Bebo Mobile on the way at some point

Bebo Mobile Coming – Mashable! 

There’s long been talk of a mobile version of Bebo, the popular social network. Now it seems that Bebo Mobile is a step closer – mobile phone group O2 is in talks with the company, although discussions are still at the early stages.

Jeremy saw Pete’s note about Bebo and forwarded it over.

Bebo Mobile could be extremely powerful, but only if it’s designed from the ground up as something people would need to use on-the-go, rather than a bit-part add-on a la MySpace and Helio’s MySpaceified handsets.

There’s a huge difference between want and need in this context. A few hundred thousand people were converted to the Helio concept which very much looked like a standard handset with a MySpace java applet installed on it.

Clearly there’s quite a challenge if even 1 million MySpace users didn’t immediately adopt it.

So, it’d be interesting to see how Bebo would deploy it’s mobile services: Do what everyone else does? (Knock something up, stick it out, hope for the best) or sit back and carefully research and evaluate what exciting mobile services could be developed to make Bebo Mobile a critical requirement for a few million people.

Chances are you, like me, already have a Bebo account. If not, you can get one at www.bebo.com.
