See into S60

February 16, 2006 Favorite TV shows on your S60 Posted by Phil Schwarzmann at 11:40 PM | Categories: Commentary

We all know that S60 is very capable of displaying high-quality movies, TV shows, and any other video. Its native Real Player can show a variety of popular formats and with the help of a powerful app called "SmartMovie" from Lonely Cat Games, you can expand your viewing capabilities to include the XViD codec (my favorite video codec).

Some of you might be familiar with iPod's new online video store - for just $2 (.U.S.) you can download a high-quality iPod compatible version of your favorite TV shows. Sony's PSP device now offers full length movies sold in shops on compatible discs similar to DVDs. So I'm thinking to myself...S60 needs to get in on this action!!

Of course, what's the difference between S60 devices and an iPod or PSP? The size of the disk. iPods can hold up to 60 GB, PSP's UMD discs can hold 1.8 GB. But the typical S60 user might only have 64MB available on their devices, not enough space to hold lengthy, high-resolution video. But this will soon change, the new Nokia N91 sports a 4GB hard drive and *that* gets me excited about the possibilities of video. And you know darn well we'll be seeing a lot more large hard disks in S60 devices in the near future. How soon before we're *all* carrying hard drives in our pockets?

Within a few short years, we'll be downloading full-length movies over the airwaves with our S60 devices - connecting our smartphones to our PCs with a cable will be a thing of the past (and already is for some). You'll be on the bus heading to work and have the urge to watch an episode of "The Simpsons", you'll whip out your smartphone and within seconds you'll be watching it. But let's be honest, these fast 3G connections are expensive. Unless you have a company like me who'll foot the bill for your mobile activities, the average person can't afford to be downloading videos over 3G all the time. Until it becomes more affordable, connecting your phone to your PC is the ideal way, and let's hope S60 integrates video this way real soon.
