Moves into Email Services

Adamind Ltd 19 July 2005 Adamind Moves into Email Services with Critical Path Alliance July 19, 2005 - Adamind (LSE: ADA), a leading global supplier of media adaptation software in the mobile messaging, content and convergence services markets, announces the integration of Adamind MediaSpire(TM) with Critical Path's Memova(TM) Mobile consumer mobile email solution, enabling the seamless exchange of multimedia email messages between mobile phones and PCs. The alliance with Critical Path, Inc. (Nasdaq: CPTH), a leading provider of messaging software and services, marks the first significant step by Adamind to address the market for email traffic as internet and telephony domains converge. By embedding Adamind MediaSpire(TM), Critical Path's Memova Mobile bridges the gap between Internet email and MMS, enabling consumers to exchange multimedia- rich email messages and providing operators with a new way to drive MMS usage. This means every user with an MMS-enabled device can send and receive email with picture, audio and video attachments. As mobile operators look for ways to increase revenue and drive more usage of MMS (Multimedia Messaging Services), consumers are demanding an easier way to send and receive email messages from their mobile phones - including emails with picture, audio and video attachments. Adamind's real-time media content adaptation technology seamlessly transcodes AMR and 3GPP file formats generated by a mobile handset to PC-friendly WAV, MP3 and AVI files, enabling Memova Mobile users to easily send and receive multimedia emails using standard mobile phones. "Consumers are demanding a rich multimedia experience, and operators are looking for ways to increase MMS usage and revenues," said Mike Serbinis, CTO, Critical Path. "By integrating Adamind's MediaSpire with Memova Mobile, we gain superior video and audio transcoding capabilities. This is a critical component in Memova Mobile - our mass-market solution that enables operators to drive MMS traffic with multimedia-rich mobile email services." Unlike enterprise-focused wireless email solutions designed for smartphones, Memova Mobile works with MMS-enabled mobile phones many consumers are already using, requiring no additional software or hardware upgrades. With Memova Mobile, email messages sent to email services, such as Hotmail, Yahoo! or Gmail, are pushed to the user's mobile phone. As a result of integrating Adamind technology, users are able to receive and view multimedia content and respond by voice to emails received on the phone. Voice responses are recorded as AMR files and sent as WAV file email messages, eliminating the need to type responses on phone keypads. Critical Path's Memova Mobile solution provides consumers with a rich mobile email experience and helps operators to grow data revenues by leveraging consumer desires to share multimedia content via email. "Staying connected and sharing multimedia content with proper email access is a key application for mobile operators looking to reduce churn and increase network traffic," said Yossi Hermush, VP Product Marketing, Adamind. "By integrating Adamind MediaSpire into the Memova Mobile solution, Critical Path is adding powerful transcoding capabilities. As such, we believe Memova Mobile gives operators a powerful way to drive MMS traffic and provide consumers with a feasible way to create and share multimedia emails across PCs and mobile phones."
