| America's Best Mobile Pix!™ Named Among Top-10 Revenue Generating Downloadable Mobile Applications FunMobility's™ Photo-Rating and Messaging Application Ranked Along Side America's Best-Known Brands Pleasanton, CA - July 5th, 2006 - Taking its place among some of the industry's most stalwart brands, America's Best Mobile Pix™, a photo sharing and messaging application for mobile phone users developed by FunMobility™, ranked ninth among the top revenue-generating downloadable mobile applications in the first three months of 2006, according to a report issued by Telephia, the leading provider of performance measurement information for the mobile industry. The report, which measured revenues for mobile applications, excluding mobile games and mobile TV, showed that America's Best Mobile Pix! (ABMP), which is available through most major wireless carriers, was responsible for 2.6% of revenues, tied with Yahoo! Photos. "This is an affirmation of the popularity and strong growth we've been experiencing with ABMP over the past year," said Adam Lavine, FunMobility's CEO and co-founder. "ABMP's position as the only cross-carrier photo community application has made it an overwhelming favorite among cell phone users, and we anticipate the recent introduction of version 2.0, where users can create and share user profiles with users on other cell phone services, will continue to drive its popularity." First introduced in early 2005, America's Best Mobile Pix was among the first social-networking applications available on a mobile device, and is currently available through most major carriers in North America. Consumers simply take photos and submit them into various contests. Users can also include text messages with their pictures targeting other users of the service, and all messages and pictures are filtered for appropriateness prior to going live in the system. Unlike the other applications included on this list, America's Best Mobile Pix! allows cell phone users on different wireless carriers to submit and rate photos, and then message other users using their photos, making it the first cross-carrier social-networking application. Since its launch in 2005, users have generated more than 70 million interactions. About FunMobility, Inc.
