[MXP] Make your mobile merry with mixibodz
Glasgow, UK, December 5th, 2007. This Christmas give your friends and family something more exciting than a flimsy piece of cardboard, help save trees and look fabulous - all at the same time - by creating, dressing and sending your loved ones a mobile phone Christmas card from mixibodz.
mixibodz are the latest must-have accessory for the online and mobile generation. Create your very own digital identity. Design, dress and animate your own avatar. Pick from a huge range of clothes and accessories, then pose and animate your Bod, to do anything from blowing a kiss to dancing or even standing on its head.
Once you've created your Bod, you can add a personal message and send it straight to someone's mobile phone – where they can save it as wallpaper, caller ID or a screensaver.
mixibodz cards can be sent to ANY colour mobile phone in the UK, for only 25p. That's cheaper than a first class stamp AND your friends can save it and look fondly at it on their mobile – forever and ever.
You can also use your Bod on your favourite social networking sites including MySpace and Facebook – or put it in your own blog.
You and your outfit, your pose and your animation will all move – seamlessly – from the web, to your blog and onto mobile phones.
mixibodz is updated regularly to ensure it offers the latest fashions and the hottest accessories, to keep your Bod on the cutting edge of cool. The mixibodz is now live and online at www.mixibodz.com, including a range of classic Christmas sweaters, reindeer antlers, Santa hats and more cosy clothing than you could shake a candy cane at.
“mixibodz is all about letting people personalise their digital identity,” says Lesley Keen, the CEO of mixipix. “The great new thing about the bodz is the way you can express your attitude – not just by creating a fashion statement but by applying poses and animated gestures. This is the ultimate user-generated content application which is designed to join up the user’s online community and mobile lives.”

About mixipix
mixipix was founded in 2002 by Lesley Keen, a veteran of the new media, animation and interactive industries.
The company has created a unique technology system which allows animated cartoons to be created and sent to any colour, wap-enabled mobile phone on networks around the world. mixipix's technology renders each message individually, to ensure it is tailor-made for each phone it is sent to. This allows users to modify existing pre-made cartoons or create their own unique animations. Once the animation has been created, users can add text to create a personalised mobile cartoon message. Unlike a text message (SMS), mixipix cartoons can be saved and used as wallpapers, screensavers, ring alerts etc. to personalise the user's phone.
mixipix operates across the consumer and trade markets. In addition to the consumer facing messaging service, the company works with marketing and creative industries to offer a turnkey solution to companies wishing to send animated messages to mobile users worldwide.
mixipix recently launched mixibodz.com, an advanced avatar creation service which allows users to create, dress and animate their own avatars before integrating them into their favourite social networking sites and blogs - or send them to mobile phone handsets.
