Short Films For The Small Screen
"For the first time, movie fans can watch short films and animation automatically delivered in high quality video to their Pocket PC, Palm or Zaurus handheld devices.
"Several major content providers have inked deals with Mazingo Network to deliver short films and animations through Mazingo�s exclusive �sync and go� Mobile Entertainment Network�. The 70 titles available today are distributed by Warner Brothers Online, Hypnotic and ReelMind at www.mazingo.net."
The categories of films available through this service include action, animation, comedy, documentary, drama, experimental and thriller. They're from 8 to 15 minutes long, and even include such old favorites as Bugs Bunny, Daffy, Tweety, Sylvestor and Taz!
Of course, these latest additions are only a part of what's available from the Mazingo Digital Video Package. If you have ANY downtime during the day that you'd like to fill watching videos, give this service a try! The flexible pricing packages make it very affordable.

I used Mazingo for a year (paid subscription) and was very disappointed in their content and software reliability. Not worth it.

I wish every post advertising a commercial product or service would have the price listed in big bold font somewhere in the first paragraph.
Pick a payment plan:
$94.95/year prepaid (less than $8/month for a Limited Time Only!)
$14.95/month (month to month)
$6.95 - 24 Hour Day Pass (One Time Charge, No Re-Bills!)
I'm not saying I have a problem with the price. I just wish it was listed in the post.

Divide the price by three and make sure the application is stable and syncs quickly, then I might be interested. I used the free textservice for a while but I got tired of the many problems and extremely slow syncing.

Installing Mazingo is not worth the effort, read the support forums...they aren't maintaned by staff, support level is nil and the content switches every month, sometimes they seem to have great stuff and the next month you can only download crappy content.
For me, ripping a dvd, using vdub to convert it to divx for your ipaq, still is the best tool for mobile viewing (and legal, if you own the dvd).
For text syncing, I recently converted to iSilo, I just love their program
