Mobile User Generated Content in Japan – CScout Writes for the Vodafone Receiver
Posted in: mobile, Today's ChiliUser Generated Content…Consumer Generated Media…CGM Night…on your phone?
Sven and I were recently asked by Vodafone to write a piece for the
Vodafone Receiver on how Japanese (and the rest of us for that matter) can/are/will create content, not just with PCs, but on mobile devices that we already have.
Mobile is an area where basic digital content is simple to create (photos, video, audio), but we are now at the point where were can do much more. From digital sampler iPhone Apps to stylus-based art applications, mobile devices are becoming portable creation machines and not just tools for experiencing the creations of others.
In Mobile Creation the Japanese Way, we highlight several unique services and applications that are changing the way we view our downtime. Instead of watching anime on the train, we can make our own. Instead of reading novels, we can write them.
Featured services include mobile novels via No Ichigo, mobile drawing with the innovative 12 Pixels, and full-on animation on the Nintendo DS with Ugoku Memo Chou (hat tip to Marco Koeder for that one!).
Many thanks for Vodafone for asking us to participate!
