Bamboo MediaCasting Adds Symbian 9 OS
Leader in Mobile Rich-Media Delivery Increases Reach of SilverStripe Solution
TEL-AVIV, Israel – December 23, 2007
Bamboo MediaCasting, the leading mobile content delivery solutions provider, today announced the extension of it's SilverStripe solution into the Symbian 9 to fully support Symbian Series 60 v3 and UIQ 3 platforms. Supported devices include the Nokia N series and E series, Sony Ericsson UIQ 3 (P990, M600, w950), and more.

Bamboo MediaCasting's SilverStripe is a white-label solution that allows carriers or service providers to provide a channel-based subscription service to their users. Users can enjoy rich audio and video content such as television programs, movie trailers, professional or user-generated video clips, music, news and other long or short digital content. Optimized for simple handset viewing, the solution leverages a unique "Push-Store-Play™" mobile technology for dynamic content delivery to mobile phones with no user intervention, delivered completely in the background.

"By adding the Symbian 9 platform to our ever-growing solution, Bamboo MediaCasting has increased its offering for carriers and service providers to include many more devices," explained Meir Fuchs, Vice President R&D of Bamboo MediaCasting, Inc. "We expect user adoption of the smaller and sleeker Symbian 9 devices to greatly exceed its predecessor."

The SilverStripe service, already deployed by a Tier-one mobile operator in Europe, utilizes existing mobile networks and facilitates economic off-peak delivery to minimize network congestion, data costs, and disruption to traditional phone usage. The service provides episodic viewing of rich media content including news, video podcasts and music for users. The channel-based subscription model allows subscribers to select the content they desire, and then enjoy the full-track media on their mobile phones without browsing or network connection. Users are notified when new material arrives and has been stored. With one click the rich-media can be played anytime, anywhere.

“Bamboo MediaCasting has reached another milestone today," stated Guy Morag, CEO of Bamboo MediaCasting, Inc. "Expanding our offering to include Symbian 9 is part of our overall plan to seamlessly bridge internet content to the mobile experience by supporting the vide variety of mobile devices in the mobile world. We will be announcing other platforms in the coming weeks to further expand the solution to our customers."
