WeROK adds free mobile games to mobile/web converged services application
Jun 16th
WeROK, the advertising-funded, free to download and free to use mobile/web converged services application, launched last month by ROK Entertainment Group and Wi-Fi mapping company WeFI, has added free mobile games to its roster of web-enabled mobile services.
In addition to free mobile TV streamed on demand via Wi-Fi and free email, WeROK users are now able, in what ROK believes to be a first for the mobile entertainment industry, to download a selection of high quality games to play on their mobile phone free of charge, over Wi-Fi, via the internet.
WeROK, compatible with Nokia S60 devices, is free to download at www.werok.net and is free to use. WeROK automatically scans for the Wi-Fi hotspots and logs onto the strongest free-access hotspot within range, enabling the user to utilise a variety of web-enabled services contained within the application such as free Mobile TV, free mobile email and low-cost text services.
WeROK’s suite of mobile games has been sourced from leading rich-media ad-network innerActive, providing a non-intrusive manner of in-game ad serving. The ads are retrieved via Wi-Fi and may be targeted based on player demographics, location and contextual awareness to each game.
“We have already seen a fantastic level of interest in WeROK driven, largely, by our free Mobile TV service” said Jonathan Kendrick, Chairman and CEO of rok “and we are confident the addition of free mobile games – in what we understand is a worlds first in mobile entertainment – will serve to further boost the popularity of WeROK globally”.
WeROK is connected to WeFi’s globally-mapped database of more than 24 million Wi-Fi hotspots, and locates the best free Wi-Fi connection automatically.We
Qtv launch multi-platform Internet TV Media Player
Apr 21st
Got an old Playstation 2 knocking around, feeling a little unloved since you got your XBox 360, PS3 and Wii (delete as applicable, unless you’re a real uber-geek in which case you’ll have all three)? You can give it some love – and get a new multimedia player for your PC and mobile to boot.
Qtv have just unveiled an all-in-one integrated media player that enables people to access online content and their personal music, videos and digital pictures. As well as running on the PS2, there’s versions available for over 1,100 models of mobile handset, plus Windows, Mac and Linux computers.
According to the company, you’ll be able to access YouTube, streaming video, Internet radio, music, games, shopping, and other interactive services on any of the aforementioned platforms. If that wasn’t cool enough, you’ll also have access to your personal photos, music and videos stored on your computer or NAS from any of those devices too. Oh, and it comes with parental control too, which should stop little Johnny accessing ‘that’ folder on your Windows share.
“People want everything – access to online content and their own content everywhere they are, on every device they have, using a simple solution that plays everything,” said Stacy Cook, CEO of Qtv, Inc. Mr. Cook further stated that “the Qtv media player is the one media player that puts all the pieces together so that people can have personalized entertainment anywhere.”
the Qtv media player is out later this year for $50 – which will give you all versions of the software. However, sign-up now for a 30-day free trial and you’ll only pay $29.95 when it’s released.
