Limited selection of mobile videos quickly bores users

According to research reported in 3G Portal, there are basically two kinds of situations in which the use of a mobile video phone seems meaningful: 1) When users entertain themselves in boring situations (on a bus trip or waiting on line). Or 2), Sharing experiences, such as watching a karaoke video or children's animated cartoons. The research report is available for download.

Apparently quite soon, enthusiasm turns into boredom largely due to the limited content of the video selection.
