TV Genius Launches Mobile Suite

Wednesday, January 18, 2006, posted by Tom Weiss
TV Genius (http://www.tvgenius.co.uk), the intelligent search engine for UK television, is now available for mobile phones. The company has launched its Mobile Suite, making the service available through most current mobile handsets.

All UK channels can be searched or viewed in listings form, and users can order SMS reminders for their favourite shows. At the same time, TV Genius has upgraded its celebrity SMS services to provide gossip and previews for popular TV shows and soaps.

Tom Weiss, CEO of TV Genius, comments: ?There have been big improvements in the speed and quality of content delivery to mobile phones and this kind of service is now thoroughly attractive to users. Our own web users told us they also wanted to get the information on their mobiles ? and we always respond to such powerful feedback.?

?So now users can check what?s on while they're on the tube or the bus, or sitting in the pub. And, of course, TV Genius will make sure users never miss their favourite shows again.?

The TV Genius Mobile Suite is available for licensing and the company is in advanced contract discussions with a number of prominent publishers to launch a white labelled service. The Mobile Suite is already powering ITV?s mobile listings.

The basic TV Genius mobile service can be seen by typing http://www.tvgenius.co.uk/hxtml into a mobile phone browser.

To use TV Genius without having a phone connected to the internet, users should download the Mobizine version, powered by Refresh mobile, by texting MOBI TVGENIUS to 63333. See http://www.mobizines.com for full information on compatible handsets.
