I haven't gotten the opportunity to use MobiTV on a high-frame rate device, but on the standard phones e.g. v400, v180, etc. I think its a big waste of money. You pay 9.99 a month, plus data transfer, and I just think it isn't worth it. The sound quality was o.k. but the picture was operating at about 1 frame every 2 or 3 seconds (v180,v400)
Of course we can all agree it is a great jump in mobile technology, but is it even necessary? Sure a 20 second clip of the weather or news could be beneficial, but at this time and this price it might not be worth it.
I would love to see the clarity on some larger screen smartphones as a comparison. What are the future plans for MobiTV, faster speeds? Longer clips? And I thought being able to post a message on my PDA was ground breaking - what will they think of next?
Is this just a fad or a change in mobile usage? I bet we will see in the coming months if MobiTV is here to stay.
I use the 6620 and when I have a good EDGE connection, it works pretty good. Looks like streaming video on any internet source. The problem is usualy network load slowing the stream down and making you wait on the buffer.
