College hoops fans can get in the game at http://www.OasysMobile.com/fighttonesRALEIGH, N.C., March 13, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Oasys Mobile, Inc.
(OTC Bulletin Board: OYSM), a leading provider of premium mobile media
content, products and services, today announced the first "Spirit Meter" to
track the top downloaded mobile phone college fight songs and logos during the
NCAA Basketball tournament from March 13 - April 3. At
http://www.OasysMobile.com/fighttones, hoops fans can see how their school
spirit stacks up against the competition measured by the ultimate
self-expression: your cell phone ringtone.
The Oasys Mobile website features over 100 "fight tones" from colleges and
universities including last year's Men's NCAA Champion University of North
Carolina Tar Heels and Women's National Champion Baylor University Lady Bears.
Fans can download fight tones from every major athletic conference from the
ACC to the WAC. The OasysMobile.com Spirit Meter will be updated in real time
throughout the Tournament to show the 16 most spirited NCAA Tournament
schools, regardless of their performance on the court.
"The North Carolina State band is going to have some serious competition
this year!" said Shandale Best, a senior at NC State. "You better believe I'll
be playing the NC State fight song at the game and every time someone calls
me, especially anyone from UNC."
Fans can buy a Tournament Time 2-Pack from the OasysMobile.com “College
Central” category for only $2.99. With the Tournament Time 2-Pack, fans will
receive a college fight tone and wallpaper, plus a free virtual locker to
store their new content (and any future purchases from OasysMobile.com). Fans
may choose two fight tones or two wallpapers instead of one of each if they
prefer. Individual content may also be purchased a la carte for $1.99 each.
“No cell phone is complete without your college fight tone; especially
during the NCAA basketball tournament,” said Gary Ban, CEO of Oasys Mobile,
Inc. and die-hard Duke Blue Devils fan. “In fact, I am hoping to hear the
first ever fight tone chant this year. As cell phones increasingly become a
form of self expression, OasysMobile.com fight tones are a great way to show
your school spirit and become part of a larger mobile community. And by the
way, I'm proud to say that Duke University is #1 on the Spirit Meter as of
today, so the other schools have some catching up to do!”
