Vodafone Japan is back in Japan’s 3G data race with today’s launch of Vodafone live! BB, a fixed-line PC Web site [only in Japanese so far] that allows users to search and download content for use on mobile terminals. Vodafone live! BB will operate with Vodafone’s new 3G handsets and serve as a a sort of Mother-of-all-Mobile-Portals solution for getting biggie-sized files (think audio, music and video) onto phones. Anyone can download the content files to a PC or laptop, copy them onto miniSD memory cards, and transfer them to a phone, but only Vodafone customers with a spanking new 3G celly can receive a digital key (distributed over the air) to unlock the files for playback.
Vodafone live! BB is a service which downloads large files, such as music or video or idol photo picture files, using personal computers, and then transfers them to your cellular phone.
The desired contents are chosen from a contents menu screen.
The content file is downloaded to a personal computer.
The downloaded content file is transferred to a cellular phone.
The transferred content file is chosen, and “key information” is purchased. (Use of contents is enabled by purchasing “key information”.)
I will enjoy large-sized contents fully!
NOTE: The Sharp (SH-series) models are not yet available so those two target links below are not active at time of publishing.
