Livestation, weComm team-up

Interactive mobile data solutions provider (whatever that means), weComm, has announced its partnership with Livestation to deliver live TV news across mobile platforms, Android and Blackberry devices included.

Livestation already delivers live TV streaming services on iPhone for such media companies as BBC World News and Al Jazeera. weComm, on its end, will provide its On-Demand Mobile Application Platform to enable Livestation to deliver live broadcasts from Livestation’s global news TV partners to other mobile operating systems — note here that Symbian and Windows Mobile are not mentioned in the press release.

The companies will distribute the service in a number of easy-to-subscribe methods including through the major mobile handset-manufacturers’ application stores…

Rest of the press release includes quotes from the companies’ executives which we won’t repeat here. You can check LiveStation’s and weComm’s websites for more information.

About The Author

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. 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.
