Exent’s vision of enabling anytime, anywhere game play took another step forward today as the company unveiled the first and only all–you-can-play subscription service for tablets offering unlimited game play of dozens of the hottest games on Android, including Fruit Ninja, Baseball Superstars, and T-Racer HD.

With this launch, Exent’s GameTanium service will now extend across all of the leading consumer electronics platforms – PCs, smartphones, TVs and tablets.

Coming off a 2011 holiday season that witnessed consumers purchasing tablets at a torrid pace, the recent exponential growth in sales promises to spur the consumption of games, which numerous studies indicate are the number one activity on tablet devices.  GameTanium Mobile capitalizes on this new demand by providing consumers an easy one-stop shop for filling up their tablets with only the latest and best graphically rich games available on the market.

With mobile game play continuing its dramatic growth curve, GameTanium now offers operators the ability to leverage Exent’s world leading Games on Demand service on the two mobile platforms their consumers want most.

Exent powers the Games on Demand offerings for the world’s leading service providers. With its suite of platform enablement options – from PC to TV to smartphone to tablets – Exent’s Built with GameTanium services give operators an incredibly “sticky” value-added service that increases average revenue per user (ARPU), strengthens brand loyalty and retention and can be merchandised in virtually limitless ways.

Combining GameTanium’s content and programming expertise with customizable elements ranging from a brandable UI to pricing and packaging, the service provides carriers with the industry’s most turnkey Games on Demand solution on the market.

For game publishers, GameTanium offers a rich channel for delivering their games across multiple platforms, increasing the life of games and royalties that games earn.  GameTanium’s exclusive catalog and merchandising expertise also enables premium pricing by elevating superior games above the overwhelming population of game demos, spam, broken apps and just plain boring games offered in the Android Market.

“The GameTanium tablet offering is yet another step in our anytime, anywhere game play vision,” says Zvi Levgoren, CEO at Exent. ”We now offer our world-leading Games on Demand service across all of the platforms necessary to enable games to be played wherever, whenever and however consumers want to play them.

As a result, the service represents a great opportunity for carriers to engage their customers on a more meaningful and ultimately, more profitable level and for game publishers to drive their games more deeply into players’ lives.” The GameTanium tablet service is available for Android tablets for a low monthly fee.  Users can start their free three-day trial of the service by visiting http://m.gametanium.com/tablet.html from their Android device.

Operators and OEM’s can try the new GameTanium tablet along with mobile and TV services by visiting Exent at the Israel Mobile & Communications Association Pavilion (Hall 6 C50) at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, February 27 through March 1. Android publishers and developers can also learn more about adding their apps to the service by visiting Exent at the show or by visiting http://exent.com/market-solutions/opportunity-for-publishers.html.

By 2016, nearly four-fifths of 640 million mobile VoIP users will be making calls through apps downloaded on their smartphones, according to a recent report released by Juniper Research. While the mobile market has thus far been largely dominated by Apple iOS devices, Info Tech’s latest Android Market traffic numbers indicate its growth is four times faster than that of the Apple App store, making Android users an even more important target market for app developers.

Due to this overwhelming customer demand, CounterPath Corporation has announced it will be releasing its Bria Android Edition with video for smartphones and Bria Android Tablet Edition with voice, earlier than previously scheduled, and will be offering an advance preview of the softphone applications to attendees of Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain next week.

These standards-based, service agnostic softphones provide an intuitive user interface for making and receiving VoIP calls on Android smartphones and tablets, and in the case of smartphones, also video calls, sending messages and managing presence all over a Wi-Fi or a 3G/4G wireless connection. The applications will become commercially available mid-March.

The Bria Android and Android Tablet Editions are SIP-based softphone applications specifically designed for the Android OS. The Bria app provides Android smartphone and tablet users with a feature-rich application no matter where they go while still benefiting from the multiple advantages of smartphone and tablet devices, creating a truly mobile enterprise communications experience.

Bria Android Edition (for smartphones) and Bria Android Tablet Edition features allow users to:

• Talk and send messages from your mobile softphone, turning your smartphone or tablet into your primary communications device. With the Bria softphone application, you can take advantage of lower calling rates offered by mobile VoIP service providers and benefit from the extended productivity features of a mobile device.
• Use your Android device anywhere and anytime to connect with your colleagues, prospects, friends or family. Your native address book is automatically integrated into the Bria softphone on your Android smartphone or tablet, making it easy to connect to your contacts. With Bria Android Edition for smartphones, also easily integrate your Gmail, Facebook or other contacts and chat with them all within Bria, eliminating the need to jump back and forth among multiple applications.

Bria Android Edition (for smartphones) also allows users to:

• Make video calls and collaborate more easily and effectively from any location. Picture-in-picture view lets you see not only the person you’re calling but also how you appear. Participating in a video call takes communication to a whole new level: you’ll never have to miss another whiteboard diagram again. (Video calling coming soon to Bria Android Tablet Edition.)

“The explosion of smartphones and tablets in the marketplace is driving significant demand for our applications,” said Todd Carothers, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Products, CounterPath. “We are experiencing a shift in user behavior that requires a similar user experience across disparate devices that enables spontaneous voice, video and messaging conversations.

We call this device shifting. Adding video calling to Android smartphones and extending support for Android tablets is an important part of our strategy.” CounterPath will demonstrate the Bria Android Tablet Edition as well as the new video calling feature on Bria Android Edition for smartphones at Mobile World Congress, the mobile industry’s largest exhibition event held annually in Barcelona.

The company will also showcase other solutions based on its desktop, mobile and tablet applications that enable RCS-e and over-the-top deployments. To see the demos and learn more, visit the CounterPath Meeting Room at MWC in Hall 4, Level 6, Room 4.6HS21.
