GetMobio is launching a mobile widget service in public beta with over 50 applications available for use.
GetMobio has created several widget packages for cell phones that include local information regarding the type of information you need. Mobio calls these lifestyle portals, and come in a variety, from "Pamper Me" for local spas, to "Panic Kit" which will connect you with the nearest hospital or pharmacy. These portals feature a Click-to-Call feature that lets you easily find the information you need and let Mobio dial for you. You can create your own customized portal package as well.
With $9M from investors, including InterWest Partners and Storm Ventures, Mobio had developed a useful mobile widget application that spans a broad audience and works on a variety of phones. A service like this can easily grow and be leveraged as a search platform for consumers as well as a marketing launch pad for local businesses. Other activities can be incorporated into this service as well. Companies will find that services such as GetMobio and Mobease can provide easy access to mobile communities.
