- Blogs - Read and write blogs on-the-go without a PC
- Photos - View photos on friends' profiles optimized for a Helio screen
- Profiles - View profiles and add new friends as users meet them directly from their Helio device
The service will also enhance the overall MySpace experience with new features and content sources including:
- Photo posting directly from a Helio device so experiences are shared as they happen
- Added photo storage capacity exclusively for Helio members
- A mobile online status indicator in a user profile for those online via a Helio device
Helio also unveiled its exclusive devices - the Hero and Kickflip. The jet-black Hero, produced by Pantech, features as a virtual mobile entertainment center. A co-processor chip delivers high-quality music and video through full-duplex stereo speakers. Using a 2.2-inch, 262K-color high-resolution QVGA LCD display, the Hero's 2.0-megapixel camera with digital zoom and flash captures photos and video anywhere on the go.
The pearlescent Kickflip, produced by VK Mobile, packs similar features. Packaged in a sleek body with an innovative swivel form, users can open the Kickflip with a simple nudge of the finger. The Hero and Kickflip both support EV-DO broadband technology, 2.0-megapixel cameras, MP3 players, 70 MB of internal memory plus TransFlash expansion card slots, and a user interface designed by Helio. The jet-black Hero features a "night" themed interface, while the lustrous Kickflip glows with a "day" theme.
Helio will launch in the U.S. this spring.
