Nico Nico Douga finally launches iPhone app
Given the fact that Nico Nico Douga is considered to be Japanese YouTube, it took awfully long time for them to release iPhone application. What is interesting is that iPhone is not even the first device to be optimized for Nico Nico Douga Mobile experience. Users of various models from DoCoMo, au and Softbank had the opportunity to watch videos and leave comments for some time. Actually, the mobile service accounts for about 3.2 million users. Now, when it is iPhone's turn to foray into Japan video sharing marketplace via Nico Nico Douga Mobile, users have a broad set of functions embedded into iPhone app, including the ability to leave comments, search, rank and tag videos. And yeah, it's free. Just type Dwango in iPhone App Store search to find it.

Searching for "dwango" in the North American app store only brings up a "trace game", which is not the Nico Nico Douga app. To get the Nico Nico Douga app you have to have a Japanese iTunes account. I've made a step by step guide to getting both a Japanese iTunes account and downloading the Nico Nico Douga app if anyone is interested: http://blog.warll.com/2009/how-to-download-the-nico-nico-iphone-application-outside-japan-for-free/
