Comeks.com - Mobile Comics

Comeks is a charming new app that merges mobile messaging with microblogging with images to create little mobile comics. It’s an innovative idea that came from a group of Finns in Helsinki. Comeks allows for visual mobile communication. It’s simple to use. Just download the application. There are two choices here: Comeks Shorts, an app for visual SMS, or the Comeks Application, which is the full on comics creator. Both work for most Sony Ericsson and Nokia models. The idea is to use pictures you take from your camera phone. Once you’ve got a picture, you can add speech bubbles, stickers, which are cartoon characters, sound effects and other comic features to make your strip. It can be saved as a Comeks file or JPEG and then sent as MMS, email or uploaded to the Comeks website. Sign up to get a free profile.

“Comeks Application can be userd to create comic strips quickly using mobile phone. Created comics can be either saved, sent to your friends via MMS, e-mail or shared in www.comeks.com and in other social networks.”

Comeks is a fun new way to communicate. It’s creative and gives you a chance to express yourself. It also encourages impromptu photos. It’s like Twitter but comic style.

Why not make it available for other phone models like the iPhone? Will its lack of compatibility with the majority of phones be a deterrent? Will it catch on stateside?
