PocketPC Media: Streaming Media for Your Pocket PC
Posted by Pat Logsdon in "CONTENT" @ 08:00 PM
"This is a pocketpc friendly website, where you can watch daily updated news videos. Visitors can also enjoy the latest movie trailers, videos of PPC games, music videos and short movies, including an exclusive Stephen King section".
At first glance, this seemed like a pretty cool site. Then I KNEW it was a cool site when I saw that they had a video entitled "LEGO Chainsaw Massacre: It's a real scream when a legendary horror film is re-created with a cast of LEGOs. Will Leatherface become Plasticface?" :mrgreen: While the short movies are a much appreciated bonus, it's the news that gets top billing. I counted 10 fairly current video news stories, and quite a few tech, entertainment and business stories as well.
There are also quite a few music videos, including the LEGO-themed "Fell in Love With A Girl" video by the White Stripes (in the Rock section). High and low quality versions of each stream are available, and there is a short 9 second commercial at the beginning of all the videos I watched. If you need your video in Real format for some reason, PocketPC Media is able to oblige you, and there's also a huge selection of streaming radio from the Netherlands, Belgium, UK and US as well. Check it out!
