Veveo™ Inc., has announced an “extraordinary” new web video experience for Sony Ericsson Mobile phone owners. Through the SE video-enabled mobile/web portal, customers will have access to over 150m (!) web videos via vtap – which is an apparently unique mobile web video service. vtap allows rapid search and viewing of web videos from sites such as YouTube™, DailyMotion™, and MySpace™ – all using their existing data services.
The intelligence of the vtap solution starts checking videos on input of the first character of text string in to the search area, making results quicker to appear. There is also grouping of video results together in to folders, allowing dynamic menus of results to be generated.
vtap also maintains an indes of more than 150m web videos which are constantly updated – having set up a profile you can collect, organise, and share video as you like.
vtap has been optimised for a selection of Sony Ericsson’s handsets:
The service is available immediately for Sony Ericsson Java Platform 8 (JP8) enabled handsets models: Z770i, K850i, W910i, K660i, W890i, Z750i and Sony Ericsson’s JP7 models: W880i, K810i, T650i, K530i, W580i, K770i, W660i. The service will support English, French, Italian, German and Spanish languages.
Comment: Hmmm, interesting – it will be great to hear feedback from any IntoMobile readers that have one of the above handsets, and happen to try it. My personal experience of working with Mobile Video is that converting (or “transcoding” as we like to say) it can be extremely challenging, especially from some of the more advanced web video formats….
