You may remember that yesterday I made a couple of posts regarding Mobile Advertising – one of these was about Vodafone Italy and Amobee doing a deal – Amobee’s part of which is powered by QuickPlay Media.
Well, a nice lady from QuickPlay’s PR agency emailed me to let me know about a couple of other announcements that Quickplay have made recently – which I thought I would share with you all:
- The company recently announced FREE streaming video for Blackberry subscribers, lowering the price barrier for consumers looking to sample mobile content. It’s initially available for the 8130 handset, on EVDO networks in the USA. Eligible customers can visit www.videostreamsmobile.com to download the app and start streaming straight away
- The company recently introduced what will likely be a very provocative feature – the ability to pause, start and stop long form video, and also parse the video into smaller segments for easier “internet” like viewing. The service allows for subscribers to pick up where they left off in the viewing experience whether the battery died, the service went out, or they simply had to stop watching
If you want to check out the full press releases for each of these announcements, you can look here and here.

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
