Hey all, great points about mobile, all make great points!!
For those that don't know me, I'm Jason from Funbox. We have been doing mobile around the world for 4 years for Europe to Australia to USA and New Zealand.
Pretty much most products on mobile are a novelty, they are a 'personality' item like a pair of shoes or clothes. People buy them to express their individuality.
Let me tell you there is great money in mobile but my experience is there is more to be made in the 'soft' arena than the hardcore. Carriers around the world are much more on top of regulating than the internet obviously and thus create a lot ot hoops to jump through unlike the internet.
I always say when asked that mobile to the Adult industry is your "do you want fries with that" its a great little cross sell to maximise your traffic with little to no work if done with the right people.
Also deal with the lowest common denominator, I'd rather have a million guys with a crap phone that can at best handle pictures paying $9.99 a month and text then a 1,000 guys paying a few dollars every now and then that can down load clips.
If you are serious about making money on mobile shoot me an email or ICQ.
Cheers
