Zodiac Interactive Announces Zodigo

Mobile Content Search and Discovery Engine for TVs and Browsers


Zodigo Debuts at the Famous DEMO 08 Conference for Emerging Technology,
January 28-30 in Palm Springs, CA

Palm Springs, CA – January 28, 2008 – Zodiac Interactive, a multiple Emmy-nominated and Emmy award-winning developer of software for interactive television, today launched a new mobile content search engine, Zodigo. Much like a Movies-On-Demand service from cable operators, Zodigo is navigated with a remote control or keyboard and mouse and includes revolutionary features that make it easy for even inexperienced mobile consumers to discover and download mobile content. Zodigo is the first and only software platform built for release on digital TV systems (cable, satellite, & telco), Blu-ray & HD-DVD players, all next-gen gaming consoles (Wii?, Xbox 360?, and the Playstation® 3), as well as at Zodigo.com and many other web distribution partners. Perhaps most importantly, Zodigo is an intelligent system that quickly and automatically learns about users’ preferences as well as their exact mobile phone type and recommends only content that works for that phone.

Matt Johnston, Zodiac’s SVP of Strategy and the CEO of the new Zodigo operating company, comments, “Consumers are beginning to experience an explosion in the breadth and diversity of content and applications available for the mobile phone, and, until today, have not had an adequate content discovery solution. Part of the problem is that content directories, for the most part, have only been available either on the mobile phone through existing mobile operators, through cluttered teen-targeted websites, or directly from individual, fragmented content publishers. Zodigo was developed with a better shopping experience in mind and the result is an easy-to-use search experience that creates a truly long-tail of mobile content discovery.”

Zodigo allows consumers to channel surf and discover great content for their mobile phone. Whether it’s games, applications, ringtones, movies, podcasts, coupons, mobile manga, tickets, alerts, or full songs, Zodigo helps consumers easily find and download interesting stuff recommended by like-minded people.

Johnston continued, “To be selected by Ms. Shipley and the DEMO 08 Conference team is a wonderful validation of our team’s vision and hard work. The DEMO Conference for Emerging Technology remains the industry’s preeminent launch pad and we couldn’t be more pleased with the opportunity to showcase Zodigo.”
