vTap – Web videos at your fingertips

24 August, 2007 Posted by As iPhone,Mobile Phone,Multimedia,News (1) Comment

There are hundreds of millions of videos available on the Web today, and millions more are added every week. But try searching, browsing or viewing them on your TV, your mobile, or even your brand new iPhone™. It’s frustrating, if not impossible, simply because most Web video services are desktop based and not designed for the mobile or TV user.

Imagine trying to search for Web videos of “Arnold Schwarzenegger” by using a typical phone keypad. That’s 40 key strokes – talk about a case of thumb fatigue! Now imagine trying to find all the Web videos of the press conference he did recently, as well as movie clips, TV appearances or even satires, as opposed to just text articles. This is the kind of challenge that Veveo solves with vTapâ„¢.

Today, only iPhone with its exclusivity with YouTube allows such experience but then user is limited to YouTube only. Soon with vTap, Youtube will also lose that exclusivity (as the same way with AT&T). iPhone users will be able to watch all available videos on the Web.

vTap requires user to install a small app layer that are currently available in Windows Mobile phone and Java capable phone. Since it’s not possible to download an application on the iPhone, Veveo will put together a special page that is optimized for it.
