Youtube wireless

In a proposed deal with Verizon wireless the ability to bring new fresh content to users cell phone is getting some attention. The fight to gain new customer in the cell phone market is fierce. Just this past weekend I saw an ad for a free Motorola Razr Phone, plus $200 back to be used in store for your purchases. With this new deal, subscribers of Verizons V Cast service will be able to view YouTube videos that have been selected by Verizon.

This helps Verizon in the lure of content for it’s customers and increases the customer base for YouTube. This agreement will allow Verizon to be the only mobile phone company to carry distribute YouTube videos for a limited time. While I have not seen the videos on a phone, I can imagine there may need to be some work done as the videos are generally not high in quality. Taking into account that you will now be viewing those on a small 2 inch screen, will be interesting to watch. I guess you don’t need high quality when you are watching a shrimp run on a treadmill.

I believe that with this new partnership, others will blossom. The one company that will allow their customers to use their phones video capacity, and be able to upload videos to YouTube or other video sharing services will be a huge winner. I am sure the technology exists, it is just matter of having the right phone, and the right provider. Building communities one thought at a time

Many of us taken on the challenge of Ready to assemble (RTA) furniture. While most usually come with easy to follow instructions some furniture, especially those at Ikea will only offer pictures. Which for some may be helpful, but having text does help. It is usually pretty easy to assemble and gives you the look you want for less. Studio RTA furniture offers everything from entertainment stands to computer desks.
