Ki-Bi is a unique solution for physical distribution and marketing of mobile phone content and applications. The Ki-Bi card is an attractive, eye-catching marketing tool, with buttons on it corresponding to different mobile content. The card is versatile and transmits mobile content instantly to a mobile phone transmitting acoustic signatures. Using a mobile phone, consumers in possession of a card dial a number printed on the front of the card, follow the voice message, and then select the content they want by pressing a button on the card. The acoustic signals transmitted by the card transfer content immediately to the handset. Spin3 will make the product available to all existing and new customers, who can use Ki-Bi cards to distribute mobile casino games, as well as ringtones, video, wallpaper, games and music.
