Thursday June 21, 2007 Missing video codecs on your Java ME cell phone? No problem...
MyWaves.com uses the concept "The Network is the Computer" for mobile video watching. Hmmmm, where have I heard that phrase before? The server grabs videos off the Internet then converts the videos from all different types of codecs to a single proprietary protocol to view on a Java ME app on your cell phone. Nice way to get around the need to have all the codecs on the device itself. Must make Scott McNealy happy to hear that. :-) See: Watch YouTube videos of surfing dogs on Java ME Here's a quote: When it comes to Web video, marrying one's Web account to the phone experience seems to be critical in my early testing of the services. This week I discovered the very interesting MyWaves.com, which lets you subscribe to video channels (including almost any existing video podcast) for delivery on many mobile phones that can accept the Java app download. This is the closest thing to an iTunes podcast library I have seen for phones. Just what everyone wanted, I guess... ;-) At least the dog looks like he's having fun.
