Vindigo 2.0 for J2ME Available on AT&T Wireless' mMode Service

Vindigo Service Now Available on All Major Mobile Phone and Handheld Platforms

NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 2003 - Vindigo, the leading provider of personal navigation services for wireless and mobile devices, today announces that its award-winning application, Vindigo 2.0, is available to AT&T Wireless customers with J2ME-enabled mobile phones. With the debut of its Java-enabled service, the company now supports every major wireless and mobile device platform. Vindigo 2.0 is available for a monthly subscription fee of $3.50, which appears on AT&T Wireless customers' mobile phone bill. New users can download a 10-day trial, free of charge.

Already popular among business professionals, the Yankee Group predicts sales of J2ME-enabled cell phones will increase 79 percent to 17.6 million units in the United States in 2003. Internet-ready J2ME phones are becoming increasingly attractive to mainstream consumers, largely driven by a growing number of practical J2ME-based applications.

"Wireless data services is a high-growth market in the United States, with 120 million users expected by 2006. J2ME is a dominant player in this space because it allows developers to easily deploy content-rich applications on small, mobile devices," said Linda Barrabee, senior analyst, wireless/mobile services for the Yankee Group. "Vindigo 2.0 is ideally suited to the J2ME platform because it offers a vast amount of useful information in an easy-to-use package."

AT&T Wireless mMode customers using J2ME-enabled phones can download Vindigo 2.0 wirelessly to access entertainment and local information, including restaurant reviews, museum exhibits, bars, stores, movie reviews and show times. Vindigo 2.0 also includes detailed information about services such as the location of the closest ATMs, gas stations, parking garages and police stations. The comprehensive service offers ratings and reviews from brand-name content providers, full-color maps and driving directions to any listing. With Vindigo 2.0, users instantly gain a wealth of information about where to eat, shop and play in more than 50 major U.S. markets.

"J2ME cell phones already have the power and flexibility to run information-rich applications, but until recently, 'must-have' consumer applications were a missing link. Vindigo 2.0's strong consumer appeal will help broaden the U.S. market for wireless data services, offering consumers access to compelling content on a device they already carry," said Jason Devitt, chief executive officer of Vindigo.

J2ME support enhances the breadth of Vindigo 2.0 applications, which have been available for Palm OS and PocketPC devices since 2000. Vindigo 2.0 for BREW mobile phones became available in 2002. The company continues building partnerships with major wireless services providers throughout the United States to deliver compelling content and help drive demand for application-rich wireless devices.

AT&T Wireless' mMode service gives people fast and easy access to a variety of communication, information, and entertainment services from the keypad of their wireless phone. mMode is available now in thousands of cities from coast to coast where AT&T Wireless has upgraded to its GSM/GPRS next-generation network.
