Is There Money In Mobile

I don't know but I do have a few thoughts.

In my opinion, there are a number of stumbling blocks:

- With no SMS billing in North America, the surfer has to use a credit card which is less likely with a cell phone browser. Some phone browsers don't even have secured connections for CC transactions. Having to use a PC browser first cuts down on impulse buying which we know are a lot of our sales.

- There doesn't appear to be standard for hardware and software (screen size, file format support, javascript support) so you can make sites that would look great on one phone and are useless on another. As Cleo said there are 3M iPhones so maybe specializing in one phone type might work.

- Most smartphones today support media cards. A porn consumer may just load some movies and pics on his/her media card and slip it into their phone thereby bypassing the porn purchase through the cell phone.

My 2c.
