Link: Piczo Finally Gets a Mobile Site
Piczo is the latest to turn to Intercasting Corp. for the development of a mobile network on its Anthem platform.

I wonder if the dire state of America’s mobile handset marketplace has anything to do with it? ‘Mobile’ generally means ‘text message’ or, if you’re feeling particularly sexy on a given day, it could also mean ‘text and mms’. But WAP? The experience is shit. Remember most of the teen population in the States is walking about with a piece-of-crap Motorola capable of displaying four lines of text on it’s screen at once.
