FocusVision Mobile Streaming Available on Android and Blackberry Devices

The decision to push streaming to Android and Blackberry devices is a result of the strong interest in mobile streaming among iPhone and iPad users since releasing the service in April.

Stamford, CT, 6 July 2011 — FocusVision, the leading provider of video transmission and analysis tools for the qualitative research industry, today announced the availability of mobile streaming to Android and Blackberry devices. This is the next phase of mobile streaming since the launch of the service to Apple’s iPad and iPhone this past April.

According to a May ’11 survey conducted by Nielsen, 38% of mobile phone owners now use a smartphone - the iPhone, Android and Blackberry making up almost 90% of the market. Expanding the launch of FocusVision Mobile Streaming to these devices was a natural next step for the Company.

“We originally launched the service to iPad and iPhone users in April and quickly realized the demand for mobile streaming among our clients,” said Eric Grosgogeat CEO for FocusVision. “By adding Android and Blackberry devices we are now able to serve almost anyone who owns a smartphone or a tablet.”

With Mobile Streaming, FocusVision clients receive the same high quality video of their research projects to their mobile devices – giving them greater accessibility than ever. FocusVision recognizes that the needs of the market researcher are changing and continues to adapt with innovative ways of conducting research smarter and faster.

“FocusVision Mobile Streaming really takes FocusVision Streaming to the next level by enabling the client to watch the videos in a smooth, seamless and appealing way,” said Evgenia Kalugina, Associate Market Research Manager for Celgene. “Having the flexibility to watch my projects whether I am in the office, on a plane or in a café, give me so much flexibility.”
