Well isn't this cool! It's nice to see a major studio investing some effort into the PDA market. Now I wonder what it will take for them to deliver entire episodes...
"For the first time, a major television network can easily deliver video directly to millions of mobile users around the world via their PDAs. Fans of NBC entertainment programs can now catch a glimpse of new fall shows on their handheld computers - anywhere, anytime. NBC has teamed with Mazingo Network to deliver video clips from each of NBC's new comedy and drama programs...video segments from the following programs on five new NBC channels:
• "In-Laws" (Tuesdays, 8-8:30 p.m. ET), a comedy starring Dennis Farina and Jean Smart
• "Hidden Hills" (Tuesdays, 9:30-10 p.m. ET), a comedy which focuses on the lives of frenzied families living in the suburbs;
• "Good Morning Miami" (Thursdays, 9:30-10 p.m. ET), a comedy from the
Emmy-winning creators of NBC's "Will & Grace"
• "American Dreams" (Sundays, 8-9 p.m. ET), a family drama set against the backdrop of 1960s Philadelphia when "American Bandstand" was at the height of pop culture
• "Boomtown" (Sundays, 10-11 p.m. ET), from executive producers Graham Yost ("Speed") and Jon Avnet ("Fried Green Tomatoes").
