Podcasting
I have been getting calls from several PR agencies trying to get me to do a story on a new service for mobile phones. “Movies on you phone Steve, it will be huge!” So due to popular request, I will be happy to do a story on movies on your mobile phone.
Movies on mobile phones is without question one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard.
While this is probably not the publicity the PR firms were gunning for it is nevertheless my take on movies on phones. There is not a single thing wrong with the concept, there are dozens of things wrong with it.
Where to begin? Screen size, battery life, connection speed, cost, battery life, screen quality, battery life, did I mention battery life?
Do these people who constantly add features to our phones realize that occasionally we want to use the phone to make or receive a phone call? To do that we need the battery to be out of the red, and all these additional activities, listening to music, taking photos and watching Men in Black Part 2 suck up battery life leaving little for making an receiving phone calls.
