Industry News Release Written By: Keith Cozzens

DURANGO, CO – According to a report from eweek.com, the number of people using their mobile devices on a daily basis to access news and other information more than doubled between January 2008 and January 2009, to 22.4 million. More than a third of smartphone users (37%) get news from their iPhone and Blackberry devices. And, when the outdoor trade publication SNEWS recently polled more than 30 industry executives about what their favorite laptop bag was, SNEWS were told “Who needs a laptop bag when you have a smartphone.”

We get the picture.

Verde PR & Consulting announces the launch of a new mobile app for media, bringing the world of Verde and its client family to mobile smartphone devices across the world.

Media can now access up-to-the-minute Verde info on the go with the new Verde mobile app, which consists of links to the Verde PR Blog, Twitter feed, contact info, client info and Flickr page. More media-targeted features will be introduced over 2010.

To get the app, visit the Verde mobile site, and download the Verde icon to your phone by pressing the “+” button and adding it to your home screen. Unlike traditional mobile apps, Verde’s application isn’t housed on iTunes, but rather on the agency’s uniquely branded mobile Web site. The Verde mobile app is compatible with the iPhone and iTouch (downloadable icon for home screen) and can be used with any other smartphone operating systems – minus the downloadable icon.

It’s FREE, it’s progressive, it’s useful and it’s packed with Verde information.

Stay in the loop with Verde, the most progressive and broad-reaching brand communications agency in the outdoor industries.
