news: December 2007 Archives

Hooray! Another positive review of Flixwagon. This time SMS Text News, one of the leading UK based blogs covering mobile news has written the following:

 

 "Flixwagon’s edge seems to be much higher quality and the ability to upload to a blog. Flixwagon apparently will have a Java version, in addition to the Symbian client, and hopes to also support phone-to-phone video sharing. Personally, THAT will be cool to me."

Thanks Ricky!

A Double party for Flixwagon! Liz Gannes from NewTeeVee covered Flixwagon as well:

"If you’re going to bare your soul via a live video stream, what better way to do it than by using your ever-present cell phone to both shoot and send?
Flixwagon’s proposed offerings are similar to those of Qik, but include the promise of better picture quality and compatibility with a larger number of phones. Users will be able to stream live video from their cell phones to the web — and eventually, if all goes well, other cell phones. The company has developed versions for both Symbian and Java, but it really requires 3G to get it right."

Thanks Liz!

In case you missed the Flixwagon coverage at TechCrunch, Roi Carthy met the Flixwagon team and was very excited about our service:

"I had a chance to see FlixWagon in action on a few occasions and was impressed by video that came out on

the Web clearer than I expected. I also saw videos uploaded using the same mobile handset to both Qik and FlixWagon. Subjectively speaking, I felt that FlixWagon was superior. This was true both in video clarity and its ability to deal with movement—quality was degraded substantially on Qik when the handset was moved even slightly. FlixWagon is claiming that this is due to the emphasis it places on ensuring that a user never loses a second of broadcast, even in the most challenging conditions inherent to mobile environments. For example, if a user goes into an elevator, basement, or loses reception for any reason, the broadcast will resume when reception is back and the full video will be stored and available for later viewing."

Kudos! Thanks Roi :)
