ARComics to release graphic novels (a.k.a. comic books) on the PSP
I found this post on Handheld Learning today... -Auri
A press release came through to me regarding work by ARComics who have
spotted a market opportunity to exploit the Sony PSP's Flash capability
via it's Internet browser to deliver interactive graphic novels:
ARComics,
Inc. continues to retool their vision/version of what a digital comic
book could be with input from the visitors to the site. The site
currently has several short animated Macromedia Flash teasers available
(as well as artwork and information on various properties) that will
give you an idea of the type of content being developed. Be sure to
check out the latest release: THE FRONTEERS, to see the evolution of
the ARComics digital animated episode on the Sony PSP.
ARComics
sees the PSP screen size, Internet/network connectivity, commercial
success and target demographic as a perfect venue to bring an
entertaining means of reading to a new generation by blending
technology with art and storytelling.

Could this be another novel (no pun intended
) way of encouraging reading via handheld technology?
