Bubble Motion Expands BubbleCLIENT™ Support to iPhone, Sony Ericsson and Motorola Devices

Integrates a 'Send a Bubble Message' Command into Additional Mobile Handheld Address Books. 

Mountain View, December 17, 2008 - Bubble Motion, the pioneer and global leader for next-generation voice messaging, today announced that it has expanded BubbleCLIENT™ support to include iPhone, Sony Ericsson, and Motorola devices.  The BubbleCLIENT™ software is a free download for end-users, and enables the ability to 'Send a Bubble message' from directly within the phone's native address book. 

BubbleCLIENT™ already supports Nokia and BlackBerry devices, and all of the supported devices are currently being rolled out with Bubble Motion's operator partners.  Support for a number of other handhelds and mobile OSes is currently in development by Bubble Motion's Client Development team.

The BubbleCLIENT™ software is designed to work with the BubbleTALK™ voice messaging system that is deployed at top-tier mobile operator partners worldwide.  BubbleTALK™ continues to work across all handhelds and networks without use of a handheld client, but the handheld client makes sending Bubble messages even faster and easier for BubbleTALK™'s heaviest users. 

"With many of our users sending hundreds and even thousands of Bubble messages per month, we're very happy to provide this added convenience to our users," said Thomas Clayton, President & CEO of Bubble Motion.  "When it comes to mobile messaging, an easy to use and simple user experience is absolutely essential for massive viral adoption."

BubbleTALK™ is a popular form of next-generation voice messaging that enables users to send short voice messages to their friends and family around the world - without calling!  BubbleTALK™ allows the sender to convey more emotion and feeling in their messaging than text-based SMS, and adds a personal touch to each message they send.  Recipients instantly receive a notification prompting them to listen, reply, forward or save the message. 

"BubbleCLIENT™ allows users to 'Bubble' faster and more easily than text SMS," said Clayton.  "Our initial results with BubbleCLIENT™ point to a dramatic increase in Bubble messaging traffic."
