I played with one of the new FOMA phones briefly, and even just looking at
my own sorry
face on video, I thought "I have to have one of these phones.". I didn't
think "do I need it?" or
"will I have anyone to call?", it was just a more primal response. So ... I
think video
is a killer app for mobile phones. It may be that people won't pay any more
money for it,
but I bet that if one provider has it, a lot of people will demand that
their own provider get it, or
they will switch. But the quality and especially the frame rate is
critical. There is a world of difference
between 10 fps, 20 fps, and 30 fps. I couldn't care less about 10 fps,
15-20 fps is a cute toy,
and 30 fps is "I'll take it".
