ELLE Magazine and NeoMedia Fuse Fashion and Mobile Technology for Shoppers

Mobot Technology Turns Readers into Online Buyers

NEW YORK and FORT MYERS, Fla. – June 26, 2006 -- ELLE Magazine and Mobot, Inc., a NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. (OLTC BB: NEOM) company, will exclusively introduce the next generation of interaction between magazine, the mobile phone and the Internet in the October, November and December 2006 issues, making shopping “to do” lists a thing of the past.

The launch of ELLE’s Wireless Wish List will give readers the chance to create their own online shopping experience taken from products advertised within the pages of ELLE.  By selecting a desired item within any ad in ELLE, a reader simply takes a photograph of the ad or texts the brand name to EWISH and instantly receives a reply inviting them to log on to their own personal Wireless Wish List at www.elle.com/ewish.

Finally, by entering their personal mobile phone number, ELLE readers who visit the site will have access to their personal Wish List featuring all the ads they have selected. Their personal Web page will give them information on where to find the nearest retailer for the items they have selected, where they can shop online as well as inside information on sales, discounts and special events.  The Wish List program gives ELLE readers an instant way to act on style and fashion decisions using the device they carry constantly—their mobile phone.

As an added incentive in the October 2006 issue of ELLE, any reader who submits an entry in to their wish list will automatically be entered in to Wireless Wish List Sweepstake with a chance to win a $2,500 gift card to purchase any or all of their wish list items.

The partnership is a category exclusive with Mobot, the leader in mobile visual search technology, and capitalizes on the massive boom in camera phone and text technology. According to a recent Cingular research survey, more than 42% of women in the U.S. in 2006 carry camera phones—more than double the number in 2005.

Kevin Wells, vice president of Mobot said, “Through this unique partnership ELLE readers will have immediate access to detailed information on their favorite products.  A partnership between Mobot and the powerhouse ELLE brand will begin to change the way that consumers and brands use magazines, the mobile phone and the internet to purchase and market luxury goods.”

Martin Copus, head of NeoMedia Mobile and chief operating officer of its parent company, saluted ELLE for “taking the lead in using Mobot’s new visual matching technology.”   He added, “ELLE and Mobot are taking print advertising to a whole new level of measurable interactivity.”

Carol Smith, ELLE senior VP/group publisher said, “The ELLE reader doesn’t make a move without her mobile phone, and she shops the pages of the magazine on the run.  With our Wireless Wish List service, mobile technology instantly assembles her fall picks wherever she is.  When she’s ready to purchase or wants to forward her list to friends and family, the where-to-buy information is already assembled.  What could be better? When the Mobot team brought this technology to us, we realized immediately that it was the perfect fit for the tech-savvy ELLE reader, and a valuable new platform for ELLE advertisers to further connect with her. 

Smith added, “While there’s a lot that we still don’t know about integrating mobile technology with magazine brands.  I know that ELLE was meant to lead the way here in the U.S.   Our international editions have been experimenting with mobile services for some time now and I’m glad that we’re finally able to jump in here at home.”

United eWay Announces Launch of Mobile Tools
Nation’s Premier Non-profit Organization to Embrace the Mobile Channel, Utilizing SMS Text Messaging for Cutting Edge Constituent Interaction

United eWay Conference, Nashville, TN, June 22, 2006 - Taking a leadership role in the move to incorporate mobile technology into the world of philanthropy, United eWay, a wholly owned subsidiary of United Way of America, announced it will launch a new suite of advanced mobile communication and fundraising products to compliment its existing technology offerings.  To power its mobile platform, United eWay has partnered with Denver based Mobile Accord, Inc., the premier provider of mobile technology to the non-profit sector.

United eWay is the first major non-profit in the United States to embrace the mobile channel by providing corporate philanthropic initiatives, its parent organization, and third party non-profit clients with innovative ways of interacting with their donors and volunteers through mobile messaging.

“With the potential to reach approximately 200 million cell phone users in the U.S., this new technology will allow the United Way and our United eWay clients to connect with constituents, acquire new donors, and dramatically extend their overall reach through this vital new channel,” said Michael Schreiber, Chief Executive Officer of United eWay.  “This aligns perfectly with our mission to bring advanced technological solutions to local United Ways, their partners and their customers.”

United eWay’s initial mobile strategy, set to launch in August 2006, will focus on volunteer management and disaster relief.  As an example, mobile users will be invited via traditional marketing and advertising efforts to opt-in to a permission-based text alert program by sending the text message “JOIN” to 864833 (UNITED).  Each participant will receive text messages about ongoing volunteer opportunities in their community or how to help in the event of a disaster.  

The second phase of United eWay’s plan is focused on mobile fundraising, representing a revolutionary development in the world of individual giving.  Cell phone users will have the chance to instantly react to fundraising appeals and confirm their donation by simply sending a text message.  The charge for the donation appears on the donor’s regular monthly cell phone bill.

“Mobile technology sets the stage for true impulse giving by removing traditional barriers such as communicating credit card information or writing a check.  Cell phone users are empowered to act anytime, anywhere at the moment an appeal has top of mind awareness,” said <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />James Eberhard, Chairman of Mobile Accord, Inc.

United eWay clients will be able to easily integrate mobile fundraising appeals into television, radio, print and other outreach efforts.  In this example, a cell phone user would be able to make a donation by sending the text message “GIVE” to 864833 (UNITED).  Depending on the campaign, donors will be afforded the opportunity to make a one-time contribution or elect to have a recurring monthly gift added to their cell phone bill.

About United eWay
United eWay is a suite of products and services built to efficiently enable community-focused impact. It’s a fully-integrated, flexible and cost effective package of products designed to meet giving and community involvement goals while maintaining the highest level of customer satisfaction and personal touch. It’s the only technology solution that combines technological expertise, community knowledge, a global presence and a commitment to mobilizing communities and improving lives.

For more information on United eWay please contact Michael Schreiber, Chief Executive Officer, United eWay at (212) 701-2600 or email to [email protected].

NeoMedia Brews Up Mobile Couponing Beer Deal for FIFA World Cup Fans

FORT MYERS, Fla., June 21, 2006 – Gavitec AG - mobile digit, a NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: NEOM) company, in cooperation with its FunkTicket AG partner, has brewed up a mobile couponing beer deal for fans attending FIFA World Cup games taking place now in Kaiserslautern, Germany.

They then receive a money-off coupon in the form of a smartcode on their mobile phone, which they take to the beer stand at the World Cup soccer stadium. The smartcode displayed on the screen of the cellphone is then scanned by Gavitec's EXIO scanner, which instantly prints a coupon which can be redeemed to save €2 (approximately $2.60) off the price of a Bitburger beer, drawn from the tap of Germany’s second biggest brewery.

NeoMedia’s Gavitec AG developed the hardware scanners to enable the innovative FIFA World Cup mobile couponing program for fans with partners including FunkTicket, Bitburger beer, handypoints.de, and Pavillion.

“This sort of innovative offer takes couponing to new levels of sophistication and immediacy” said Martin Copus, head of NeoMedia Mobile and COO of the parent company. “Gavitec’s EXIO retail scanner enables mobile couponing, ticketing and payment solutions that really move the marketing ball forward”. The mobile couponing program will continue through the end of the World Cup games in Kaiserslautern.

NeoMedia Expands Relationship with MTV

MUNICH and FORT MYERS, Fla., June 19, 2006 -- 12snap, a NeoMedia Technologies company (OTC BB: NEOM), today announced that it has further extended its relationship with MTV Networks, a collaboration which has developed and implemented a number of successful mobile marketing initiatives for the entertainment giant over the last four years.

As a pioneer and innovator in mobile game development, 12snap has created mobile phone games for prominent brands including Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, Ferrero and TV Total. Now, 12snap has developed a mobile game for MTV’s extremely popular VIVA television show “Shibuya,” and is confident that the game’s success will rival that of the mobile phone game it developed for TV Total; the high-speed “Stock Car Race” game long held the number one position at the “Vodafone live!” portal. As detailed in last month’s PC Welt magazine, nearly one in four German mobile phone users are enthusiastic about games on phones.

The Shibuya game, which will be advertised over a period of three months in various print and TV media, is based on “Shibuya,” the successful karaoke show on the VIVA music channel. In the show hosted by the VIVA presenter Gülcan, participants compete in front of a celebrity panel. The Shibuya game developed by 12snap for MTV integrates the energy, fun and musical elements of the karaoke TV show, with the goal of the game to keep the animated karaoke figure singing and dancing through energy derived from color balls falling in a “Tetris-like” manner. A continuously increasing speed of play creates a great game of skill that’s especially challenging for gaming enthusiasts.

“12snap has really become the go-to player for mobile games, evidenced by this very visible assignment,” said Martin Copus, head of NeoMedia Mobile and COO of the parent company. “12snap is delighted to continue its relationship with such an innovative client as MTV.”

“In our new game, we faithfully reproduce the stage effect of Shibuya on mobile phones,” said Ulrich Pietsch, managing director of 12snap Germany. “Shibuya is sure to play its way into the hearts of VIVA viewers.”

Christoph Urban, Head of Mobile & Business Development from MTV Networks, is similarly confident about the success of this original game concept. “12snap injects that “karaoke feeling” directly into mobile phones and will inspire new viewers to watch Shibuya. Through this Handy-Game we prolong the brand Shibuya onto the displays of our target group.”

Shibuya is the latest of more than 20 new games from 12snap, developed as part of integrated marketing campaigns for 12snap clients, including multi-player games that people can play against each other via Bluetooth. The game is available directly from MTV (in Germany, text VIVA to 41000); from the main mobile operators in Germany: T-Mobile, Vodafone, ePlus and O2 portals (holding 38.1%, 37.4%, 13.2% and 12.1% market share respectively - source: The Netsize Guide 2006); and mobile carriers’ portals in Austria at a price of EUR 4.99.

About 12snap
12snap AG, a NeoMedia Technologies company (OTC BB: NEOM), is an expert in developing and implementing innovative marketing campaigns and entertainment applications for mobile phones. Founded in 1999, 12snap utilizes the creative and technological opportunities inherent in mobile phones to create award-winning campaigns by efficiently combining its know-how in mobile applications, mobile loyalty and mobile marketing. 12snap is the only mobile marketing company in the world to be awarded Lions at the prestigious Cannes advertising festival (4 Lions in total), and in 2005 it was ranked in the Red Herring 100 most innovative technology companies in Europe.

LAS VEGAS, Nev – April 5, 2006 – AirG, the global leader in powering mobile communities and wireless social networking, today from CTIA Wireless announced the commercial release of Community Patrol, a turnkey software toolset that filters and monitors user generated content in social networking products.  Community Patrol comes bundled with every AirG community product and is now available for licensing by mobile operators, community software vendors, and online social networking companies seeking entry into the mobile space.  Community Patrol is available on a per seat software license, or as a service, giving customers the option of having AirG fully host and monitor their community as a managed solution.

Community Patrol is a content clearinghouse for user generated content in wireless social networking products that has been built to comply with international monitoring regulations, including the ACMA (Australian Communications & Media Authority) in Australia,  ICSTIS (Independent Committee for the Supervision of Standards of Telephone Information Services) in the UK, and regulations in the US and Canada.  Some of the key features and intelligent capabilities of Community Patrol include:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

·        Software that automatically filters all user generated content pre-publication, including contact details and profanity.

·        Monitoring tools that can be used by live human monitors as a secondary filter for all content (pre-publication or post-publication), including contact details, profanity, and all profile photos.

·        A programmable ban from service component that automatically bans offending users from the service and enables human monitors to impose a manual ban, on a username or handset level.

AirG is also offering mobile operators and social networking sites the opportunity to benefit from the company’s extensive community monitoring experience by providing Community Patrol as a hosted service.  In conjunction with the benefits of the Community Patrol software, hosted clients will have their site monitored by a live, 24x7 community monitoring center staffed by multilingual human monitors who undergo rigorous background and criminal record checks, and are fully trained in monitoring all messages exchanged in the community for potentially inappropriate content.

"We are committed to protecting the safety of our community users, as evidenced by the millions of dollars we have invested in our monitoring toolset and human monitoring service,” said Frederick Ghahramani, director, AirG.  “Community Patrol is now available to all members of the social networking value chain as we feel that consumer safety is of paramount importance to the viability of this industry.”

Intelligent Mobile Advertising Finds Its Place in Social Networking Communities

AirG Announces Release of Community Marketing Engine Software Solution

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – May 10, 2006 – AirG, the global leader in powering mobile communities and wireless social networking announced today the commercial availability of its Community Marketing Engine (CME).  CME is a revolutionary software solution that enables mobile operators, marketers and media companies to communicate with consumers in real-time and advertise mobile content such as ringtones, games, and downloadable music and videos in a context-sensitive manner.  With CME, mobile operators and media companies can market value added services in an intelligent and unobtrusive manner by specifically targeting users based on their interests and demographic profile.   

"Word of mouth marketing is the most valuable product pitch,” said Frederick Ghahramani, co-founder and director, AirG.  “Our CME software provides a unique storefront within mobile communities and social networking applications where content that is relevant to a specific user group can be promoted through viral marketing and referrals.”

Community marketing programs that are based on word of mouth marketing have proven extremely successful in the online world, where retailers provide a forum for users to share content and opinions and use this feedback as a valuable conduit for new commerce opportunities.  Leveraging the growing popularity of social networking on mobile phones, AirG’s CME combines community, end-user content, and commerce to enable the delivery of more direct and context-sensitive marketing and promotions. 

Added Ghahramani: “The mobile marketing possibilities that CME enables are endless.  Consider a music community where users are discussing the latest rap song and the CME will intelligently make available full track downloads, ringtones, and wallpapers of some of the top rap artists at that time, or similarly a gaming community that allows users to review mobile games on their phones and within the community third parties can target market relevant wireless games to the active customer base.”  

Mobile communities have proven to be extremely sticky and immersive applications, as is evidenced by the global success of AirG’s private label mobile community solutions, which include CoolTalk on Cingular, Hookt on Boost, and The Lounges on Sprint Nextel.  CME capitalizes on this captive end-user experience by creating a forum where users can access content and new commerce opportunities that directly match their requirements.  By using the feedback that community users have submitted through channels like user generated content forums, chat rooms and profiles, mobile carriers, marketers and media companies gain direct access to their customers and directly fulfill their needs.

CME is available for software licensing by mobile operators, media companies, and content providers seeking to build a community of users around their products and intelligently market value added services within that community.

Get Your Game On In The Game Lobby From Sprint

Gamers have gone wild for the Game Lobby from Sprint with 1.3 million members since its launch in 2004

LOS ANGELES, Calif., at E3 - May 10, 2006 - Sprint (NYSE: S), the industry leader in innovative wireless entertainment services, and AirG, the global leader in powering social networking on mobile phones, have opened the Game Lobby Lounge (GLL) as an enhancement to the Game Lobby from Sprint, which is powered by Motricity. The GLL, powered by AirG, is the world’s first social network that exclusively targets mobile gamers and provides a revolutionary new way for users to communicate in real time and share game tips and reviews.

"Since launching the Game Lobby from Sprint in March 2004, we’ve seen how gamers really enjoy interacting and sharing their opinions on games,” said Jason Ford, general manager of games and entertainment for Sprint. “We’ve enhanced the game community experience by enabling Game Lobby members to keep their same profile and enter the GLL to chat and share their thoughts in real time in a dedicated social community, right on their wireless phone.”

The GLL is an application that can be downloaded to select Sprint phones, enabling gamers to share tips, blog and review games on their wireless phones.  Customers can also stay informed of new games, products and contests from Sprint. For a limited time, Sprint VisionSM and Sprint Power VisionSM customers can download the GLL for free on their phones at Downloads / Games / What’s New.

"We’re excited to work with Sprint on this innovative new product that brings hundreds of thousands of mobile gamers together in what will surely become the world’s largest interactive mobile games community,” said Frederick Ghahramani, director, AirG. “The GLL is the perfect extension of the Sports, Latino and Friends mobile communities that AirG launched with Sprint earlier this year as part of The Lounges.”

Sprint and Motricity also announced several Game Lobby milestones:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

·        More than 1.3 million members – nearly three times as many members as last year

·        36 million game scores posted to leader boards – six times the postings since last year

·        More than 170,000 game ratings – four times the ratings since last year

·        200 games from more than 30 leading mobile game publishers

·        Tetris, one of the most popular mobile games, is now available in the Game Lobby on more than 40 Sprint phones.

“We are committed to providing our customers the richest mobile gaming experience available,” Ford said. “The Game Lobby from Sprint has become the centerpiece of our game offering, providing customers with easy-to-use functionality to share experiences and provide feedback with game ratings. These game ratings have helped raise the quality of the games offered, resulting in higher customer satisfaction and more game downloads.”

"With its strong reputation for industry-leading data services, Sprint clearly understands the value of mobile community services,” said Ryan Wuerch, chairman and CEO of Motricity. “We believe communities are vital to carriers’ mobile data offerings. Better understanding subscribers’ preferences and usage patterns provides carriers with insights to increase content quality and personalize the data experience. We will continue to provide excellence in offering robust community offerings across carriers, not only in games but also in other content offerings such as music.”

As wireless technology, consumer electronics and entertainment converge, Sprint subscribers can use their mobile phone as a source for information, communications, personalization and entertainment.  Sprint is the wireless industry’s leader in innovative gaming services, offering the best selection of games; the Game Lobby from Sprint, the first carrier-based game community; the Game Lobby Lounge powered by AirG, the first social network exclusively for mobile gamers; and a status points program.

NeoMedia Drives TaylorMade-adidas Golf

LONDON and FORT MYERS, Fla., June 13, 2006 -- Sponge Ltd., a unit of NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: NEOM), today announced a pan-European, eight-country trade promotion for TaylorMade-adidas Golf incorporating a customized mobile phone solution to drive sales by incentivizing retail sales personnel.

Sponge is a leader in developing and implementing mobile marketing applications and content delivery and has a well-earned reputation for developing new and exciting products to unlock the potential of mobile (cell phone) marketing.

“TaylorMade-adidas Golf came to us looking for a way to incentivize individuals and drive sales of their shoes across eight European countries,” explained Alex Meisl, CEO and co-founder of Sponge.  “We created a fully functioning pan-European software application especially for them, which allows a sales person in a participating region to use their cell phone to enter a prize draw each time they sell a pair of TaylorMade-adidas Golf shoes.”

“This is an extremely exciting opportunity for Sponge – to take creative mobile marketing applications into the trade promotion arena,” said Martin Copus, COO of NeoMedia and head of its mobile business unit.  “We applaud innovative companies like adidas who are able to see the many possibilities in using the cell phone medium to achieve their trade, as well as consumer, marketing objectives.”

The Sales Incentive Text-to-Win application recognizes in-store staff by their account number and name included in an inbound SMS message, and automatically submits valid entrants into the next of a number of prize draws. Using Sponge’s Draw Engine, winners are randomly selected at pre-determined weekly and monthly draw times.  Following verification, all entrants receive a text message confirming whether or not they have won, and detailing their prize – ranging from crested adidas Golf polo shirts to iPods and even to FIFA World Cup tickets!

Throughout the eight-week promotion, Sponge has also ensured that TaylorMade-adidas Golf has full access to real-time data via two tailored client interfaces. Customized reports available to all area sales managers in the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, allow them to monitor participation by their customers right down to the individual sales person. The second interface was customized for the fulfillment partner to track winners and co-ordinate prize delivery.

‘’Putting together a pan-European sales scheme for an organization such as TaylorMade-adidas Golf has always been a challenge,” said Matt Johnson, European marketing manager at TaylorMade-adidas Golf.  “By using Sponge’s mobile application, we are able to run a pan-European incentive promotion with hassle free administration, while being able to offer our customers an exciting way to reward and motivate their shop floor staff – which ultimately helps make TaylorMade-adidas Golf the sales person’s recommendation. Sponge delivered a practical and effective solution to a logistical problem; they have been professional and efficient at every step of the way and provided seamless support across our eight European territories.’’
