As gas prices fall and more consumers hit the open road again, there is increasing demand for more intuitive, real-time navigation and information support to help consumers get where they're going. In response to this need, Mobile Devices announces the worldwide release of Dreevo 2, a wireless enabled navigation device, and its accompanying ecosystem.

The Dreevo 2 delivers real-time, critical driving information extending far beyond the basic directional capabilities of most GPS systems.

Today, more than 350 service providers are connected to the Dreevo ecosystem to provide consumer and professional drivers across the globe with in-vehicle, real-time access to dynamic content and services such as:

Fuel prices for nearby stations - Budget-conscious drivers will be able to find the lowest gas prices within a specified distance of their current location with up-to-the-minute pricing information.

Traffic information - Live traffic updates will help drivers get to their destination as quickly as possible.

Live, safety/speed camera notification - Drivers will receive an alert when they are approaching a camera so they know to slow down, and they can then notify other drivers of newly-added cameras in their cities with database update capabilities.

Parking spot availability - Drivers will be able to save time and gas searching for a parking spot because Dreevo 2 will show them exactly where all of the open spots are in select public lots.

Local search - People will spend less time on the phone trying to find their destination and more time paying attention to the road with the local information search capabilities of Google, the White Pages and the Yellow Pages. Available information will include addresses/directions and contact information.

Instant messaging - Chat with friends, family and other drivers safely with live chat, e-mail and SMS capabilities via Push to Talk.

These services, most of which are currently available on the European version of Dreevo 2, will be available through Mobile Devices' application store for subscription and wireless download in 2009. All services will be demonstrated live at CES 2009 at Mobile Devices' booth #4619.

More than 100,000 devices around the world utilize the Dreevo ecosystem, which Mobile Devices launched last year at CES. The ecosystem includes:

- a range of connected OEM devices;

- an open embedded platform running Linux with a complete development environment;

- a communication server that handles a real-time two-way directional link between content providers; and,

- an application store that enables any developer to offer new services.

The Dreevo ecosystem enables the quick deployment of a connected navigation solution, in both the consumer and professional markets. With an easy-to-use interface for consumers and appropriate applications such as billing for businesses, the Dreevo ecosystem fulfills all the requirements and technical challenges for all audiences.

Mobile Devices' focus on the standardization of telematics software applications and continuous validation process enabled the rapid market release of Dreevo 2. The Dreevo product family was first introduced in the U.S. at CES 2008 and Mobile Devices has since leveraged the insights and applications of more than 300 companies in its developer program to ensure that Dreevo 2 achieves the highest market ratings.

Dreevo 2 is currently available worldwide for the professional market - such as taxi companies, trucking companies and other mobile workforces - as well as to the consumer market through specialized retail and car dealers. Mobile Devices plans to complete its rollout of Dreevo 2 to the global consumer retail market, including U.S. retail chains, by the end of Q2 2009.
