[IGDA Mobile-SIG List] Video Streaming?

[Jorge Gonzalez Sanchez]

Hi William,

Yes, so far that's what we'll present. Some sort of crude slideshow, which
displays a number of JPGs per second, while a completely unrelated (though
synchronized) audio file runs on the background, bringing it all -somewhat-
to life. It's funny/sad some phones don't even like audio streams. It's so
1992!.

Thanks for the reply.

Jorge.
