FILM-TV.COM: (www.film-tv.com/english.html) A specialty mobile portal featuring a comprehensive set of links to mobile movie and tv sites. The fluid, table based design looks good on all sizes of mobile screens. Not so good is that here are too many links on the front page for good usability.
Entertainment/Mobile Video
