IceMobile’s VideoCall2TV service nominated in GSM Innovation Award

I got a note from Tim Krengel at Ice Mobile (www.icemobile.com) to say that they’ve been nominated as a finalist for the GSM Association’s Mobile Innovation Award.  Congratulations! 

I think I’ve seen their stuff working a few times plus I particularly like the concept of VideoCall2Helpdesk too.

Here’s the press release:

GSM Association Nominates IceMobile as a Finalist for Mobile Innovation Award

Amsterdam, 8 February, 2006 – IceMobile, the mobile media company for broadband mobile networks, today announced that the GSM Association has selected its VideoCall2TV technology and format as a finalist for the prestigious 2006 GSM Association Awards in the category of Best Mobile Innovation. The GSM Association Awards is the leading international awards program honouring excellence throughout the global GSM industry.

The VideoCall2TV technology and format enables viewers to express themselves instantly by making a video call from their 3G mobile phones to a TV program and participate in the show with live video images. The product line, including VideoCall2Helpdesk, can furthermore be used for a wide variety of purposes well beyond mobile entertainment, such as direct video contact with a helpdesk for video assistance.

"We are honoured to receive this nomination from the GSM Association, as these awards represent to the mobile industry what the Oscars represent to the movie industry" said IceMobile’s CEO, Ralph Cohen. "VideoCall2TV will dramatically change the way people use their mobile phone, not only for entertainment purposes such as Participation-TV, but on a much broader social level."

Established in 1995, the GSM Association Awards are presented by the GSM Association (GSMA), the global trade organization for more than 670 mobile operators and leading manufacturers and suppliers that serve more than 1.5 billion users, across more than 200 countries of the world. The GSM Association Awards reception will be held on Tuesday, February 14, 2006 during the 3GSM World Congress gala dinner at Barcelona’s National Palace, where the awards recipients will be named.

IceMobile will be showcasing its VideoCall product line during the 3GSM World Congress, February. 13-16 in Barcelona. If you are interested in receiving a demonstration from IceMobile, please contact us: tim@icemobile.com .
