Getty Images Announces JAMD Mobile Application for the Apple App Store
New Celebrity Imagery Experience for the iPhone & iPod touch
SEATTLE (Billboard Publicity Wire via Business Wire EON) July 10, 2008 --
JAMD.com, the consumer website of
Getty Images, the world’s leading creator and
distributor of visual content and digital media, announced that its new
JAMD Mobile application will be available free on the Apple App Store
today. JAMD Mobile provides a fresh new celebrity image experience. It
gives people an exciting, tangible way to carry and interact with
millions of images using Getty Images’
constantly updated collection of celebrity, fashion, news and sports.
“Whether you follow the cast of Gossip
Girl or want the latest pics of
Coldplay, JAMD Mobile encourages engagement with the images that
mean the most to you,” said Bruce Livingstone,
senior vice president, Consumer Division, Getty Images. “We’re
delighted to use the global reach of the Apple App Store to offer our
JAMD Mobile application to iPhone and iPod touch users.”
Leveraging the iPhone’s innovative Multi-Touch
user interface, JAMD Mobile replicates the personal connection that
people used to feel with their treasured collections of hand-chosen and
carefully displayed pictures or their teenage walls papered in posters
torn from the pages of magazines. JAMD Mobile satisfies the celeb
follower’s needs to keep up with the latest
news and imagery of favorite TV and film stars, bands or sports teams.
JAMD Mobile also enables users to manipulate images onscreen in a
variety of ways and email professional, high quality images to friends
around the world.
Typical entertainment sites can only offer fans a few snapshots of their
favorite celebrities, often from a movie premiere or sports event. JAMD
Mobile delivers hundreds of the best pictures from events like these,
from the world’s best photographers. Thousands
of new images are added to its collection daily, making it rich and
expansive. Fans can get a real-time celebrity photo fix while restoring
the personal connection and tactile satisfaction of picking up,
choosing, arranging and sharing something tangible with friends.
JAMD Mobile will be available for free from Apple's App Store on iPhone
and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore.
JAMD Mobile in Action
JAMD Mobile will initially offer three image feed choices as well as a
search function. Users can choose to view “Featured
News,” “Breaking
News,” or “Most
Popular” images and news items. They can also
use the search feature for particular personalities, world events or
sports passions. The results are multiple images that can be played
with, discovered and thumbed-through interactively. Users can pinch,
stretch, swipe, stack, sort, or e-mail them to friends. Future features
of JAMD Mobile will include building customized stacks, creating
favorites and more.
JAMD Mobile was created by the developers of www.JAMD.com,
Getty Images' consumer Web site. JAMD.com was designed for the many
millions of people visiting Getty Images who are interested in viewing
photos featuring their favorite personalities and news figures. JAMD.com
membership is not required in order to use JAMD Mobile, but those who do
join will get early access to new features as they are added.
