SPB TV<\/em><\/strong> tv.spb.com\/web\/<\/a> SPB TV, the popular free streaming TV app for iPhone, Android, Symbian, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and WebOS now has a mobile web version. It should work on most smartphones that support Javascript, RTSP and 2320×240 mpeg4 videos. The site and videos worked well on an HTC Magic Android phone and a Samsung Wave Bada device. The site also looked good and the navigation was faultless on my Nokia N95 but only the audio portion of the videos would play. SPB TV offers 150 free TV channels from 20 countries including the the English editions of France TV, AFP News and China’s CCTV plus Bloomberg and dozens of local US TV stations. The site features an attractive carousel style channel switcher and an integrated program guide. Source<\/span>: Intomobile<\/a>

Reference<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Encyclopedia Britannica<\/em><\/strong> m.eb.com<\/a> Not to be outdone by WikiPedia, the venerable Encyclopedia Britannica now has a mobile site. The search works well and the well written articles cover topics in considerable depth and are nicely organized for mobile with navigational links to sections of the longer articles.Content seems a little on the thin side though. I couldn’t find many of the topics I searched for including “Nokia”, “nonogram” and “PHP”, all of which have extensive entries in Wikipedia. Pehaps the worst thing about Britannica’ site it that it doesn’t recognize Opera Mini has a mobile browser and blocks it from accessing the site! Source Taptu Touch Web Report<\/a> (PDF).
