Naviblog featured in key Frost & Sullivan report

Frost & Sullivan, the well-known market research firm, has featured Naviblog in its latest report on the LBS market. Released two weeks ago, the report entitled "Asia Pacific Location-based Services Markets" focuses on the tremendous growth seen by the LBS market, first in the advanced LBS markets of Japan and South Korea, but also in other up-and-coming LBS markets such as China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and India among others.

According to the report, Japan and South Korea have seen a CAGR of 15 and 25% during 2006 alone, but are lagging behind smaller but more high-growth markets such as Hong Kong and Singapore which saw a staggering CAGR of nearly 30% over the same period. This confirms our belief that the potential for branded LBS services is about to break within Asia-Pacific markets and beyond to Europe and the US. For more details, and a breakdown of the report, see here.

About Frost & Sullivan
Frost & Sullivan, founded in 1961, has 26 global offices with more than 1500 industry consultants, market research analysts, technology analysts and economists.

Wireless Watch, Research & Markets feature Naviblog services

Wireless Watch Japan, a leading provider of wireless news in Japan and organizer of the popular Mobile Monday Tokyo conferences, has featured the release of Naviblog's Guinness Navi in its recent "New Tech & Services" section. Although the Guinness mobile search service is currently restricted to Irish pubs within Tokyo, there are plans to increase the scope of the service in the near future.

See more here.



In other developments, Dublin-based Research and Markets have released a Market Research report, entitled "Mobile Advertising: Opportunities and Illusions", where they look at the opportunities in mobile advertising and mobile marketing. Naviblog was among the companies referenced for the study, alongside industry heavyweights MediaFLO, T-Mobile, Vindigo, eBay and others.

See here for the press release on Yahoo! Finance.

NaviblogX and Guinness Navi featured on CNET Asia

One of the leading tech news sites for the Asia-Pacific region, CNET Asia, has featured Naviblog's latest services on the pages of its "CNET Asia Blogs" section. The article notes the launch of the Guinness Navi service in Japan, an easy-to-use one-click mobile search, focused on Irish pubs in Tokyo. This service is powered by Naviblog technology.

It also mentions the developer release of Naviblog X, Naviblog's flagship mobile maps-and-blogs tool, that allows non-technical users to create a mobile website in 60 seconds complete with maps and blogs. In the author's words:

If I'm riding on a train in Japan and I'm heading to a tourist destination, I point my camera-phone at a barcode inside a travel brochure or location in some literature on the train. That barcode takes my Internet mobile to a branded blogging space. There, I can search for things I deem important on my holiday and I am instantly given feedback from users who have traveled the same way and experienced specific locations.
