SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mimvi, Inc. (OTCBB:MIMV), the world's largest pure-play search, discovery and recommendation engine for mobile apps (or applications), announced today NBT Research, LLC has issued a new research report on the Company with a Speculative Buy rating. The report examines the significant market opportunity Mimvi has in the mobile internet sector given its unique positioning as a pure-play search and recommendation engine for mobile apps and mobile web apps across multiple platforms and devices.
In the report, Tobin Smith, author and Fox Business News technology industry television commentator, examines the Company's points of strategic advantage, "As we migrate from the desktop internet world to a new dawn driven by mobile devices, Mimvi provides a value proposition perfectly positioned for this sea change. Powered by proprietary algorithms developed for the mobile internet across multiple platforms, and given the staggering growth levels and forecasts for smartphone adoption and mobile application downloads, the timing could not be more opportune." Mr. Smith went on to say, "These strategic advantages are compounded by the battle currently being waged between Google and Apple, meaning neither will index apps outside their own platforms as this would drive sales of competitor devices. And with neither company indexing all their apps, further opportunity is afforded Mimvi to become the entry point for the mobile internet."
The report also highlights how the Company will generate revenue. Primarily, Mimvi intends to secure revenue via a proven "Google-like" model driven by search results or paid searches. Other significant streams of revenue include transactions inside mobile apps, licensing and revenue share deals and advertising.
Kasian Franks, Mimvi's Founder and CEO, provided further insight into the mobile app opportunity, "Companies like MacroSolve and Glu Mobile are benefiting from the explosion in the development of mobile apps across multiple smartphone platforms. Mimvi is a company designed to maximize this opportunity by providing consumers and developers the leading search engine for all mobile apps and mobile content."
