SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - September 30, 2008) - Kyte (www.kyte.com), the universal
digital media platform for brands and communities, today announced the
public availability of Kyte Mobile Producer for Nokia S60, a mobile

Mobile Producer for Nokia S60 is now supported on several Nokia S60 3rd Edition camera phones and can be used by
anyone -- from individual consumers to large media and entertainment brands
-- to produce and distribute live and recorded content to multiple
destinations simultaneously, including web sites, blogs, social networks
and mobile phones.
The Kyte Mobile Producer for Nokia S60 private beta program has been a huge
success. Major recording artists and
media and entertainment brands such as The Pussycat Dolls, 50 Cent,
Huffington Post, SPIN Magazine, KCRW, Southern California's leading
National Public Radio (NPR) affiliate, and many others, are using the Kyte
Platform to easily produce and distribute authentic video content and
engage with audiences at a level and frequency not previously possible.
"Kyte enables SPIN Magazine to increase its brand visibility online and on

"Kyte enables us to bring our listeners behind the scenes and experience
everything the station does from a different perspective," said Anil Dewan,
KCRW's Director of New Media. "We used Kyte for our summer pledge drive
and to cover the Democratic and Republican National Conventions and were
impressed with the flexibility of the Kyte Platform. The ability to stream
live or 'record and upload,' with no editing or encoding required, allowed
us to provide a lot of interesting content, easily and immediately."
"We are very excited to see the Kyte Platform being adopted by such a wide
range of brands within the media and entertainment industry," said Daniel
