Mobeon Brings Video Mail Users World's First Animated Mobile Buddy

Filed under category: Wireless Phones

Feeling fidgety about new cell phone technologies? Mobeon has just unveiled Fidgit, the world's first 3G video messaging interface featuring mobile buddies for cell phones. Mobile buddies are 3D animated avatars that replace the traditional operator voice by providing entertaining and personalized mailbox navigation to cellular subscribers.

Fidgit replaces traditional voice and text-based instructions, using the same 3D tools as leading Hollywood studios to create fun, lifelike characters. Fidgit has a fully interactive, quirky personality, which changes throughout the day. This offers an entertaining and unique service to take a user through their messages. He introduces the menus in the mailbox, talks the user through the options for each message, and also responds to callers who want to leave a message.

Research by Mobeon has proved that avatars would attract (you'll never guess) ---- the valuable youth market!. They even think it will get the kids to swap operators. I think they are probably right!
