HELIO LLC, a new mobile service designed for young, connected consumers, has announced its immediate nationwide availability through helio.com, 888-88-HELIO and through approximately 1,000 retail locations by the end of May.

“Helio is custom-built for the lifestyle of young people who have their mobile device at the center of their universe,” said Sky Dayton, CEO HELIO LLC. “Mobile devices are with us all the time and they shouldn’t be limited to making calls, sending text messages and downloading content. With Helio, mobile is about staying connected in innovative ways where sharing your world includes content like videos and games, or unique personalization that you know your friends will love. These are things that have been happening on the Internet for years, but haven’t been taken mobile – until now.”

Helio’s service leverages the power of 3G plus the multimedia features of its exclusive launch devices – Hero and Kickflip™ – to give its members unique community features like MySpace on Helio, gifting and begging of content, group picture and video messaging, and dynamic news feeds to keep them connected to friends and information in new, unique ways.
