Fonpods was one of eight winners, selected from more than 60
demonstrators at DEMOfall, for the enviable DEMOgod award. The DEMOgods are
selected "for their ability to clearly articulate the jaw-dropping
significance of their debuting technologies despite the pressures of a
jaded audience, a make-or-break level of expectation, and a glowing red
six-minute count down clock," according to the show's producers. To view

Fonpods founder, Ted Heieck, accepted the accolade for the company's
U.S. debut of its proprietary platform designed to provide convenient,
cost-free mobile access to digital audio content. Fonpods enables consumers
a new and innovative way to use their mobile phones to access digital audio
content.
"We are thrilled to have such a wonderful response to Fonpods," said
Heieck. "DEMO is a fantastic venue to meet potential partners, and the show
was a huge success for us. We met key players from all market segments who
reinforced that we bring critical value to both consumers and network
providers."
At DEMOfall, Fonpods unveiled the capabilities of its podcast by phone
service. Fonpods expands the usability of the mobile platform by focusing
on a simple, convenient user experience that can be enjoyed by a wide
variety of consumers. The Fonpods platform was created to allow consumers
to access digital content such as podcasts -- by phone. The service
provides users with PC and Internet content optimized for an on-the-go
mobile experience -- creating a fusion of interactive content and portable
media -- and allowing users to access their audio content from a landline,
mobile or VoIP phone.
This experience is supported by Fonpods' back-end services featuring a
rapidly growing and searchable catalog of publicly available podcasts. A
Web-based interface allows users to customize and create their own
listening "channels," as well as produce their own content, share content,
or collaborate with friends and colleagues. Additional functionality allows
users to organize, tag, or rate podcasts -- from any web-access device --
with all major browsers being supported.
