It’s the only mobile browser that lets you watch the Flash videos on almost any web site including, YouTube, Daily Motion, Vimeo, Veoh, … Continue reading →

MIR Reborn? The Really Mobile Project and Mobile Developer TV Launch

Posted on by

My favorite mobile blog for the last few years was SMS Text News (later renamed Mobile Industry Review, MIR for short) I thoroughly enjoyed Ewan MacLeod‘s brutally honest, scathing but hilarious put downs of  “rubbish, bullocks and fluking useless” mobile devices and services.  It got even better when Ewan added James Whatley, Ben Smith and  Dan Lane to the team and put them to work doing weekly long format video podcasts that were both entertaining and full of insights and … Continue reading →

Metro – User Generated Video Revenue Sharing

Posted on by

Metro a free print newspaper distributed on public transit systems in the UK.  In the nine years since its launch, Metro has become the fourth largest paper in the country with over a million daily readers.  Metro is also on the web at metro.co.uk and on the mobile web at metro.mobi.

MySpace Mobile Adds Video

Posted on by

I just saw this on VentureBeat. MySpace has added video to their mobile site, m.myspace.com. Thanks to MySpace’s original association with bands and music, it has tens of thousands of videos, especially music videos. It makes sense to make them available on mobile. I took a look at the mobile video offering and it is live and it works but it’s very limiting and not particularly user friendly. To watch MySpace videos on your phone you have to jump through … Continue reading →

Mobile Web Wars Video?

Posted on by

I’m traveling in the US Midwest so I missed last week’s TechCrunch/August Capital Mobile Web Wars roundtable. I’d like to watch the video of the event at Ustream.tv but I’m sans laptop on this trip. An N95-3 is my computer. The Ustream video is Flash so S60Webkit and Mobitubia should be able to display it, but they can’t. It must be in some sort of weird Flash variant. The Beta Skyfire browser actually starts to play the video but locks up about five minutes into the two … Continue reading →
