Extreme sports mobile TV company Yamgo announced a partnership with software development company Tom Horn to enable Yamgo to launch a global cross-platform mobile video sharing service and the free mobile TV network. The new service enables Yamgo users to create their own mobile video pages, upload and share videos from their handsets or via the www.yamgo.tv website. In addition to free, ad-supported and user generated videos, Yamgo will also offer a premium content, featuring live broadcasts, mobisodes and downloads, distributed on a time-based subscription, pay-per-view, or pay-per-download basis. Yamgo has been tested in 25 countries, and is currently available in English, Slovak, and Czech languages.
“Yamgo.tv is initially focused on extreme sports content, due to Yamgo’s extensive catalogue of high-quality extreme sports content covering 26 extreme sports and exclusive world-first stunts, but also because extreme sports videos appeal to a global audience, cross language and cultural barriers and the short, sharp burst nature of the videos makes them an ideal category for mobile video consumption. Users can upload any genre of content and the selection of mobile TV channels will be broadened into complementary categories” stated Yamgo Operations Director Shaun Ellison.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
