Mobile Data Corp. Completes Due Diligence of Unique Social Media Application and Enters Into Asset Purchase Agreement; Initial Product Launch and Release Planned for Facebook®
SAN JOSE, CA, Aug. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Mobile Data Corp. ("MDC") announces the completion of due diligence in connection with a recent Letter Agreement entered into with BEET Company Ltd. ("BEET") to acquire certain assets from BEET for the development of an application for use in various social media initiatives.
MDC has determined that the application under review met the necessary criteria for MDC to become involved in furthering what is essentially the 'last mile' development of the software application and introducing it to the social media marketplace. As a result, MDC has entered into a definitive agreement with BEET to acquire the assets and immediately begin the process of completing final development of the application. Given its current stage of development, MDC expects that it will be able to complete the necessary 'last mile' programming of the application and beta test it in under 30 days.
Furthermore, MDC is pleased to announce that once the application is completed and tested, it plans to initially launch it and make it available to the members of Facebook®. Facebook® is a natural fit for MDC's new software application - which has yet to be named - as it is the preeminent social media platform and recently reported it has over 750 million members worldwide. The MDC application for Facebook® is an application that could conceivably be utilized by every member of Facebook® whether they are an individual, corporation, informal group or formal organization.
Mobile is a solutions provider for telecommunications and computer convergence technology. MDC previously developed the "MDCTracker™", and the "MDC-KidTracker™" child safety application for BlackBerry® Smartphones. MDC is committed to acquiring and developing software applications to provide real solutions that address real issues. Developing products for use in social media forums is a natural progression of the MDC's overall business and corporate strategy.
