Verizon launch Car & Driver SlideShow: $4.49 for photos of cars
Like cars? Like pictures of cars? Well you'll be excited to hear that Verizon are introducing Car and Driver SlideShow as their first interactive SlideShow product for cellphones. By interactive they seem to mean "forwards, backwards as far as I can tell, the SlideShow is just a series of around 100 car photos, refreshed twice a week, and separated into categories like "concept cars", "hot cars" and "luxury cars", for which Verizon will charge you $4.49 a month.
Each category consists of ten images which you can scroll through, and if you really like a particular photo you can rate or save it. It's been produced by Viva Vision who, according to Verizon VP of digital programming Ryan Hughes, are "taking still images to the next level."
Available on fifty Verizon handsets, the new SlideShow app comes under 'Pictures' in the Get It Now virtual store. Perhaps I'm missing something, but this really doesn't seem all that impressive.
