| Roxio Launches Xingtone Ringtone Maker | ||||||
A recently published report by Consect, a leading provider of U.S. mobile market analysis, indicates that global mobile phone ringtone sales will total $4 billion in 2004. The report also reveals that in the U.S. total sales have doubled from $150 million in 2003 to more than $300 million for 2004, making the U.S. one of the fastest growing and largely untapped markets for mobile music. "Partnering with third-party developers, such as Xingtone, allows Roxio to quickly respond to high-growth market opportunities without impacting internal development efforts," said Stan Wong, General Manager of Roxio. "The timely retail release of a premier solution, such as Xingtone Ringtone Maker, not only helps Roxio satisfy a strong consumer demand, but also strengthen its relationship with retailers and increase the return it receives on its channel investment." Xingtone Ringtone Maker enables consumers to quickly convert and transfer portions of an audio file from their computer or a CD to their mobile phones using cable-free, over-the-air transmission. The desktop application offers a straight-forward workflow for quickly preparing music or audio voice recordings and is both Windows- and Mac-compatible. Xingtone Ringtone Maker supports more than 100 handsets from budget-buy to high-end devices and works with all major US carriers, including Verizon Wireless, Sprint PCS, Cingular (including AT&T Wireless), and T-Mobile. "Roxio is the ideal partner with the retail experience and relationships required to make our transition into retail fast, trouble free and effective," said Jonathan Schreiber, CEO, Xingtone. "Xingtone Ringtone Maker now has far greater visibility and reach at a time when consumer interest in ringtones is exploding." For more information: Roxio Xingtone Ringtone Maker |
