mixipix Creates Cartoon Messaging For Mobile Phones
Thursday 3rd June. mixipix, a unique new service for mobile phones which allows users to create, download and send animated cartoons to mobile handsets, was launched in Glasgow today.
The mixipix cartoon messaging service allows users to choose from a huge range of animations – or create their own – which can then be sent to their own or someone else's mobile phone handset as a greeting. The cartoons can then be saved and used as an animated screensaver, used in a picture message (MMS) or wallpaper.
The mixipix technology automatically detects which type of mobile phone a user has and dynamically renders each animation to take advantage of the target phone's specifications. mixipix cartoon messages are created online and can be sent to any WAP-enabled colour mobile phone regardless of type. mixipix can be used over all mobile phone networks in the UK except 3.
The mixipix website offers four different categories of cartoons to choose from: Bad Boys – animations with a bit of an edge, Sugar & Spice – sweet and cute cartoons, Party Animal – for people who never stop and Planet Marvin – mixipix's very own hero. Each category offers users a choice of characters and cartoons, which can be sent as they are or edited to create something unique and individual. Users can also choose from all the mixipix characters, backgrounds and props to make their own cartoons from scratch.
mixipix cartoon messages can be used for almost any purpose, where a text message just doesn’t cut it - to invite friends for a big night out, kiss and make up, say sorry or ask somebody out. Many mobile phone handsets will let cartoon messages be saved as wallpaper or as a screensaver or even as a caller ID, so the user can see who's calling before answering. For these handsets the cartoon in the message can be saved and used for personalisation as well as being viewed on the phone.
Lesley Keen, the founder and managing director of mixipix, said, “Personalising your mobile and sending messages are two of the most popular services for mobiles right now. The mixipix cartoon messaging service gives people the chance to combine the two and send their friends and family something a little more funky and collectible than a plain text message. We also provide a simple do-it-yourself cartoon kit so that people can get creative and customise their own content. Our unique, patented technology generates all the cartoon content on the fly, including new cartoons people make themselves, to ensure each user gets the best possible results for their particular phone. By using WAP download to deliver the cartoons rather than MMS, we are aiming to make the service as widely accessible as possible.”
mixipix cartoon messages can be created and sent from the website: www.mixipix.net Messages are free to create and cost £1.50 to send, including the cost of the cartoon.
mixipix cartoon messages work across all WAP-enabled colour handsets and are available to users of all mobile phone networks except 3.
