In their own words

“WaveM Live! keeps information-addicted and active adults engaged in dynamic and interactive activity on mobile service that is designed to rapidly serve constantly changing information including news, curious phenomena, useful help, lifestyle services and mobile entertainment. WaveM Live! is a new mode of communication between friends, subculture communities and content partners. The service is now available in Finland and is being rolled out globally with select partners.”

	Why it might be a killer

Finland is a great testing ground for mobile applications due to its small size and the fact that usage of mobile technology is very widespread. The service appears to be gaining popularity in Finland and it should stand a good chance of spreading through Europe rapidly. This rapid spread should be aided by built-in viral growth mechanisms like the ability for WaveM users to send messages freely between themselves.

	Some questions

This service is probably only going to appeal to users who have either a PDA or a similar device with a large screen size. Will WaveM be able to spread to the US or will it have to wait for the majority of Americans to switch to more advanced phones complete with larger screen sizes?
