START MOBILE ART WIDGETS uniquely deliver 'art wallpapers' to mobile devices globally, and can be added to any website - effectively bringing the START MOBILE storefront to websites around the world.

Featured ARTIST WIDGETS include:

Shepard Fairey: http://www.startmobile.com/shepardfairey.html

Vulcan: http://www.startmobile.com/vulcan.html

Sugarluxe: http://www.startmobile.com/sugarluxe.html

Flower Power: http://www.startmobile.com/flowerpower.html

Drop Dead Sexy: http://www.startmobile.com/dropdeadsexy.html

All START MOBILE WIDGETS are built and powered by DIJIT, the mobile widget storefront technology that is available exclusively from XLR8 MOBILE.

"We couldn't afford to spend millions marketing the START MOBILE website, so we decided that we would have to bring the START MOBILE website directly to the customers," said John Doffing, the founder of START MOBILE. "START MOBILE ART WIDGETS, powered by DIJIT, allow us to do just that - for 99 cents, mobile consumers worldwide can get NEW ART delivered directly to their cell phone as a wallpaper. And they can do this from any website in the world which features a START MOBILE ART WIDGET."

XLR8 MOBILE'S DIJIT technology makes it possible for START MOBILE ART WIDGETS to be added to websites and social networking sites globally with a single click.

Get paid | Start mobile widget affiliation program

The START MOBILE ART WIDGET also does something else - it pays people who put it on their website, blog or social networking page. The affiliate program, designed by XLR8 Mobile as part of its DIJIT platform, enables greater user interaction and participation.

"We pay a 10% commission to the website, blog or social networking page that features a START MOBILE ART WIDGET that sells any art wallpaper," according to John Doffing, founder of START MOBILE. "We hope that a lot of people take advantage of this program, and in the process, help to bring some amazing NEW ART to mobile phones around the world."

New Art.

START MOBILE ART WIDGETS feature original artwork from a number of acclaimed contemporary artists, including Shepard Fairey, Vulcan, Sugarluxe, Mark Wasyl, and Jess Volinski.

"We just launched the START MOBILE ART WIDGETS in a private beta test last week, and already websites, social network profile pages and blogs around the world feature our mobile storefronts," Doffing commented. "We hope that thousands of web pages worldwide will feature START MOBILE ART WIDGETS, bringing new art to a global audience that has been clamoring for more unique + compelling mobile content. There has to be more to the new mobile medium than singing frogs and recycled clip-art of bikini models!"

According to artist Chandra Michaels, whose Sugarluxe artwork is featured in the first set of START MOBILE ART WIDGETS, "This is an amazing branding opportunity for Sugarluxe, not to mention the optimal way to offer my artwork to mobile phones around the world - right from my own website."

Launch Special: 99 Cent Wallpapers!

In conjunction with the launch of the first START MOBILE ART WIDGETS, all mobile art wallpapers are 99 cents each.

Plus - no recurring fees or shady contracts - just 99 cents per art wallpaper, billed once directly to your phone.

All START MOBILE ART WIDGETS are powered by DIJIT.
