LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE via COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Nov. 30, 2005--Amp`d Mobile, the first mobile entertainment company created to bring next-gen broadband wireless services to youth, today announced an exclusive content partnership with CollegeHumor.com -- the nation`s most popular college website and a leading viral video site.
