KITA! NicoNicoDouga iPhone App Announced!
Written by Jeshii on 2008.10.30 – 13:48 -
Yomiuri/CNET Japan are reporting that Softbank customers on certain models will be able to use the mobile ニコニコ動画 (NicoNicoDouga) service starting on November 4th. The ニコニコニュース (NicoNicoNews) page didn’t say anything about the iPhone, but the CNET Japan article says this down at the bottom:
さらに、iPhone 3Gでもニコニコ動画を視聴できるように開発を進めていることも明らかになった。ニワンゴ代表取締役社長の杉本誠司氏は、具体的な時期や内容は語らなかったものの、「ニコニコ動画らしいものができるように開発を進めている」と述べている。
[My translation]
Additionally, it has been announced that development is progressing so that NicoNicoDouga can be viewed on iPhone 3G as well. Niwango’s representative director, Mr. Seiji Sugimoto, explained that while we cannot give specific details as to when and how this will happen, he did say that, “Development is progressing so that we can make something that is wholly like the NicoNicoDouga experience.”
Yes! But, no… development progresses, but it won’t be available on Nov. 4th. And there’s no guarantee that it will work on my old iPhone, or that it will even work in America. BUT, I still have hope that someday, I will be watching and commenting (yes, that is possible on mobile ニコニコ動画 as well) on videos anywhere I want!
