Sona Mobile Unveils the Sona Media Platform for BlackBerry Handhelds

 

New Platform Enables 'Push' and Streaming Distribution of Multi-Media

Content to Popular Mobile Devices



    NEW YORK, May 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sona Mobile Holdings Corp.
 (OTC Bulletin Board: SNMB) announced today the launch of its Sona Media
 Platform, the first media management system to deliver true 'push media'
 and streaming content to BlackBerry(R) devices.
     This new, innovative platform will be on display at the Wireless
 Enterprise Symposium 2007, May 8 - 10, in Orlando, Florida.
     Combining the fully configurable Media Manager Server with a new
 version of the patent-pending Sona MediaPlayer(TM), this new platform
 introduces the concept of 'push media,' which distributes content to
 wireless devices invisibly and notifies users when multi-media content has
 been delivered to the device and is available for playback. This eliminates
 the need for subscribers to manually download video clips over wireless
 networks, and provides subscribers with immediate access to content such as
 breaking news or daily highlights. Content can also be streamed via the
 Sona Media Platform to the latest generation of BlackBerry devices. The
 Sona Management Server can be configured to support a variety of different
 push methods including SMS, WAP, SMTP, BES/MDS and e-mail, ensuring
 compatibility with a multitude of media systems.
     Sona's expanded Media Player for BlackBerry includes significant
 enhancements and new features, such as a "skinable" interface, configurable
 statistic logging, auto-updating, an integrated on-demand list showing
 available content and a "subscribe to push" function that allows users to
 select their subscription content within the player for automated delivery.
     "This new platform expands the framework of our fully customizable
 Media Player for BlackBerry," said Shawn Kreloff, chief executive officer
 of Sona Mobile. "The addition of push media functionality to the Sona Media
 Player for BlackBerry takes the technology beyond basic media delivery and
 playback, further enhancing the end user experience. Used in tandem with
 Sona's mWager horse race wagering platform, it allows subscribers to place
 a wager and watch the race on their mobile device or automatically receive
 breaking news and updates."
