Groove Mobile and Universal Music UK Move Off-Portal

Groove Mobile, the world's leading mobile music commerce service,
announced today a partnership with Universal Music U.K., the U.K.'s
leading record company, to build and operate an innovative off-portal
mobile music store. Through this partnership, U.K. mobile phone users
on any U.K. wireless carrier will have instant access to full track
downloads from Universal Music U.K.'s extensive catalogue via SMS
short codes from their mobile phones.

"Groove Mobile shares our commitment to driving the international
digital music business forward through off-portal innovations that
deliver mobile music to larger audiences," stated Rob Wells, Senior
Vice President, Digital, for Universal Music Group International
(UMGI). "We are enthusiastic about the prospect of bringing our
talented artists direct to consumers using SMS short codes in
partnership with Groove Mobile."

With today's announcement, Groove Mobile and Universal Music U.K.
will bring the top hits to wireless customers who send short code
messages to Universal Music U.K. artists' WAP stores. Universal Music
U.K. is already the recognized leader in digital music, taking four of
the top five best-selling digital albums in 2006. Groove Mobile is the
leading U.K. mobile music platform powering the U.K.'s top-rated
3MusicStore and the Orange Music Player.

"Universal Music U.K. is leveraging the Groove Mobile platform
which runs on a majority of the world's music phones in order to
provide consumers with the robust downloads they have come to expect
when using today's 3G networks," stated Adam Sexton, Chief Marketing
Officer of Groove Mobile. "We are proud to partner with Universal
Music U.K. and share their commitment to leadership in digital music
by bringing mobile phone users in the U.K. the hottest music through
off-portal innovations across multiple carriers."

The Universal Music U.K. Music Store powered by Groove Mobile will
feature full track music downloads from the Universal Music catalogue
