/PRNewswire/ -- Global wireless entertainment publisher JAMDAT
Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ:JMDT) and Verizon Wireless, the nation's
leading wireless provider, announced today the availability of
JAMDAT 3D Bowling on V CAST, the nation's first true 3G wireless
broadband consumer multimedia service. V CAST enables customers to
view crystal clear graphics for 3D games and short content because
it runs on Verizon Wireless' Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO)
network -- the only widely available wide-area wireless broadband
network in the United States. The V CAST coverage area, which
mirrors the Verizon Wireless EV-DO network, is available in more
than 30 major metropolitan markets and covers more than 75 million
people. JAMDAT 3D Bowling allows players to transform their mobile
phones into virtual bowling alleys, with new, state-of-the-art 3D
graphics. The high-tech graphics engine enables gamers to see
straight down the lane and change camera views while they bowl.
With the new wide selection of lanes, balls and pin colors and
multiplayer options, JAMDAT 3D Bowling is the most complete bowling
experience outside the neighborhood bowling alley. "JAMDAT 3D
Bowling takes one of the most popular video games to a whole new
level with an incredible 3D gameplay experience on V CAST from
Verizon Wireless," said Mitch Lasky, Chairman and CEO of JAMDAT
Mobile Inc. "JAMDAT continues to be at the forefront of gameplay
innovation and third-generation multimedia services are the next
step in wireless entertainment." V CAST's array of hot new
multimedia programming is located in the Get It Now(R) virtual
store -- customers can access video from favorite news, sports and
entertainment providers in the getVIDEO shopping aisle and check
out new cutting-edge 3D games, including JAMDAT 3D Bowling, in the
getGAMES aisle. V CAST also gives customers unlimited airtime to
browse and view applications in the other familiar Get It Now
shopping aisles -- such as getTONES and getGOING. For $15.00
monthly access added to their Verizon Wireless calling plan,
customers get the V CAST VPak which includes unlimited access to a
wide array of more than 300 daily updated video clips from leading
content providers. Unlimited basic video clips are included, but
application download fees will still apply for 3D games, premium
video clips, and all other Get It Now applications. JAMDAT 3D
Bowling is available in the getGAMES shopping aisle of the Get It
Now virtual store for $2.49 monthly access or $8.99 for unlimited

Bowling or stream and watch other V CAST short content. For a

months of service free. Verizon Wireless V CAST customers also
receive monthly access and unlimited browsing on Verizon Wireless'
Mobile Web 2.0(SM) news and information service. In addition,
customers can choose from premium video clips, available at
additional cost that will include music videos and more. V CAST
customers can play JAMDAT 3D Bowling on the new 3G-capable VX8000
