As a fan of mobile phone technology, I am grateful to see the launch of innovative mobile services. The announcement of launching TV show specially made for mobile phone is definitely a good news to me. This TV show will be a total of 25-minutes series, comprising five 5-minutes episodes.

Basically, the story line is about 2 motorcycle racers are competing each other to woo for the same woman. The show is named “Appointment“. :)

Quoted:
“Appointment” is just one early example of what’s being pegged as the next boom in mobile entertainment after music, though some industry observers have doubts about whether users will pay very much to watch TV on a phone’s tiny screen.

There are some difficulties for the actors casting in the movie, such as there will definitely have a lot of close-ups and gestures of the actors, simply because the constraint of screen size. Emotions have to come from facial expressions only, and it has to be quite visible. Besides, there will be as little dialogue, otherwise the actors will have to speak in a faster pace. :p

As expected by Le-TV Media general manager Liu Hong, TV shows made for mobile phone will be the next success in mobile technology, as it is perfect for a viewer waiting to catch a plane, riding a bus or relaxing after a big meal. Personally, I think this business plan is only viable in countries with wide 3G network converage, definitely not in Malaysia, yet.
