PocketPC Media: Streaming Media for Your Pocket PC
"This is a pocketpc friendly website, where you can watch daily updated news videos. Visitors can also enjoy the latest movie trailers, videos of PPC games, music videos and short movies, including an exclusive Stephen King section".
At first glance, this seemed like a pretty cool site. Then I KNEW it was a cool site when I saw that they had a video entitled "LEGO Chainsaw Massacre: It's a real scream when a legendary horror film is re-created with a cast of LEGOs. Will Leatherface become Plasticface?" :mrgreen: While the short movies are a much appreciated bonus, it's the news that gets top billing. I counted 10 fairly current video news stories, and quite a few tech, entertainment and business stories as well.
There are also quite a few music videos, including the LEGO-themed "Fell in Love With A Girl" video by the White Stripes (in the Rock section). High and low quality versions of each stream are available, and there is a short 9 second commercial at the beginning of all the videos I watched. If you need your video in Real format for some reason, PocketPC Media is able to oblige you, and there's also a huge selection of streaming radio from the Netherlands, Belgium, UK and US as well. Check it out!

I am alarmed that the Decapitation of an American (uncensored) video is classed as a short movie. I could imagine warez or personal sites hosting this but not a company that wanted serious business.

Also alarmed me as well. Don't know what they were thinking on this...

going back on topic...
This site can be a sure winner... It would be nice if there is an option to upload our own videos (subject to screening/censorship) to ensure firendly content...
But I'm sure this will be a good portal for something as shallow as funniest home videos to instructional content.
Who knows, maybe Pocekt PC sites like Pocket PC Thoughts, PPCW.Net, MoDaCo, BostonPocketPC and all the rest can send out video clips of their meetings...
Just an idea...
Mabuhay! ~ Carlo

If you pay for GPRS usage on a per kb basis, wouldn't this be horribly expensive, unless you had an unlimited data plan?
