and we are thrilled to leverage the industry- proven 2D qode application from NeoMedia® Technologies," said Jeff Mould, President of Announce Mobile. "We anticipate tremendous success as businesses and consumers quickly realize the benefits of Hip2D."

"Hip2D brings a full solution to the mobile market," said Chas Fritz, CEO of NeoMedia®. "We are confident users will be quite pleased with the role qode will play in the application."
