More mobisodes
A Singapore television station is making its romantic drama series, PS I Luv U, available in three-minute episodes on 3G mobile handsets. The mobile show will launch throughout Asia, but already handset makers are trying to develop video-ready programming that can be aired on wireless networks, according to this Reuters article.

Finally! Taking for granted there should be good content ready for the "emerging" technologies, e.g. interactive/mobile TV in this case, is the usual situation of the capitals who own it - till the needs of new profrssionals is realized. The media tycoons should invest/donate more to the education before those new gigs grow overstocked.

* Sigh *
I'm not so sure that the average human being is intelligent enough to NOT watch such a soap-opera on his cell phone while driving. How about newsfeeds like BBC or Reuters on your cell phone? Oh wait, that's not entertainment, therefore wouldn't generate $...
