Product Description
Zodigo equals mobile content search for TV. Unlike Google or other traditional search tools, Zodigo discovers who you are and how you use your mobile phone. Zodigo enables a high-definition, adaptive, multi-modal interface available not just from web browsers, but also next-gen game consoles, high-definition disc players, as well as cable, satellite, and telco TV. Whether it’s games, ringtones, manga, or podcasts, Zodigo helps you easily find and download interesting mobile stuff recommended by like-minded people.
Market Opportunity
Mobile content and application options continue to explode. In the U.S., download purchases paid for at off-phone storefronts totaled nearly $215 million in the first quarter of 2007, according to Telephia/Nielsen. Hitwise forecasts that revenues from digital content for mobile phones will reach $15.1 billion worldwide in 2008.
DEMO Says
The set-top box is a product still very much in flux. Its promised capability has yet to materialize, partially because of the fact that consumers are expected to purchase every new piece of hardware that comes along. Zodiac wants to change this with Zodigo, a product that allows users to order mobile content over existing cable set-top boxes and networks. Zodigo is pretty nifty in itself but we especially like Zodiac’s potential to shake up the interactive television sector by making its content platform and carrier-agnostic.
