Do Me London is an entertainment guide for your mobile phone. It’s recently launched a set of mobile guides for touring the city. You can request a tour via text message that’s sent to Do Me, and you’ll receive the tour guide mobile URL. Each tour guide offers a multimedia manner in which to enjoy the city, featuring both audio and video content. It will cost you between £1.00 and £1.50 for a tour guide, depending on the length of the tour.
There are plenty of user-generated sites out there that tap into their user base to collect content and offer it back up to you via mobile phones, including sites like Whrrl. And while these can be very helpful, Do Me has an advantage with its offering of premium content, and appeals to a wider range of mobile users, especially those that are less familiar with extensive mobile browsing.
Having mobile tours like those offered by Do Me London is a good inclusion for bundled packages, such as those found with GetMobio. EveryScape is another service that’s looking to create a fuller spectrum of city tours, but lacks the accessible mobile features. HP has also started an initiative for mobile experience of geographical locations with mscape, though this is an experiment for its own device and not integrated with regular mobile hand sets, so the direct mobile access of Do Me London is clearly an advantage for most people.
