New online mobile service- Newsjack

This from the Peter Chamberlain who emailed me from his service NewsJack

"NewsJack is built specifically with a focus on video enabled mobile phones. It is accessed by a web front end or by WAP, so you don’t even need a computer to use the NewsJack service.

Internet usage is taking off with next generation mobile smart phones. Internet usage on mobile phones is up around 20% on last year (Google). Such a prospect with the knowledge that there are over 3 billion phones in use in the world today (three times as many phones as PC’s) it’s a sobering statistic and means a big potential audience.

You’re no doubt aware of YouTube, and there are many other services vying to host your valued user created content. So what makes NewsJack any different?

Already mentioned, NewsJack is aimed specifically at mobile phones and that’s because it’s backed by ROK a mobile technology and content specialist with an unprecedented global reach into the mobile markets."

Could this be the clearest evidence yet that London Undergrounds tube network could soon no longer be a mobile free zone, as this exclusive film indicates

The tube is probably the last refuge from the all pervasive din of mobile phones and often inconsiderate callers with little phone etiquette.

Last week a man practically gave out his home address, National Insurance number and Date of Birth on a busy carriage.

But, with all that said, many would like to see London's tube capable of receiving mobile phone signals.

So this man walked by me, looking like something out of robocop: an antenna hanging behind his ear and a mobile and graphic user interface in front of him.


I had my Canon IXUS 70 in my bag and walked up to him.

He clearly saw me filming but I did not want to draw attention to it so excuse the wobbly shots.
