The following is a description of upcoming Lost "mobisodes" (mobile
episodes), which fans can watch on their mobile video devices (cell
phones, iPods, etc.):

Hurley will find a video camera in the wreckage. He will use it to make
his own little videos, which fans can then watch on their mobile
devices. ABC negotiated with unions so the writers, directors, and
actors of the series can be involved. At this time, it's not yet clear
whether the Lost mobisodes will be ad supported, pay per download, pay
per view, or subscription based.

Here is a good discussion of the general business issues involved in
producing mobisodes:

[
If the plot of the Lost mobisodes has Hurley just sticking a video
camera in other castaways' faces and videotaping them walking around
cinema-verite, that could end up looking just like an episode of
Survivor. It could make Lost look like a reality show.

So, does that pretty much mean that the electicity outlets in Swan
Bunker will all be hunky dory come next season?

those camcorders use up :-)
