I swear, I don't steal any ideas...

Okay, so I've decided to ammend my blog's purpose. What I intend on covering is the momentum of the mobile entertainment market to become a place where online interactivity is easy to do and strongly encouraged. Hopefully this will help stimulate the minds of our creative geniouses out there (and maybe someone can capitalize on one of my ideas).

Take, for instance, the cellular phone market. Sure, we all use cell phones to call eachother and leave text messages, but there is so much more promise to this technology. Let's merge the ability to message eachother and use the mobile internet. I have this idea that we could create a place where users create a personal profile with information about themselves, a few pictures, and a comment section. Well it seems the masterminds at MySpace.com have thought up one way of accomplishing this: http://www.betanews.com/article/Cell_Provider_to_Offer_MySpace_Phone/1140134541.

I'll be honest when I say I think this method is slightly flawed. It seems to be the same thing we are able to do now with internet-ready phones. This is just a simplified way of accessing the website and making some posts to it.

Why half-ass this idea? There is so much promise there. Make it so you can upload new photos with your camera phone or upload video and display it on a server for everyone to see. None of these phones announced have a QWERTY based keypad on it, only the standard numeric pad. Cell phones are supposed to be "on-the-go" equipment. It would take the normal person 10 minutes to make a small post.

So much promise, yet so little went into the planning of this new cell phone. At least that's my two cents.
