Cozi and T-Mobile USA, announced the launch of MobileLife
Family Organizer (MLFO), an application and online service that makes managing
busy family schedules a snap with a shared calendar, shopping lists, to-do
lists, family journal and more.
The application is available for consumers who use
smartphones running on Android, iOS, and BlackBerry and is conveniently
preloaded on new T-Mobile devices, including the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and the
recently announced T-Mobile myTouch and the T-Mobile myTouch Q.
T-Mobile knows that mobile devices are often the hub
through which families connect and share. Our partnership with Cozi presented
the perfect opportunity to develop an application that would help families not
only stay more connected but feel more organized while on the go,” said Torrie
Dorrell, vice president of applications, content and gaming at T-Mobile USA.
The MLFO is a version of Cozi’s service customized for
T-Mobile customers that enables busy families to keep up with appointments and
lists, coordinate work and home schedules, and share favorite memories and
photos in one place.
It includes a family calendar, to-do list, shopping list,
family journal and the family message board, a new feature currently exclusive
to T-Mobile customers, which allows families to leave messages for each other
over email and text message.
MLFO provides a cohesive, cross-platform experience for
families, making it easier to keep everyone updated and connected. For
T-Mobile, the availability of MLFO marks the first time the company has
launched a branded application across OS platforms, offering it for download in
four marketplaces: Android Market, Amazon Appstore for Android, Blackberry App
World, and Apple’s App Store.
There is no question that mobile is the ‘missing link’
to bring online utilities, such as calendars and to-do lists, to families,”
said Robbie Cape, CEO, Cozi.
Recently, retail chain Walmart and T-Mobile USA announced
that T-Mobile will launch
a $30 unlimited web and text monthly 4G prepaid service plan providing
customers great value on a no-annual contract 4G data offering.
The plan will be sold exclusively in-store at more than
2,200 Walmart stores and is expected to launch Oct. 16. The new flexible and
affordable plan will provide Walmart customers with access to America’s largest
4G Network.
