IcyPole is a smart-phone application which uses Bluetooth personal area network technology to seek out other in-range devices containing music that may be of interest. Once the application detects locally available music matching the consumers own music profile, the device alerts the consumer and allows wireless music sampling as well as a range of community features. The solution builds upon AgentArts' proprietary ExpertDriven(TM) personalization technology which creates a server or client side entertainment profile for each consumer based on online activity or music stored on a device. "Advances in smart-phone storage combined with the always with you, always-on nature of mobile phones are turning the mobile phone into a powerful way to discover new music and connect with like-minded people," said AgentArts CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
