Mobio Networks today announced the launch of GetMobio, a free, downloadable service that enables consumers to find nightclubs, make restaurant reservations or find alternative flights via cell phone.
GetMobio offers 10 different mobile content packages including "After Midnight," listing places to go after midnight; "Urban Trekker," providing destinations for singles such as museums; and "Panic
Kit," with information sources in case of an emergency. Companies partnering with Mobio in the initiative include Open Table and Kaboodle. Mobio was founded in 2005, and has raised $9 million in
venture capital from investors including InterWest Partners and Storm Ventures. Its focus is on creating mobile lifestyle applications for 18- to-34-year-olds.
