Wirefly.com, an online leader in one-stop comparison shopping for
cell phones and wireless service plans, today launched U-DOO, the
first-ever �build-your-own� ringtone application that allows users
to download talking avatars to their wireless devices for use as
ringtones. A fun, creative and easy-to-use mobile social networking
program, U-DOO (www.u-doo.com) was created by Wirefly.com in
coordination with Oddcast, a developer and distributor of talking
avatar technologies. U-DOO allows users to email personalized
avatar ringtones of their own voice or playful pre-recorded
messages to their friends, and their friends can then download them
to their phone where they can be set to �ring� whenever the
associated friend calls. Recipients of a U-DOO email are also given
the opportunity to create their own U-DOO character and ringtone.
U-DOO also allows users to publish their talking avatar to their
MySpace page. U-DOO�s email and MySpace options are free to
end-users, and the wireless download option is offered as a
subscription service through wireless carriers with a 60-day free
trial and $4.99 per month for unlimited access thereafter. U-DOO
supports downloads to most devices from major U.S. wireless
carriers, including Verizon Wireless, Sprint, Cingular Wireless and
T-Mobile. �With the advent and fast-growing phenomenon in online
self expression sites, we saw a great opportunity to develop and
launch U-DOO as a fun social networking and viral marketing tool
for the wireless realm. We see U-DOO as a creative and unique way
for younger customers to use their mobile device to interact both
with their peers and also with the Wirefly brand,� said David A.
Steinberg, Wirefly�s Chairman and CEO. �We hope that U-DOO�s
�build-your-own� ringtone functionality will be a catalyst behind
the emergence of mobile social networking.� U-DOO users start by
selecting from one of over 20 base characters. The user then has
the option of customizing facial features, accessorizing their
character with various hairstyles, clothing, hats and jewelry, and
then creating the custom audio track. Create your own U-DOO at
