inmobly's core product is PAUL, an Android app that uses a predictive cache/download algorithm to prefetch videos from services including Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, CNN and ESPN ScoreCenter. PAUL also integrates with Last.fm to provide preloaded playlists based on users' favorite stations. The app downloads and caches select videos when connected to local WiFi so content is available offline and lessens mobile network load. inmobly pursues a two-pronged strategy: a stand-alone app as proof of concept and integrations with major video providers and MVNOs. The company highlights battery-safety measures (PAUL wakes periodically and pauses downloads on low battery) and launched the app on Google Play. Financially, inmobly has secured early backing, having received pre-seed funding to support product development and partnerships.
