Online to Mobile Video Sharing Services Reviewed

WSJ reporter Jessica Vascellaro does a good job of reviewing three news-ish online-to-mobile video sharing services: MyWaves, Cellfish and 3Guppies. These services work off-deck, going around the carrier restrictions and other on-deck exclusive deals that some other video services have. All of these allow users to view a wider array of Internet video clips—without locking themselves into a subscription and without purchasing a fancier phone. The video below explains it pretty well:

I agree that video on cellphones generally works…

I loaded and watched a handful of videos on my BlackBerry this week, including a conference speech on disruption, a few music videos and (allegedly a techie's holy grail) full-length TV shows.

But does it do a job?

Or put another way, does adding video to cellphones create any real business value or is it just a technology exercise in search of a customer need?

There are several questions suppliers of the technology can ask to try to turn this into a real business… with customers who value and pay for it… instead of another technology without a 'killer app' like the videophone.

The mywaves demo in the video looks very interesting. Mobile video looks poised to be the next big thing.
