.mobi Personal mobilephone video broadcasting service launched

[eyedomainous]

Comcast.com made mobile history by being the first company to offer broadcast quality video broadcasting. A few days ago their "PocketCaster" went into Public Beta.

"PocketCaster allows users to transmit live video from the mobile phone that they always have with them. The video streams directly to ComVu media-servers, where it can be shared live or on-demand with viewers on PCs, Macs and mobile phones. When running on a Nokia N95 with built-in GPS receiver, PocketCaster automatically embeds geospatial coordinates within each frame of video, providing accurate dynamic mapping of transmission points during a broadcast.

PocketCaster eliminates the costs and time delays of uploading media through a PC or Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), uniquely addressing the need for immediacy, flexibility and affordability in mobile news gathering.

ComVu's PocketCaster now empowers you with automated geotagging, enabling you to easily add location data to your live video stream. If you want to tag your video with location information, the latest version of PocketCaster automatically embeds your handset's position into each frame of your video. You can also choose to share your location during live broadcasts from your mobile phone or device."​

Wow, this sounds really exciting. I wonder what it means for my Broadcaster.mobi. if another company wants to start a service like Pocketcaster, maybe they will place a bid.

By the way, here's some available mobis:

POCKETCASTS.MOBI
POCKETCASTERS.MOBI

Coolio. :tu:

As a Comcast subscriber ... and beyond Comcast simply owning the obvious ™ to secure their brand on the .MOBI, I would think it would be quite positive news for the extension to see a dedicated, developed, and fully functional Comcast.mobi website and experience, IMHO. :music:
For you folks on cells ... is there anything there, at least to perhaps check emails? :talk:

Thanks.

Nice! I'd like to rep you for it, but I've done that too much already! That fits right into mobi, plus a personal project I'm working on. Does anyone know drupal well?

Eyedomainos, why don't you start a RRS Feed by yourself?

You supplying great news for the .mobi crew and I would like to receive the latest automatically. I would even create MFeed.mobi for it with all the latest .mobi newsfeeds, etc.

Let me know!
