PDA Phone Example 11 – Streaming Video Player

The cell phone companies want to nickel and dime us for everything, and now they are hoping we’ll pay an extra $20/month for streaming TV video. Another choice would be to put the $20/month into a data plan, and purchase a slingbox. For those who don’t know, a slingbox lets a user stream video over the internet from a cable box, DVR, or any video source. Slingboxe’s Mobile software can be installed on a PDA phone, where the user can change channels and watch live TV.

There are other ways to watch streaming video on your PDA phone. One way is through youtube, which has launched a mobile version of there website at m.youtube.com. Another way is through a free program called ORB, that lets users stream audio, video, or data files over the internet to any computer or PDA phone.
