Japan-based Studio Ousia Finally Launches Phroni
Fresh of its recent 70 million yen (about $864,000) funding round, Japan-based Studio Ousia Inc. – the developer of a ‘smarter’ smartphones/tablet browsing experience – has released its product to the public [1]. For those who haven’t heard Phroni’s pitch yet, the service underlines key words or phrases in your mobile browser and allows you to click through and find further information about them (via Wikipedia, YouTube, Twitter, Google, etc).
Currently Android smartphone users can install Phroni as an add-on for Firefox, but the company intends to provide an API soon that will allow other app vendors to integrate Phroni phunctionality into their apps. I took Phroni for a quick text drive this evening. The installation is straight-forward, and perhaps my biggest hiccup was adjusting to the Firefox mobile browser. But the Phroni links showed up clearly, and I was pleasantly surprised that they were not as intrusive as I expected they might be.
I was a little surprised that if a notable word occurred more than once in an article, then each instance of that article is linked. I think that this might be unnecessary in short form articles like blog posts, although it might come in handy when reading very long documents on the web. Personally speaking, I don’t find research as much of a problem when reading as much as when I’m writing. And I would really love to see Phroni’s functionality built into some of my favorite writing applications, particularly Markdown writing apps [2].
For more information on Phroni, check out the demo video below:
1. I received the official word today, but I believe it was available on March 1st at Demo Asia 2012. ↩
2. Writing Kit for iPad has a Quick Research feature that might benefit from this sort of function, to allow for slightly easier searching.

日本のStudio Ousia、ついに「Phoroni」をローンチ
7000万円（約864,000万ドル）の第三者割当増資を実施したばかりの日本のStudio Ousia（スマートフォン／タブレット用の「より賢い」ブラウジング技術のデベロッパー）が、同社の商品を一般にリリースした[1]。「Phroni（フローニ）」のプレゼンを聞いたことのない人のために説明すると、同サービスはモバイルブラウザーでキーワードやフレーズにアンダーラインを引いてくれ、それをクリックすると（ウィキペディア、YouTubeやGoogleなどを通じて）更なる情報が得ることができるというもの。

今日、夜に「Phroni」をちょっと試してみた。インストールは簡単だ。私が一番苦労したのはおそらくFirefoxのモバイルブラウザーに調整することだったろう。だが、「Phroni」リンクは明確に表示され、思っていたほどうっとおしいという感じではなかったので良かったと思う。
少し驚いたのは、ある記事の中である注目すべき単語が１度以上でてくると、その記事の各例がリンクされることだ。ブログのような短い記事には必要ないかもしれないが、ウェブでかなり長い文章を読む時には便利かもしれない。

個人的な意見としては、私が書いている時と同じくらい読んでいる時は、調べることはあまり問題ではない。だから、「Phroni」の機能性が私の好きな幾つかのライティングアプリ（特に「Markdown」）に搭載されたものをぜひ見てみたい。[2]
「Phroni」の更なる情報を知るには、下のデモビデオで。
1．正式発表を聞いたのは今日だが、3月1日の「Demo Aisa 2012」にはリリースされていたと思う。
2．「Writing Kit for iPad」には、この種の機能が楽しめる「クイックリサーチ」があり、わずかに楽な検索ができる。
