Japan is showing one of the hottest new trends in cell phone use – reading. Today’s cell phones in Japan are filling with books, as users are enjoying reading on their tiny phone screens. Several mobile Web sites are offering novels of all sorts right there on their cells.
A few lines show up at a time, making users scroll quite often on their phone in order to enjoy their book. The screen here is only about half the size of a business card. The latest way to do this is that cell phone novels can be downloaded in short installments and then run on handsets.
This is probably one of the up and coming technologies for America as well. Who has time to sit at home and read a book? Along with the Kindle, which allows you to upload books in a flash and read anywhere that you might find yourself, the cell phone reading craze will offer flexibility, mobility and instant gratification.
Look for this technology to hit the American cell phone soon. It certainly beats mobile gaming and other features for intellectual pursuits!
