Superheroes coming to mobile phones
Spiderman, the X-Men and other assorted superheroes and villains of the galaxy of imagination could soon be acting out their epic battles on mobile phones.As well as keeping in touch with loved ones through cheap international calls, mobile phone users could be keeping up with their favourite superhero's adventures.
Comic books have already made it onto mobile phones in Japan, where they have helped the mobile publication market to double, according to Impress R&D.
The move to make comic books accessible to mobile phones is part of a trend seeing providers add data and services well beyond simple calling and sending texts.
And, with phones such as Apple's iPhone, which are designed to access the internet and carry out other functions with a big viewing screen, the trend looks set to continue.
"Until now, users had been extensively using mobile phones for emails," Shinko Securities analyst Tomohiko Okugawa told Reuters. "Now that's shifting to games and comics ... this is the area it's going to be very interesting."
