[IGDA Mobile-SIG List] Video Streaming?

[Burak Bayburtlu]

Hello Jorge,

If I were you, I would start with kyte.tv's mobile client, written in J2ME,
displaying full motion video with buffering. It works pretty good on my
Nokia N93 over WiFi. I know, it might sound like a mobile-monster in case of
available RAM and data speeds but I think you can try it on a low end S40
handset and see if they've made it or not.

Cheers,
