Blueapple.mobi<\/a>: The latest in a seemingly unending supply of new mobile video sites, this one is a video search engine. There is no indication of what sites are searched or the source of individual videos but whatever the source is, it’s pretty extensive. The search was able to find videos on almost any query I tried including music videos, tv shows and sports. The files are in .176×144, H263, AMR, 3gp, encoded which yields the lowest bandwidth\/smallest size of the current mobile video formats. Long videos are split into 500KB, 1 minute segments to further reduce bandwidth.<\/p>\n
