Mobeon’s 3G Mobile Buddies may not be gadgets in real life but they will really look life-like on your Mobile Phone. They’d probably come up with something similar to one of those downloadable animated bikini gals on your desktop called Virtual Girls.
Mobile buddies are 3D animated avatars that replace the traditional operator voice by providing entertaining and personalised mailbox navigation to mobile subscribers. Mobile buddies work with the latest Mobeon videomail technology to produce the most sophisticated form of videomail management in the world.
“The evolution of voicemail to videomail can be compared to the transition from radio to television,” said Antony Beswick, head of corporate strategy and product marketing at Mobeon. “Like radio, the announcer for voicemail had to explain clearly each of the actions to be followed. The beauty of videomail is that users can quickly see what options are available. This allows operators to introduce a quirky, fun element to the service, offering further revenue opportunities through content and the ability to build customer loyalty.”
“With the boom in personalisation add-ons for mobile customers such as ringtones and wallpaper, it’s clear that users view their mobile as an extension to their personal style. Being able to select a personalised avatar for videomail further stamps a user’s personality onto their communication tools.” www.mobeon.com
