QuickPlay Media has launched a free video streaming service for BlackBerry Pearl users in the US and Canada.
It features a variety entertainment content, including music videos, comedy, horoscopes and extreme sports. The service is live on networks that support EVDO, such as Sprint Nextel, Bell Mobility, Telus Mobility and Alltel Wireless. Customers can visit www.videostreamsmobile.com using the BlackBerry browser to download the app over the air.
QuickPlay currently offers streaming audio services for BlackBerry and a white label video streaming solution for operators. It plans to roll out the Blackberry video service to more regions shortly.
"BlackBerry smartphones are attracting a wider range of mobile customers who want to use more personal applications and entertainment services," said Jeff McDowell, VO of global alliances at RIM. "In turn, this trend is attracting a new class of developer partners, like QuickPlay, who are creating consumer and lifestyle applications that deliver new experiences for BlackBerry smartphone users."
