The first public version of our player for ARM PocketPC PDAs is available here. You can now stream video over GPRS to PDAs such as the O2 xda and Compaq iPAQ. Please mail us with your feedback, such as download datarates and experiences with other PocketPC PDAs. Many companies have attempted and failed to stream full screen, high frame rate video to mobile devices at low datarates. Our player works on today’s PDAs over today’s 2.5G networks at full screen and up to 25 frames per second, leaving MPEG-04 far behind and 3G still far off. Robert Smithson of Arete Research downloaded our player to his xda and e-mailed back: “Wow! It’s awesome”.
