Press Release from FOX Mobile Entertainment
FOX Mobile Entertainment (FME) today announced the launch of the Freakin' Sweet Family Guy iPhone application, which gives fans of the popular FOX show the chance to view up to 20 show clips and create custom video mixes. The application also includes special features, such as "Stewie Pin-up" and "Peter Toss," which allow fans to have some fun with the show's popular cast of characters. The application utilizes Apple's 3.0 OS for the iPhone and enables fans to instantly purchase full episodes of FAMILY GUY through an embedded link to iTunes.
The Freakin' Sweet Family Guy iPhone application offers access to 20 video clips at any given time that allow fans to enjoy a wide variety of classic moments from past FAMILY GUY episodes.

"We are excited to work with Apple to give Family Guy fans another great way to interact with this hilarious show and its characters," said Andrew Stalbow, senior vice president of Fox Mobile Entertainment.
