m-Vision Video Content
Posted by Brad Adrian in "CONTENT" @ 01:00 AM
There's a new system for downloading video content onto your Pocket PC from Australia's m-Vision. It looks a lot like the more familiar Mazingo, but with a few twists.
"m-Vision is a subscription based service similar to Pay TV. You can download and install m-Vision from this web site via an "Active Sync" to your desktop PC. You can choose from a variety of different content channels including:
Music including new releases, top ten charts and dance.
12 Video Horoscopes, updated weekly
Movie Releases including cinema and home releases
TheBestMix featuring videos from TheBestMix Music Competition
Home Shopping (Australia Only)
International Business featuring market commentary
Australian Sports Scoreboard
International Sports including scoreboards and match highlights
Weather Reports both for Australia, Asia Regional and Worldwide
m-Vision tips of the week featuring tips on using your Pocket PC
Australian Business and Finance including Stock Picks and a Daily Market Outlook
Personally, I LOVE the idea of watching video content on my Pocket PC. I mean, I'll watch my own movie selections on long airline flights rather than the in-flight stuff. But, the only way a service like this or Mazingo will keep me interested is if the variety and number of content choices is large enough. There are a lot of other variables that influence this kind of service's success (file size, quality of viewer, etc.), but it's the variety of the content that makes it or breaks it.
What do you think? Do any of these services have the types of videos that keep you interested (and paying)?
