Market News Video on the web is a great site for investors, particularly in U.S. and Canadian markets.  It hosts dozens of timely video reports including market summaries, company profiles, upgrades and downgrades. Videos are updated throughout the day. The videos average a minute in a half in length and are interesting and informative.

The mobile site, which is new, has most of the content of the desktop edition.  It is billed as supporting the iPhone and video capable BlackBerries.  It works well on the target devices. However the site's videos refused to play on either of the two other phones I tried, a Nokia N95 and a HTC Ion Android phone. The problem seems to be with the browser detection. BlackBerries get a page with links to streaming 176x144 mpeg4 videos.  The iPhone version has an embeded Quicktime player.  The problem is that the site seems to serve unrecognized handsets the iPhone page, which is unlikely to work on anything but an iPhone. If it were to default to the Blackberry format for everything BUT the iPhone, the videos would be playable on most video capable phones.
