Well, I haven't really tried their applications (can't do on my handset), but they are there for free with just a simple registration that is required. (Preview above from Venturebeat)Well, curious folks might think that in registration lies a business model, coz it provided customer preference information, which could be up for grabs. But according to these folks, "We collect personal info for one reason only - to get you the GetMobio software for your mobile phone"..
GetMobio ships with 10 collections, which are sets of mash-up applications, widgets and content feeds (RSS) tailored to the person’s location and preferences. These collections range from “After Midnight” to “Outwitting the Kids” and provide access to everything from hip lounges and comedy clubs to local hospitals and ice cream shops. Mobio also works with partners such as Kaboodle and OpenTable and develops targeted applications such as Mobile Flight Times, Mobile Movie Times and Mobile Fine Dining. Mobio’s applications are designed to be used in very few clicks (usually three or less), with no or minimal data entry, and are created for the most popular and widely available mobile phones on the market, such as the Motorola RAZR.
