MobiTV for Pocket PC – American TV on your mobile
Streaming live television on mobiles has come a long way in the last few years. And now MobiTV promises a completely new experience. And yes it is very good. The main thing is the quality of the picture and the amount of content available. You can flick between live breaking news (ABC, NBC, Fox), sports channels, music channels, lifestyle channels, cartoons, it’s all here. MobiTV’s high quality streaming plus channel guide at the bottom of the screen make it so easy to switch between stations. Plus the mini-guide lets you see what else is on while you’re watching a programme.
On my trial the live streaming kept breaking-up. The quality was fantastic when it worked but often the picture froze. Similarly when changing channels the content took some time to arrive. MobiTV does strongly recommend that you have an unlimited data plan with your carrier, which might not be possible for all users. There’s really great potential here and I was delighted with the service. When it worked!
