• Nico Nico Douga App for iPhone

    Nico Nico Douga, the popular Japanese video sharing site known it’s original interface where users can add comments on video in realtime, has finally released their iPhone app - for free! - according to this article on cNet Japan. The design was based on the companies mobile edition, which was done on Java, launched in 2007, however, iPhone apps need to be coded in C and this apparently caused some real challenges for coding the delivery of certain functions such as commenting.

    While the company began working on this last November, we had Tomohito Kinose - Director - Niwango, Inc. make a presentation [.PDF] to our Mobile Monday Tokyo event in July 2008.
