Run Tones Debuts Personal Color Picture Service For AT&T Wireless

July 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Run Tones today announced the launch of RUNpics, the first complete wireless picture service in the USA, as a part of AT&T Wireless' new mMode(SM) service.

RUNpics allows subscribers to transfer their personal digital images to the screens of their handsets. Subscribers can view and save their favorite digital photos of friends, family, holidays, and more on their phones' color screens. The RUNpics Internet site located at http://www.runpics.com/att gives mMode subscribers with compatible phones the capability to upload, preview, edit, and wirelessly download their own images. Each subscriber can store unlimited personal pictures in a private RUNpics account. Subscribers can send pictures from their private accounts to their phones anytime.

"The mobile phone and digital photography have become integral parts of daily life. Many Americans carry their wireless phones and wallet-sized photo prints with them wherever they go," said J.J. Rosen, CEO of Run Tones. "Our RUNpics service lets these people access all their favorite photos and pictures right on their phones' screens. During dinner last week, I was able to show several pictures of my nine-month-old son to my friends by simply pulling my phone out of my pocket!"

"We're very pleased to add RUNpics to our broadening portfolio of mMode destinations," said Sam Hall, Vice President of mMode services at AT&T Wireless. "Thanks to innovative companies like Run Tones our customers can access compelling, new entertainment services while on-the-go, and use their phones to do much more than just make phone calls."

The RUNpics service will be initially available in the markets where AT&T Wireless has upgraded to its GSM(TM)/GPRS network. The service is available in over twenty-five cities immediately with nationwide coverage by the year end. RUNpics supports color handsets on the AT&T Wireless network including the Sony Ericsson T68i and the Ericsson T68.
