There's a new player in mobile video: it's Al-Qaeda.
The militant Islamic group has reportedly made available eight new videos from Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri that can be downloaded to phones. As-Sahab, the media production house of al-Qaeda, released them on Sunday. The idea is to circulate them via Bluetooth.
In a written message introducing the new videos, al-Zawahiri, the deputy leader of al-Qaeda, said: "I asked God for the men of jihadi media to spread the message of Islam and monotheism to the world and spread real awareness to the people of the nations."
It’s probably not what Nokia had in mind when it embedded RealPlayer in its smartphones.
