It looks like Apple is not the only one that can serve HD quality movies online from now on. A startup company, M3X Media has announced the availability of a free Web-based application that transforms the popular Apple iPhone mobile phone into a multimedia entertainment platform, unchained from Apple’s iTunes online music store.

This breakthrough coincides with the launch of the limited public beta test of GruvMe, the first mobile service that brings together the most popular forms of digital entertainment onto one platform, regardless of device type or service provider. iPhone users can get this capability from the iPhone-optimized site www.gruvme.com.

The new GruvMe service puts in consumers’ hands a music, video and gaming experience as well as a social networking service. It offers an ever-expanding library with millions of songs, thousands of videos and hundreds of games. In addition, full-length motion pictures as well as top cable TV programming will be available through the GruvMe service for viewing on an iPhone once the limited public beta is completed.

Consumers can opt for an all-you-can-eat monthly subscription of $9.95 for the core service of music, videos and games. Content can also be purchased. For example, all music titles are 99 cents each; videos and games will also be available for purchase. The pricing for the movies and TV content will be finalized soon.

The age of advertising has diverted its attention towards mobile phones, making these devices the mediums of effective marketing and promotion tactics. This trend is expected to grow particularly now that advertisers are expected to dramatically increase their spending on “third-screen” ad campaigns targeted specifically to users of mobile data services, providing a potentially huge new revenue stream for operators of mobile networks, according to the latest report by Pyramid Research.

Pyramid predicts that mobile advertising will boost mobile data service revenues by 10 percent within the next five years, as mobile service adoption rates grow worldwide. Mobile data services are expected to account for more than 33 percent of operators’ service revenues at the global level by 2013, making any driver of this market a strategic component.

The expected growth in mobile data subscriptions will make mobile advertising a robust growth area despite an expected overall downturn in advertising spending over the next two years, notes Jan Ten Sythoff, manager of Mobile Content at Pyramid Research and co-author of the report. “Fixed-line Internet and mobile platforms will take market share away from traditional formats in the short term and grow in line with economic recovery from 2011 onward,” says Sythoff. “Mobile and Internet platforms combined will account for roughly 12 percent of overall advertising spending in emerging markets and 30 percent in developed countries by 2013.”
