In the October Issue of Fast Company, Robert Scoble says every newspaper should equip its reporters with phones that can broadcast live video to the web, using apps like Flixwagon to "stream compelling live events -- crime scenes, postgame locker-room
interviews, new-product introductions -- and package analysis on top of
it." We absolutely agree.

We're happy to announce the launch of Flixwagon Solutions for Mobile Carriers and Media Companies.
The scoop: our business solutions allow our clients to deploy live video broadcasting capabilities from mobile phones to the web and TV on a large scale, with customizable features, and extremely fast time-to-market. Mobile carriers can offer the service to their own subscribers to improve subscriber experience and generate additional revenue via service fees and data plans. Subscribers can then share live or stored videos directly from their mobile phones with their friends, family, and colleagues via any wesbite, blog, social network, video sharing site and more, and interact with their viewers through live 2-way chat. Media companies can create new cost-effective content offerings around live mobile video by allowing their reporters and entertainers to make live high-quality videos from anywhere in the world. These videos can be watched online and/or on TV, in combination with viewer participation (live chat, viewer submitted questions and requests, etc.). Also, the Flixwagon platform allows media companies to incorporate citizen journalism and user-generated content by supporting video feeds from up to hundreds of thousands of contributors. The web and TV experience is entirely customized to fit the media organization's existing properties. Feel free to check out our Viacom/MTV case study, which includes info on various projects we powered for MTV, including 'Coose or Lose' that featured an exclusive interview with VP Candidate Sarah Palin, and 'Jonas Brothers: Live & Mobile' that pulled over 6 Million video streams in just one weekend.

Following several successful projects with Flixwagon, MTV yesterday deployed a number of street reporters armed with Flixwagon-equipped mobile phones to cover the National Democratic Convention in Denver. A similar number of reporters will also be on the scene using Flixwagon at the upcoming Republican National Convention.
The street reporters are making live videos throughout the four days of the convention from their mobile phones directly to their pages on the MTV Think website, in another installment of MTV's Choose or Lose campaign. The street reporters can easily broadcast live video and capture the atmosphere of the conventions in real-time without the need for large camera crews or bulky equipment. The official release is here. Some of the videos and street reporters can be found here: http://think.mtv.com/profile/trevorFmartin http://think.mtv.com/profile/cgeraci25 http://think.mtv.com/profile/MiGoNev http://think.mtv.com/profile/janeflemingkleeb http://think.mtv.com/Issues/politics

Great news: Flixwagon is now available for iPhone 3G and for original iPhones running firmware 2.0.1!
After being first to broadcast from iPhones back in June, and first to launch our public iPhone app for 1.1.4 in July, we're now releasing our app for iPhone 3G and original iPhone 2.0.x. This means we now support all iPhone models and firmware! To install you'll need an 'opened' iPhone with either Cydia or Installer. Simply open Cydia or Installer, make sure all your versions and resources are up-to-date, and then install Flixwagon from the multimedia folder (under 'Sections' in Cydia, or 'Categories' in Installer 4. You can also find it under the iSpazio directory). Special thanks to Fabiano from iSpazio.net for all the great help with Cydia and Installer!  Flixwagon iPhone Broadcast Screen Advantages:
 Choose between sharper resolution or more frames per second
Edit video details and sharing preferences on the fly
If you're using iPhone 1.1.4 of older check out info for your phone. Please note, the iPhone apps (1.1.4 and 2.0.1) are both in Alpha, and are used primarily for us to learn and experiment more with the iPhone platform. Feel free to email us comments or feedback about the alpha app at feedback [at] flixwagon [dot] com. Once the iPhone SDK supports native video we expect to develop an app for the new official app store. We don't encourage 'opening' or 'jailbreaking' iPhones and users do so at their own risk.
36 hours, 600 clips, over 6 Million video streams, 60,000 hours of video viewed, 90,000 user comments, at least 2 clips per hour on air during commercial breaks on MTV over the weekend, three 30-minute compilations on TV -- shot entirely on mobile phones, over a dozen locations including backstage at Madison Square Garden, and 3 Jonas Brothers. These are some of the stats from MTV's Jonas Brothers event this past weekend using Flixwagon. We knew this was going to be our biggest event to-date, but it surpassed even our wildest expectations. For example, according to MTV, the latest season finale of reality show The Hills got 5 Million video streams during its first 3 days. The Jonas Bros event pulled in more traffic in a much shorter period of time, and consisted of live videos made via mobile phones -- making this the biggest live mobile video event in the world to-date that we know of. The official press release is here.
As mentioned last week, we provided MTV with the Flixwagon platform to cover the Jonas Brothers tour of their new album “A Little Bit Longer”. Throughout the 36-hour event, a number of MTV bloggers and reporters made live videos directly to the MTV site and TV studio using mobile phones running the Flixwagon application. The videos showed the Jonas Brothers as they traveled and prepared for their concerts and even showed some candid moments like the brothers reacting emotionally to some items on the news. Even the brothers themselves carried one of the phones and made several live videos throughout the event.

All the videos are available exclusively on the MTV site here: http://jonasbros.mtv.com.
Some very exciting news today: for the first time in a music event of such a
scale, MTV will use Flixwagon to broadcast live video feeds from
numerous mobile phones to the web and TV from the Jonas Brothers tour
of their new album this weekend. This is great news, not
only because it's the biggest event by a band of this level of fame to
receive continuous live mobile video coverage of their tour on and off
stage, but also because we're expecting our highest-ever traffic of any
single event to-date!
 Jonas Brother in Concert (Source: Official Jonas Brothers Flickr) During the event, a number of MTV bloggers/reporters will broadcast live videos from their 3G mobile phones to the MTV website and TV channel using Flixwagon while they tour with the tween sensations. The videos will give a personal peak behind the scenes of the Jonas Brothers in real time as they travel and get ready for their shows in Jones Beach and Madison Square Garden. The best Flixwagon clips will also be broadcast on MTV's TV channel during commercial breaks, as well as during two special 30-minute compilation programs. Also, viewers on MTV.com will be able to comment on videos and chat with the bloggers and other viewers.  We've been providing MTV with live mobile broadcasting solutions for some time, for example with their live citizen journalist coverage of the Super Tuesday Primaries, but this one should be a record breaker for us in terms of number of videos, viewers, and general fun to be had. Coverage on both MTV and MTV.com will start on Friday, August 8th 2008 at 4pm ET/PT and run through Saturday August 9th at 10pm ET/PT. Feel free to check out all videos on http://jonasbros.mtv.com. MTV will also show select clips during commercial breaks on MTV Friday and Saturday, and on two compilation shows on Saturday August 9th at 2pm and 10pm. The MTV bloggers will be carrying mobile phones with the Flixwagon application that allows them to broadcast live video with one click to the web and TV studio (without any bulky equipment or cumbersome file transfers). The entire mobile broadcast is powered by the Flixwagon platform. Hope you get a chance to watch the live broadcasts, and feel free to give us your feedback or contact us with any questions.
