Mobile Phone Films vs HD

While home entertainment vendors and Hollywood studios are scrambling for us to embrace High-Definition programs with new TVs and DVD players, the cell phone networks and cell manufacturers are betting on mobile video programming.

ABC News, reports that "There are an estimated 2 billion mobile phone subscribers worldwide and 194.5 million in the United States, according to the Washington, D.C.-based CTIA The Wireless Association."

I get it. The potential audience is astounding. Jury's out on the adoption rate of mobile video, but if video iPod sales are any indicator and Verizon's investment in its mobile Video service VCast, mobile media is here to stay.
