AskMeNow Launches Fully Automated Mobile Search Solution at CTIA

LAS VEGAS, NV–( EMWNews – April 2, 2008) – AskMeNow (OTCBB: AKMN) has announced the

launch of AskMeNow 3.0 Beta, an entirely redesigned service that gives

consumers exactly what they want on their mobile device — instant answers.

The fully-automated mobile solution will be demonstrated at AskMeNow’s

booth (#5120) at the CTIA Wireless Conference this week in Las Vegas, NV.

AskMeNow 3.0 Beta leverages AskMeNow’s leading edge natural language

processing technology, its relationships with leading content providers,

and an interface designed specifically for mobile phones, to give users the

best available mobile search experience.

The AskMeNow 3.0 Beta solution integrates seamlessly across all mobile

distribution points allowing users a variety of interface options,

including SMS, downloadable applications and the mobile web. The mobile web

component offers an intuitive and individually customizable interface

designed exclusively for mobile use.

AskMeNow 3.0 Beta users can now ask questions of Wikipedia using the

AskWiki natural language processing engine and receive an answer back

instantaneously. Also included is a brand new local search offering which

provides users free access to 411 data with the added benefit of maps,

directions, and reviews. The News & Weather section offers up to the minute

REUTERS news feeds and weather information with the ability for users to

build their own Weather Now list of saved locations. The re-designed

Finance section offers financial news and stock quotes with the ability for

users to build their own portfolio of stock quotes using Portfolio Now. The

new Comparison Shopping section allows users to quickly lookup prices and

reviews from Shopping.com wherever they are. With the new Sports section,

users can save their favorite teams to Sports Now for quick access to score

updates. In addition to these great new offerings, AskMeNow still offers

access to movie times, flight times, hotel availabilities, horoscopes,

trivia, history, definitions, and a host of fun and informative daily

content from leading brand name publishers.

“AskMeNow 3.0 is the precursor to a new paradigm of mobile information

access in which AskMeNow is poised to lead the way,” said AskMeNow CEO

Darryl Cohen. “We’ve been providing AskMeNow users with mobile answers

before our competitors even entered the space. AskMeNow 3.0 is the

beginning of a yet another new innovative product line of AskMeNow

solutions that provide unrivaled flexibility and access to information and

entertainment on the mobile phone.”
