Demand For Mobile Video Seen
In-Stat/MDR has done a study, which they claim indicates that consumers are very interested in mobile video applications. I’m still not entirely sold on this market. I do think that there’s a place for mobile video, but I don’t think it’s just going to be “watching TV on your mobile phone.” That still seems like a novelty application, more than something that will really catch on. For it to be valuable, it has to do something different, and really take advantage of the connectivity of the phone. Still, the survey showed that people are interested in the idea – and expect to see plenty of companies jumping on the bandwagon as quickly as possible.
