Posted March 17, 2008

Viva Vision, the leading content provider for mobile entertainment,
today announced a partnership with Univision Móvil,
which offers the industry’s most
comprehensive Spanish-language suite of mobile offerings, including
in-show wireless integrations, mobile video, WAP portals, PSMS programs
and downloadable content catalog. Together, the companies will develop
new mobile entertainment products for consumers in the U.S.

Viva Vision has developed an entertainment slideshow application that
displays popular images from Univision’s
extensive content library to wireless handsets across the country. Viva
Vision’s proprietary platform allows
subscribers to pause, rewind, fast-forward, and save favorite images
from the slideshow. The subscriber community also controls which content
is featured by voting on its favorite images.

“Viva Vision is thrilled to be working with
Univision,” said Viva Vision President, Nick
Montes. “We look forward to developing unique
mobile entertainment solutions that feature Univision content.”

“We are continuously searching for new and
innovative ways to deliver mobile content to our growing audience. Viva
Vision’s platform has a proven track record in
mobile entertainment, and is the solution we were looking for in
delivering this content,” said Christopher
Brunner, Vice President of Mobile Content & Services, Univision Online.

Viva Vision has a suite of patented mobile entertainment products that
includes slideshow, video on demand, and live video applications. The
Univision Móvil slide-show product is
currently available on Verizon Wireless, Alltel Wireless, Metro PCS,
Claro Puerto Rico, and Centennial Puerto Rico, with new carriers to be
announced soon.
