Increased Availability of GPS on Mobile Phones Drives Consumption of Navigation and Other Location-Based Services, Telephia Says
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--( ) - With GPS available on more new mobile devices, consumer demand for location-based services (LBS) such as navigation is growing, according to Telephia, a service of The Nielsen Company, and the world's largest provider of syndicated consumer research to the telecom and mobile media markets.
In its second quarter report on mobile applications, Telephia also reported that:
-- Approximately 13 million mobile consumers downloaded a mobile
application on their phone.
-- Of the $118 million in revenue that downloadable mobile applications
such as LBS, weather applications, chat/community, and personal
organization tools generated during Q2 2007, LBS represented 51
percent.
-- Networks In Motion (NIM) -- an LBS navigation publisher for products
including Verizon Wireless' VZ Navigator -- secured a 27 percent share
of carrier revenue from mobile applications and leads all mobile
application publishers. Telenav Mobile followed with a 15 percent share
of carrier revenue and is another LBS navigation publisher.
While location-based services deliver highly personalized offerings such as friend-finding and other location-aware features, navigation represents the lion's share of revenue. Moreover, favorable carrier deck placement for LBS applications and the bundling of navigation services with data packages have contributed to record high downloads.
"With consumer awareness increasing, there is enormous potential for even greater LBS growth, especially since Telephia research indicates that there are approximately 130 million GPS-capable handsets in the U.S. alone, and growing," said Doug Antone, president and CEO of Networks In Motion. "Networks In Motion is committed to remaining an LBS leader by continuing to create compelling mobile phone applications that consumers can benefit from on a daily basis."
LBS applications command a healthy price premium compared to other downloadable mobile applications. The average price per month for an LBS application is $9.23, as compared to a range of $3.82-$5.41 for weather applications, sports, wallpapers/pictures, etc. (see Table 1). The selling price for LBS applications is roughly 180 percent of industry average. However, overall consumer penetration for mobile applications hovers around five percent, as compared to penetration rates of 7-13 percent for other downloadable content like games, ringtones and premium SMS.
"There are hurdles that LBS publishers face, most notably the relatively low incidence of application downloads when compared to other mobile data activity. Many consumers may not realize the utility of a navigation application on their mobile phone until they use it," said David Gill, Director of Mobile Media, Telephia.

Diamond I Brings GS3 to Market
LAS VEGAS, NV--( ) - Diamond I, Inc. (OTCBB: DMOI) today unveiled the GS3™, its third generation wireless handheld gaming unit. The GS3 is the handheld component of DMOI's WifiCasino gaming system.
The GS3 model introduced today (http://www.wificasino.net/gsiii.htm) is a completed model that awaits a client-casino's custom design case and features a 4.2-inch screen. The design of the GS3 includes a portion of DMOI's patent-pending biometric security technology, specifically its fingerprint security technology.
"We went to great lengths in the redesign of our original gaming unit to meet the parameters set by our marketing partner, Houston-based Quest Entertainment," said DMOI's CEO David Loflin. "It is our belief that the GS3, with its improved graphics and ergonomic design, will be a sure hit. We are confident that our client-casinos will enjoy great flexibility in what they are able to offer their customers."
The company will update further developments in the coming weeks.

Voiceprint and Fingerprint Technologies. DMOI owns the rights to patent-pending voice-recognition and fingerprint biometric security technologies. These security technologies will be incorporated into DMOI's WifiCasino GS wireless, handheld gaming system.
DMOI is a development-stage company that develops wireless gaming products, including a handheld Wi-Fi-based gaming system for on-premises use by casinos/resorts, known as WifiCasino™, which includes the GS2™, the user-friendly wireless handheld unit. The term Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) refers to an industry standard for wireless equipment that meets published 802.11(x) standards.

With the passage of Nevada Law AB471, which authorizes the use of mobile communication devices for gaming in public areas in Nevada casinos, DMOI seeks to secure a Las Vegas hotel/casino to serve as the demonstration site for its WifiCasino, in conjunction with its application for a gaming license in Nevada. DMOI continues to seek venues in which to establish its WifiCasino system, including other U.S. casinos and horse and dog racing facilities. DMOI has had preliminary discussions with certain owners of cruise ships, certain owners of horse racing facilities in the United States and dog and horse racing facilities outside the United States.
