F or consumers who want similar innovative mobile entertainment content such as the iPhone from Apple, but do not want to invest heavily in a new phone or change carriers, mobile gaming portal Cellufun offers games and other entertainment content, for free. Its newest game, the MobilePet myPhone, allows users to care for, play with and feed the object of their affection. As with all of the company's entertainment content, the game is available to consumers at no cost and works on all Web-enabled handsets, as well as with all carriers.

 

What are MobilePets?

MobilePets are pet avatars that live inside your mobile phone. Like any pet, you must feed them, walk them, play with them and bathe them to keep them healthy and happy. MobilePet gamers are a large, worldwide social network, and MobilePet aficionados text-message each other and send their pets back and forth for visits all the time. Mobile Pet gamers are also in competition, and they score points and achieve rankings depending on how many activities they perform with their pet and how often they interact with their fellow MobilePet users. Cellufun has nearly 500,000 Mobile Pet owners worldwide.

 

Mobile Pet myPhone - iPhone experience

"Creating MobilePet myPhone was a ton of fun," said Cary Torkelson, the creator of the MobilePet series and a long time Mac aficionado. "We took what we believed to be the essentials of the iPhone experience, virtualized it, and made it available to everyone, regardless of what phone they had, in a straightforward yet entertaining way."

 

MobilePet suite - Win an Apple iPhone

MobilePet myPhone is the latest in Cellufun's suite of Mobile Pets including MobilePet Dog, MobilePet Pig, MobilePet Monkey, and MobilePet Penguin. Cellufun recognizes that many people would still like an iPhone and is giving users the ability to win one by playing Mobile Pet myPhone.

 

Apple iPhone - Entertainment content

"Some folks will fork out hundreds of dollars for a new iPhone, but as cool as the device is, you need entertainment content to take advantage of its capabilities," said Steve Dacek, Cellufun's CTO. "We offer games, cartoons and even pets for pretty much any Web-enabled mobile phone, and our content works on hundreds of handsets, so you don't have to spend a dime to have a good time."
