Comics on R World

Posted on | October 25, 2005 |

Reliance Infocomm users can now enjoy reading comic strips on their mobiles through the Mobile Comics Service launched on R World.

Currently available strips, costing Rs 2 per log-on, feature Indian characters Chacha Chowdhary, Biloo & Pinki and the international teen-favourite Archies.

I think comic strips on mobile phones make a compelling service. I would gladly pay, to be able to read Calvin & Hobbes on my mobile. Strips not only fit the screen resolution of a typical mid-range phone like Nokia 6600 (176*208), but can also be stored in the gif image format which reduces the file size thus making it suitable for slow GPRS connections.
