Tellme + Fandago: Voice-Activated Movie Information for BlackBerry

Tellme + Fandago: Voice-Activated Movie Information for BlackBerry. Tellme, a Microsoft subsidiary, and Fandango, a moviegoer destination announced the addition of voice-activated movie information for mobile phones. Consumers will be able to simply hold down the 'talk' button, say a movie title or local theater name, and see showtimes, purchase tickets and get driving directions to the theater, all from the phone's screen.

This exclusive Fandango service, using global positioning system (GPS) technology to deliver local information right to the phone's screen, is initially available on BlackBerry phones and will rollout on future versions of Helio Mysto phones.

In the year ahead, moviegoers will be able to obtain a similar service for their GPS-enabled cars, eliminating the need for typing searches in vehicles. The new service will give consumers the information, directions and communication capabilities they need in a faster and safer way.
