Guinness World Records™ Expands Mobile Initiatives with Mobifusion Partnership
Fremont, CA, March 08, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Guinness World Records (GWR), the global authority on record-breaking achievement, and Mobifusion, a leading mobile value-added services provider and partner for media and publishing companies, today announced a partnership to develop and market mobile applications and services for key mobile markets with a variety of telecom operators around the world.
Beginning in 2009, Mobifusion and Guinness World Records began creating and delivering innovative messaging-based applications and services to top telecom Operators in Asia which are already driving substantial end-user sales and interest. Mobifusion and Guinness World Records are also releasing new applications and services for Android, BlackBerry, Java, Symbian, Windows Mobile, Palm, iDEN and other mobile handsets in a variety of markets including UK, U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and India.
“From a publisher’s standpoint, we wanted our applications to run on as many platforms and handsets as possible,” said Beatriz Fernandez, International Licensing Manager of Guinness World Records. “We made a strategic decision with scalability in mind when we selected Mobifusion to develop Guinness World Records mobile applications and services. With their advanced technologies to cater to so many platforms and thousands of handsets, Mobifusion can easily and automatically create each new product very quickly and in perfect working order for that handset.”
“Guinness World Records is a treasured source of the most surprising and interesting facts in the world,” said Chris McKenney, Chief Operating Officer of Mobifusion. “We are proud to be working with Guinness World Records to create engaging and entertaining mobile applications and services for mobile subscribers around the world.”
