mobile, or at least not videos created by someone else.
In the last year the 'average' adult people at work have got phones
with colour screen and photo and/or video features. But they dont use
them much, Ive seen a few people do a few short personal recordings of
moments, often when drunk. A few people used video recording on phones
during the 7/7 London attacks.
The media here keep going on about some phenomenon called 'happy
slapping' which appears to be mostlyteenagers assaulting other people
and recording the attacks using mobile phones, this is obviously an
alarming development and the media get all sensational about it. As my
teenage days are long behind me, I cannot tell how large this 'happy
slapping' thing really is.
So anyway, personally I dont think either the watching of video on
mobiles or the recording of video has taken off in this country in a
huge way yet. I remain very unclear as to whether it will, this has
been going on very slowly for years. Certainly it seems that this
stuff, eg some content to watch, now exists, which is at least a
start, its taking a long time in my opinion.
Im sure I did read that its starting to take off bigtime in a few
places, maybe Japan or South Korea, I just cant remember, but it still
feels more like hype at the moment.
How is the PSP phenomenon going? Has anyone in the USA seen much
evidence of them being used to watch video yet?
Should we be expecting this stuff to takeoff (or maybe already taken
off) in quite a specific 'market' to start with, eg teenagers?
Certainly that wouldnt surprise me, but Im disconnected from that age
bracket so have no idea really.
