Nokia Maps
Nokia and Best Buy used Mobile Billboard to deploy a programmed SD card solution that turned a standard SD card into an effective distribution and promotional tool for the Nokia Maps service. Users purchased the SD card pre-programmed for specific Nokia phones and simply inserted the card into the device. The application auto-ran, detected the appropriate phone model and parameters and seamlessly stepped users through the installation process without requiring any input from the user beyond permission to proceed.

Nokia/Emusic SD Card Promo
Nokia and Emusic used Mobile Billboard to turn a standard SD card into an extremely effective promotional tool and delivery platform for the Emusic service and their content. Upon insertion into the device, the application auto-ran and presented the user with an offer to select and install tracks from a catalog of free music on the card and prompted them to sign up online to get even more. When connected to the PC, the user is also prompted with a web link on the PC that leads them to the Emusic site and a promotional page where they could sign up for the additional free tracks.

Nokia Games
Nokia and Best Buy employed Mobile Billboard to deliver a value-added SD card product pre-programmed with a catalog of N-Gage games for the user to install and try. No longer limited to a few megabytes of space in phone memory, Nokia was able to use an entire SD card to program an extensive catalog of games that the user could install immediately without having to worry about downloading or data charges. The application auto-ran upon insertion of the card, detected the device model and automatically ran a seamless and easy-to-use interface that allowed users to find, review and install games of their choice. The same scenario can turn a bundled SD card from a sunk cost into an efficient and powerful delivery platform for all types of pre-load content, device setup/support, service promotions and an almost limitless catalog of applications and media.
