Tapjoy Introduces Mobile Video Ads Based on Mobile Value Exchange

San Francisco, CA – September 20, 2011 – Tapjoy, Inc. (www.tapjoy.com), a leading independent mobile advertising marketplace, today announced the availability of Tapjoy Videos, an innovative mobile video advertising platform designed to provide advertisers with the reach, impact and brand building power of TV combined with the targeting and user engagement offered by Tapjoy’s extensive pay-for-performance ad marketplace. Leading brands taking part in the launch include Gap, Old Navy, Gamefly, eHarmony, Netflix, Intuit, Zynga and others.

"Video ads are expected to be one of the fastest growing segments of the mobile advertising industry, which according to Gartner is predicted to balloon to more than $20 billion by 2015," said Mihir Shah, president and CEO of Tapjoy. "Clearly, advertisers are bullish on mobile video ads, and we help them reach more than 50 million people per day in a way that allows them to engage with their audiences in much deeper and more meaningful ways than TV ads ever could."

Mobile Value Exchange and Pay-Per-Completed-Video Engagement Pricing Deliver Results at Lower Costs

With consumer audiences shifting media consumption from TV to more interactive forms of entertainment such as the Internet and mobile applications, many brands are reallocating budgets accordingly. An eMarketer report predicts that US mobile ad spend will grow between 25 and 36 percent annually over the next three years, while traditional media ad spend will essentially remain flat. However, eMarketer also reports that only 38 percent of online videos are viewed to their completion, proving that true engagement can be hard to find, even in digital advertising.

Tapjoy Videos solves this challenge by allowing advertisers to sponsor content within popular applications, enabling consumers to unlock premium features or content in exchange for watching videos. This sponsorship establishes a unique value exchange in which the user gets a premium application content experience for viewing a video ad in its entirety and the advertiser receives the user’s attention for the duration of its message. Tapjoy Videos features pay-for-completed-view pricing to guarantee results at a significantly lower acquisition cost than TV advertising.

Consumer Choice and Interactivity Further Increase Engagement

With Tapjoy Videos, consumers choose which ad they want to watch, and this self-selection process helps ensure the viewer is more interested and engaged in the video than when viewing an automatically generated pre-roll ad or similarly disruptive video ad. Upon completion of the video, advertisers can give consumers further options to engage with their brand through actions such as following the company on Facebook or Twitter, forwarding the video to friends, or visiting the advertiser’s web site and allowing consumers to make purchases directly through their mobile device. These actions further increase the effectiveness of the ads and deepen user engagement on a one-to-one basis.

Increased Revenue and Better User Experience for App Developers

Tapjoy Videos enables mobile application developers to generate incremental revenue by providing consumers with virtual currency as the value exchange for engaging with video ads. The ads are seamlessly embedded into the application experience through the Tapjoy SDK, so users can watch video content without having to leave the application. Tapjoy intelligently places targeted video ads along with other ad types to maximize publisher revenue. Tapjoy Videos is architected to minimize bandwidth usage.

Developers can integrate Tapjoy Videos by downloading the Tapjoy Publisher SDK at www.tapjoy.com. Advertisers interested in distributing ads through Tapjoy Videos should contact adsales@tapjoy.com.

Tapjoy is the success engine for mobile application distribution, engagement and revenue. The company's turnkey in-app advertising platform helps developers acquire cost-effective, high-value new users, drive engagement within their applications, and create incremental income by providing an ad-funded payment method.

Wind River and Leadcore Team to Develop and Test Android SoC

Wind River and Leadcore Team to Develop and Test Android SoC

ALAMEDA, Calif. and SHANGHAI, China – Sept. 20, 2011 – Wind River and Leadcore Technology Co. Ltd. today announced that the two companies have collaborated to develop a new Android system-on-chip (SoC) smartphone platform. Leadcore also implemented Wind River’s testing software to test the smartphone platform for software quality, performance and compliance with the Android Compatibility Test Suite (CTS).

China-based Leadcore, a leading solution provider of TD-SCDMA mobile phone and mobile terminals has offered its new ARM9-based SoC platform and will launch its Cortex-A9 vision later this year, aimed to further drive the adoption of low-cost Android smartphones in regional markets. Lending its extensive Android expertise and services, Wind River worked with Leadcore from the ground up to port and enable Android on Leadcore’s SoC platform, overcome technical challenges around performance optimization, and customize Android to take advantage of Leadcore’s specific SoC capabilities.

"Wind River can help customers enter desirable regional markets quickly with high-quality Android devices certified on local operator networks,” said Jerry Ashford, vice president and general manager of mobile solutions at Wind River. "Wind River provides a reliable commercial-quality Android platform that allows customers to tackle complex and expensive engineering obstacles such as integration and testing to meet tight deadlines and stay on budget."

"In these two years, Leadcore has made a focused effort on Android smartphone solutions for TD/GGE multi-mode. We were in search of a trusted partner with Android experience who could help us navigate through the complexities of Android development and testing, including Android compliance,” said Sun Yuwang, president of Leadcore. "Wind River has the proven Android expertise and deep knowledge of Chinese operator requirements. Being able to leverage the combination of both was essential for our success.”

Enabling Android on a new SoC is often a challenging process since the engineering team must determine how to test a system before it is actually functional. By taking advantage of the hardware abstraction layer test suite within Wind River Framework for Automated Software Testing (FAST), Leadcore was able to focus on low-level software development and board support package hardening. By using Wind River FAST, Leadcore streamlined its software testing process using a layered approach. Wind River FAST helps validate software quality on other layers and executes automated application-driven stress tests and performance tests. Also, for easy access and reporting of test results, Wind River FAST for Android automates thousands of heterogeneous tests and consolidates the results into a single uniform database. Wind River FAST for Android is a comprehensive automated software testing solution for Android-based devices. Throughout the entire process, Wind River provided Leadcore with its world-class support and services.
