Mobile Media

In the past few years mobile phones have become an alternative for almost every electronic communication and entertainment device, with modern models incorporating everything from e-mail to video and music playback.



Above is a demonstration of one of the latest developments for the popular Apple iPhone... RJDJ. RJDJ is just one of many new programs that have come out of a huge developer movement, that has come about due to manufacturers releasing Software Development Kits (SDKs) for their phones, allowing developers to write applications to utilise the phone's hardware.

Mobile phones are an interesting medium for developers to explore. It is an area that is most notable for including more and more features and technology, while at the same time getting smaller and smaller. Mobiles have also become a huge accessory of everyday life. However, although they play a large role in our life, they are not yet a 'part' of everyone's life, as much as a bed or a car may be.
