What do all of these terms mean? Since Sept, after living in Vancouver, I have been taking public transit to work. In about 45 mins each way, I have been looking for way to best use of the time or enjoy my own time. Before I changed to my new 3G Pocketpc phone, I downloaded the music, video and podcast into the mini-SD card to listen which is not bad. However, sometime you have to remember and wait to copy to SD, so is not very much convenient. Lucky me, hee hee, I lost my cell phone; so you know, I upgraded to a pocketpc phone which runs on EVDO 3G cellular network. The speed is awesome and range 400-700 kbps. So, I thought how I can test the download speed is really good. The answer is streaming video, even streaming your favourite TV show from home. That why I purchase the slingbox which allows you to stream TV signal without hooking up to your home computer. You really can’t believe how great the streaming quality is. Now, I can watch TV anywhere (Placeshift), anytime (Timeshift) with my digitial video recorder at home. This week I like to listen podcast again, particular about technology and parenting and find out there is more podcast streaming service (mobilecast or cellcast). this means I can listen to show whenever I want and I don’t need to download before I start my trip everyday. This is very cool! I will tell you more about my mobilecast/cellcast experience later. Have a great mobile + casting day!
