MIAMI, ISTANBUL, Feb. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MyScreen Mobile,
Inc. (MyScreen) (Pink Sheets: MYSL) (Frankfurt: WICI) partner in
Turkey Trendlink today announced they will be launching Tikla Kazan
following the successful trial with Turkcell last August. Tikla
Kazan is a first of a kind mobile advertising platform that was
trialed by Turkcell in August 2009 with tremendous success.
TrendLink and MyScreen have signed a commercial agreement that will
allow the launching of the commercial version of the Tikla Kazan
service powered by MyScreen. Trendlink has a long stellar history
in the mobile space having worked with Turkcell closely in the past
as well as other carriers in the region. It is backed and supported
by the prominent and influential families of the Kalkavans and the
Akins. TrendLink seeks to actively engage the large Turkish mobile
subscriber market that is approximately 70 mln subscribers today.
Results of the trial were very positive, with 82% of subscribers
confirming they would recommend MyScreen to a friend. Subscribers
also confirmed that 79% would prefer to see a full-screen ad at the
end of call, as opposed to receiving an SMS or MMS" Commented
Maurizio Angelone, CEO at MyScreen. "We have been working with
Trendlink since late last year following our trial with Turkcell
and have identified a "go to market strategy" that we are confident
will expand upon our original successes" continued Angelone.
"Trendlink and GFE are pleased to be among the first to help launch
the MyScreen product in what many are calling the first real year
of Mobile Advertising. While Google bought Admob for $750 mln and
Apple bought Quattro for $275mln Trendlink saw the technology in
MyScreen far superior and more importantly unique in the world. "

Member of GFE. MyScreen's technology differs from the other mobile
advertising vehicles that are currently available, as MyScreen's
ads are: - Full-screen, visually engaging graphics that convey the
advertisers' brand image - Delivered in a non-shared advertising
