Getmo Arabia To Bring Digital Downloads To The Middle East
Arvato Middle East Sales and Abu Dhabi Media Company yesterday announced the launch of Getmo Arabia, a new digital media platform for the Middle East and Africa, at the MECOM 2008 conference in Abu Dhabi.
Getmo Arabia will offer services direct to consumers through www.getmo.com where customers can download over three million songs, videos, movies, games and ringtones in English, Arabic and other Asian languages to their mobile phones & home computers.
The content will be available to users at significantly reduced rates, in hopes to kickstart a new era in the market for mobile & PC entertainment in the region.
Abu Dhabi Media Company also announced a partnership with Sony BMG, in which the record label will provide local and Arabic content for the platform, which can be accessed via PC or mobile.
Getmo Arabia is set to service the 33 million internet users and 80 million mobile phone users in the Middle East region.

Seems like it’s only Windows though, site says IE 6 required.

It’s either I’m stupid or the site is the stupid, I’m trying to visit getmo since yesterday but none of my web browsers could get me in, Mozilla Firefox says “The page isn’t redirecting properly” so I thought it will work with IE, I have IE 6.0 but that too didn’t work, anyway I used a proxy and finally could take a look.

@Mamod: Actually, I think it is accessible for some people. As for me, I too am still getting that redirect loop problem.
