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:
Mobango, based out of London, UK, is offering not only Online to Mobile video sharing, but ringtones, photos, software and tools sharing within the community. It has 1.5 million members worlwide and over 200k users from the US. Mobango is an off deck service availbale for free worldwide.
thanks!

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

Like Fabio said Mobango offers lots of cool things for mobile users. I found this really great review of Mobango. I am glad I read it before actually going to Mobango.
