ComVu live streaming video with GPS location

http://www.comvu.com

This is a nice find, ComVu has been testing a beta version of a streaming video software that allows most Pocket PC/Smartphone users to record LIVE video for over-the-air streaming to other computer/mobile phone users. The user sets up an account with ComVu, (make sure you have an UNLIMITED data plan), download the ComVu Pocketcaster software to your mobile device, set up your bit rate speed and start a live broadcast. You can email users a link to your account and inform them when you are going live. You can also archive your live videos for replay at anytime. So far, it's a free account.

Also, the GPS location (where the user is recording) will be given to the end users who are watching the live video, and have IE 6.0 or higher.

Mike or Mal, can you upload this file to the Downloads section?

Cool find Blofeld...

Ok...I just signed up and tried this. And lo and behold...it works as advertised! I sent a feed to my wife at her office. There's about a 30 second delay on the feed but even with one bar on Sprint with my 700wx it worked good. You have to notify the end users via email about your webcast and that can be a bit slow to process too, but all-in-all very fun.
I'll keep playing with it for a bit.

The FAQ stated that the beta was supposed to end in 2006 so I don't know if this still the beta or not. Additionally, the trial account is only good for 30 days and allows approximately 2 hours of streaming at 64 kbps from mobile phones and 0.5 hours at 256 kbps from PCs.

late,
Coz
