Press Release: TocMag is a website that allows both businesses and the general public to create mobile magazines and have them available for download. People can make multiple pages of text, images and video which other people can then download to their mobile phone. The magazines can be either public (available to anyone) or private (available to the authors friends). “It is the first time people can create their own meaningful content for their mobile phone and send it anywhere in the world. With our free to use system, there is no limit to how much text or how many pictures or video users can send, meaning that people will no longer be restricted by the limitations of SMS or MMS. Whether you want to send some video files to a friend for fun or run a world wide advertising campaign direct to mobile phones, tocmag provides the ability to reach phones in any country, at any time and as often as needed,” said Mike Frampton, Head of Technology at Tocmag.
The service is free both to make the magazines and to download them (except for data charges on the download, of course), and it’s a java app so it needs a java phone. Tocmag’s business model? I’m not sure, but I assume advertising will make it into the mix at some point.
