Default MSNBC's Multimedia on Mobile

http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=3726

"MSNBC.com today launched its Multimedia on Mobile news product. Developed in partnership with Action Engine Corporation and uVuMobile, Multimedia on Mobile offers consumers a rich news and entertainment experience on mobile devices. After downloading the product to Windows Mobile smartphones, you can find and save your favorite video, photo and article - including NBC News video from "Today" and popular slideshows from MSNBC.com including "The Week in Pictures" - and easily share content directly through SMS and E-Mail."

Don't be confused by the terminology -- this is designed to work with Pocket PCs as well. To get it, simply go to http://gomobile.msnbc.com from your WM or desktop browser and follow the instructions. Update: If you want a more thorough walkthrough, check out Jason's CTIA post, and video on the subject:

I just tried this and it look pretty good. Don't be discouraged by the scant list of devices or the mention USA carriers, it seems to be capable of working on a much broader list of devices and networks. I have it running fine on my UT6700 running on the Telus network.

Pretty neat program, but does anyone know where the video files are cached to, if they are? Those would be some big files if they couldn't be cleaned out and the orogram doesn't appear to give a choice for storage location. Thanks for any thoughts.

Weird. That's one that is listed as supported, right?

Says my T-Mobile MDA is not supported, too, although it is listed as a supported device. Oh well.

All the data gets stored to the install folder. There should be a folder called resources in the install folder. All the data is in there.
