The streaming video and audio offering is provided on a multimedia handset from Samsung Latest News about Samsung, enabling users to watch news clips, movie previews and other popular content. Samsung's MM-A700 can deliver video at 15 frames per second (fps), and has advanced audio coding (AAC) for improved sound quality. This content, decompressed and played on the embedded media player, is delivered to the handset via the high-speed (CDMA1X) Vision network, rather then being downloaded. Customers can access streaming audio and video content from CNN, NBC, FOX Sports, The Weather Channel, E! Entertainment, mFlix, Twentieth Century Fox, AccuWeather and 1KTV

The stats of the stream happen to match the capabilities of the 3GPP format. This is a case of the phones catching up with the networks as the networks have been capable of these speeds for a while now. For anyone who has tried mobile video off of a memory card or internal memory, they know that the experience is pleasantly surprising and captivating. A 128meg memory card can hold a couple of hours of very good quality video the phones can display. Streaming takes this to the next level. Just wait for a pay-per-view or monthly service, like Real Networks has with Starz!, to watch movies.

But where is Verizon's TV? They have two phones that are equally capable of doing such a service.
