V-Cast @07:25 AM
according to this press release by microsoft, gates and co. are teaming up with verizon, offering windows media as a format for verizon's upcoming V CAST service, which enables high quality streaming and playback of audio and video on new mobile handsets.
don't care much that verizon decided on windows media. It's a decent enough format even though I hate microsoft. Cool to see streaming content coming to phones though. I wonder if there is some type of API for this that people can get their hands on. Would have been nice to use mobile handsets for my thesis. But alas, we're not quite ready for that yet. 2-3 years minimum. And we all need to get new phones.
the thing that sucks is that verizon is still offering this content though the pathetic "get it now" service, which is basically their own closed little internet...
