		<description>Looks like some cool content and software. Have you seen the the new Celltop software from Alltel? They have 10 widgets so far but 3rd party developers promise more soon. It&#039;s a flat 10 bucks a month price and looks easy to use. Similar to mobio but different. Check it out at http://www.mycelltop.com</description>

		<description>Scott,
Thank you for some great compliments on our solution. You&#039;re right about the accuracy of 3rd party mapping solutions but we expect this to improve over time.

And please check our site (www.getmobio.com) at the end of the month as we will be rolling out the Collections, widgets, feeds and solutions mentioned above.

Thanks once again,
Paul Cushman</description>

		<description>Nice find!  I took a look at the site, read the descriptions, watched the demos, and decided to download the Movie Times app.  I rarely download stuff onto my phone, but this looked pretty good (and the full suite looks like it&#039;ll be a keeper).

Using a Sprint/Samsung A900, the Movie Times app. is pretty straight forward, and can be customized with multiple locations, search radii, and &quot;favorite&quot; theaters, genres, and MPAA ratings (A900 tip: use the * key to enter a space).  You can get movie descriptions, theater info, &quot;click to buy&quot; tickets (although, none of the theaters in my area supports this function, apparently), click-to-call, and maps (limited mapping; no directions, just a location-dot on a small map).  More on the maps: although it&#039;s probably not Mobio&#039;s fault, sometimes the theater&#039;s map location isn&#039;t correct.  If it&#039;s a multiplex inside a shopping mall, for example, the address listed for the theater may just be something like &quot;1 Shopping Mall Road,&quot; without a city/state/zip, so when you click to see it on a map, you don&#039;t get the correct location.  Not a problem if you&#039;re in your home location (we know where our theaters are), but if you&#039;re traveling, it could be a big problem...

As for the &quot;little to no text entering,&quot; it&#039;s true: once you set up your location(s) &amp; favorites settings, everything you want is within 2 or 3 clicks; very simple navigation.

I don&#039;t know how these things work, but what I&#039;d like to see is the ability to download &amp; save selected info, to browse offline.  For example, I&#039;d log onto Mobio Movie Times, select the day &amp; profile I want to view, select &quot;download,&quot; and then I could scroll through the theaters, movies, and show times offline, saving my data minutes.  Of course, being offline gives limited functionality, but if I wanted more info, I could just log on again...  Is there a way to save these pages(?) offline?</description>
