Oddcast Announces Talking Avatars For Mobile Apps

Oddcast has released a range of Flash-based avatars for mobile phones. “The new mobile applications feature talking Avatars that deliver character-based text messaging, weather and other news, on-demand mobile customer service, singing ring tones, mobile-based rich media advertising, mobile educational tools and other messaging solutions. Oddcast is also working with Itochu Corporation to develop VHost mobile applications throughout Asia.”

The idea appears to have the avatars present the information from the content providers, which could reduce the amount of data that needs to be sent and make the service cheaper while still giving a “face” to the information.
