Multimedia Handset Growth Still Low in
Europe - Oct 13 2003
"Sending photos and downloading video clips
through mobile phones has been slow to take off,
as penetration rates of multimedia handsets
remain low, according to the
WSJ .
"Handsets capable of sending multimedia
messages will account for about 10% of the
western European market by the end of the year,
while mobile phones with built-in cameras will
have a penetration rate of just 4%, according to
recent research from technology consulting firm
Strategy Analytics".
In-Stat Reports Decreasing Short Messaging
Service in Japan due to MMS - Oct 10 2003
This is a very interesting and surprising
report on the Japanese market, claiming that
text messaging (SMS) is declining in favor of
Multi Media Messaging (MMS).
In-StatMDR expects that SMS will lose ground
to both Multi-Message Services (MMS), e-mail,
and, eventually, to Instant Messaging (IM).
The Asian Pacific region as a whole will see
explosive growth in messaging volumes throughout
the forecast period from 2003 through 2007.
?While SMS will generate the highest volume of
messages of any format, MMS will generate nearly
twice as much revenue, due to the higher tariffs
charged for MMS", reports
In-StatMDR via
Smart Mobs.
MMS Alert of Someone Breaking into your
Home - Oct 8 2003
The
BBC reports on a new security service by a
London based company called
CCTVSafe, that hooks up cameras to the
Internet and sends a text message to a mobile if
something moves. "Home owners can watch the live
pictures from their mobile and alert the police
if someone is attempting a break-in." The images
can be seen on standard GSM mobiles, instead of
sophisticated third generation video phones.
Other companies such as
Obertech Security, equips its customers with
cameras that are capable of transmitting images
to MMS capable mobile phones, enabling clients
to identify at a distance, a person entering a
premise.
And
Surelabs Alertwizard is another company
which offers a security service that sends text
messages, photo and video alerts from a
monitored area, if someone should break in or
just ring the doorbell.
