Streaming Video From Your Mobile: When the Mobile Becomes a Television


Posted by admin on Mar 24, 2008


 Streaming video from your mobile almost feels like magic.  A video taken on your mobile phone appears, in real time, on the web and even allows users to interact with the mobile phone user through real-time chat functions. "It's immediate, it's there, and it's one click away," Flixwagon CEO Eran Hess told the BBC in a recent video interview. "It's very easy to do." 


MobileActive tested two streaming video applications, Qik and Flixwagon, to see how they measured up for use by nonprofits and advocacy organizations that want to document and feature video content in real time.
