BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Music | Classical concerts go digital
This is mobile, informal learning: you can now listen to a concert whilst browsing info about the music and seeing intricate details of the performance via PDA. And for a change this project was not technology-driven, it came out of a recognition that people are increasingly finding these kind of performances less accessible. It looks like involving the stakeholders in mobile services (ie finding out what people actually want to receive, and what people want to send) is what's lacking at the moment. The marketplace is full of services and products that the providers are desperately hoping will catch on. Picture messaging and video calls are two prime examples. But the real success stories are things that people never thought would be so popular, like SMS and, more recently, ring tones.
