amen brother, this whole mobile thing is out of control, a quite note about streaming and more of the carriers graps, some of them even block tine RTSP protocol and port, making streaming outside of their own little pond impossible.
Tried talking to a carrier about your really cool product, been their down that , flew 1/2 across the world to do it, didn't work out, you cant get in.
I do believe at some point mobile will catch on, the iPhone might work if you can carry a charger ever where you go.
Hey guys don't get me wrong im a total tech buff, i have my hands in any sort of new tech coming out, I was just at the web 2.0 conf and guess what nobody was talking about mobile.
and your point is completely right about joe schmo not knowing how to use their handset, also note that while a phone can or may download a clip which is usually limited to 500k or even less, that also doesn't mean their phone can stream. Talk about nightmares with support.
Sure "some" people are making money but if you really get a honest opinion of them and not their company media training talk you will know the truth, the people making the most money are the ones selling the tech to you.
I still play around with mobile and have been since 2001 but am i counting to make thousands of millions hell no.. I'm more focused now on getting that surfer over to my site to pay me $30 instead of .86 cents.
