Gemini Mobile Technologies today announced a new software platform to power mobile communities. The Gemini platform, called eXplo, is the foundation of a new 3D interface from SoftBank Mobile Corporation in Japan, named S! TOWN.

S! TOWN gives users their first experience with a rich graphical community to chat, communicate and shop across their wireless devices. SoftBank Mobile's new S! Town-enabled phones are available today throughout Japan on their Sharp and Toshiba phone models.

Gemini also announced that its industry-leading multimedia messaging software, the HyperScale Messaging Center, and its HyperScale core technology are the engines behind an additional new SoftBank Mobile service, Arrange Mail. Arrange Mail, powered by Gemini's software, takes messaging to the next level by enabling consumers to compose, send and receive rich text and graphical messages on their existing SoftBank Mobile handsets.

"We are pleased to launch S! TOWN, the 3D community platform for wireless devices," said Ted Matsumoto, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer of SoftBank Mobile. "S! TOWN and Arrange Mail are revolutionary services that will give our customers a new way of interacting and communicating in their daily lives. We expect these services to be a forerunner in the marketplace by changing the way wireless users interact with one another and their devices."

"We are pleased to have the opportunity to help SoftBank Mobile deploy next-generation mobile communications services," said Scott Driggers, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Gemini Mobile Technologies. "As more people worldwide rely on the wireless phone as their main communication medium, they demand richer and more intuitive ways to interact with their devices. Our eXplo platform is a bold new way of giving users the ability to explore and discover new content and communities via their phones.
