Getting information send to my phone faster than I can write it down… that a no brainer for me, being able to send mobile URL’s / bookmarks etcs to myself for use when im on the road for free is also very handy… and for free without having to open my email client

It does seem like a lot of whiz with little bang. However, certain things might be good to get quickly without looking up the email address of the persons phone since that’s network specific. You could email a summary of product reviews to yourself before you go to the store…maybe the time is right for self-phone spamming…

@rh: Twitter still hasn’t sold my number off to telemarketers yet…though it may just be a matter of time. haha

It’ll be interesting to see whether or not they offer something like what Moblin does in the future (seems like a logical progression to me).

I think the thing to really watch is the advertising side of things…. the mobile advertising market is yet to be tapped.

Interesting…I just blogged on a somewhat similar topic at http://banking-on-it.com/?p=27 in which I mention a technology called Zapcode. That allows users to walk past a physical location and use their phone to quickly scan, download and decipher a lot of content into their mobile phones.

So whereas this technology allows for easy web–>mobile phone porting, Zapcode allows for physical–>electronic.

I see the value in BeamMe.Info, don’t get me wrong, but for me the real pain is where I’m in a situation where I *can’t* write something down, such as when I’m out and about in real life. Will be interesting to see if BeamMe.Info ventures into this physicla–>electronic territory. Surely someone is going to….

Nice service and great interface…but I don’t really understand why should a publisher implement the “button”?….they will sell adds based on the publishers content page.

There is a similar service – http://www.Moblin.com They transfer all content types: Image, Video, Text to any personal hand set WW and they actually generate real revenues to the publisher since the content is being sold for a premium price to the end user. As much as I know, Moblin give around 20%-30% revenue share to the publisher. ( I think premium prices are between 2$-3$, not sure…).
As a publisher…going to try them both. BeamMe for the textual content and Moblin for the images.
Moblin’s image sending tool includes cute features that let the user’s personalize the wanted image by giving them a cool Cropping & Designing feature.

I’m just excited for all the telemarketing once they sell my number.

i like that it is free for the end user. most services expect you to pay around 55C to get the info.

i think this will could come in handy next time i go house hunting

You can do the same thing for free and without ads by simply emailing a short message to the phone. Most phones have an email address (usually @.com) that you just email to for free and without ads.

Now I wonder how many millions of dollars of funding this website has raised.

reminds me of a service called “pocket this” from years ago.
