Few days ago we talked about Orange France’s new iPhone app/service, designed to allows users to enjoy watching TV while on-the-go, and now we’ve heard Vodafone Portugal has a similar/same offering for its users.
Developed by WIT Software, the application called “Vodafone Mobile TV” is available as a free download for every iPhone ownin’ Vodafone Portugal customer and just like Orange’s solution, provides users with a selection of channels to choose from. Among the cool features of the app, we highlight the so called Fast Channel Switching, which allows users to zap TV channels in an easy, “similar to the real-life TV” way.
