Webwag Launches Webwag Mobile 2.0, the New Version of its Mobile Widget Engine


PARIS, October 20 /PRNewswire/ --

- With Webwag Mobile 2.0, Internet and Mobile Become One

Webwag, a publisher of Internet and mobile widgets, announced
today the launch of Webwag Mobile 2.0, the new version of its mobile widget
engine, which will be commercialized in both versions directly to consumers
and as a white label.

Webwag Mobile 2.0 aims at the convergence of the Web and the
mobile Internet. It has been designed to be practical and easy to use: users
need to register only once from their mobile phone or on the Web.

The same content is then offered on both medias.

Easier, more user-friendly, more intuitive, enabling hundreds
of widgets and RSS-feeds, synchronized with Webwag's web page, Webwag Mobile
2.0 features a tutorial meant to guide the mobile Internet users in their
selection of the services they are interested in. The most relevant widgets
are then automatically added to the preselected listed interests of the user.

Two features are especially innovative and practical:

- My friends, my community: users select their nine favourite
contacts to phone them, send them a text message or a Widget, in just a few
clicks within Webwag Mobile.

- Location-based content: by selecting their city, users
receive relevant content such as weather forecasts and other local
information. Other location-based services will soon be available.

20 to 40 uses per month!

Webwag introduces its widget engine as a white label for
mobile operators, mobile phone manufacturers, content publishers, service
providers and media groups. Webwag Mobile 2.0 is the best way to reach
end-users and increase their loyalty, directly from their mobile phone, via a
simple, entertaining and flexible interface. The widget environment, the
billing and the user identification can all be customized so as to meet the
customers' demands.

Webwag is now available on hundreds of mobile Java phones, on
the Web, on the i-Phone, and shortly on Windows Mobile and BlackBerry.

"Mobile Webwag users launch our widget engine as often as 20
to 40 time a month! Nothing can stop the widget phenomenon now, as widgets
can make Internet access, mobile or not, much easier. With its new mobile
version, Webwag is overthrowing received ideas. Most users can now have
access to rich and customized mobile Internet. Widgets for the stock
exchange, route descriptions, the weather forecast or Sudoku, they all offer
an easy and fast experience and make the Webwag Mobile 2.0 a unique
application", said Florent Pitoun, Managing Director.

Webwag's widgets include:

- The major French and international medias with RSS-feeds
    - E-mail with complete display
    - Comics of the day
