Mobile Magazine In India

Indian company Coruscant Tec has signed up some english magazines to put onto mobile phones…

The content from, say, Man’s World, the metrosexual male magazine, is converted into ‘Mbooks’ that people can download through their mobile service providers. Coruscant’s other tie-up is with Rave magazine.

Here, consumers can download music related content, both Indian as well as western, so that a subscriber not only gets to listen to his favourite numbers, but also read, say, biographies or interviews of his favourite musicians.

Coruscant is in the process of digitizing the content and plans to make it available through aggregators like Rediff.com in 15 days times.
I’m not sure if this sort of thing will take off, but no-one is really sure what’s going to work in the mobile space so it’s good to try everything.
