WeBot Adds Video Support, Delivers Complete Media Access for Mobile Devices at
CES
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- WeBot, a service that lets users play
personal media from their computers anywhere on the Internet, today announced
the addition of video to the service. The company launched its new
functionality on the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet at the Consumer Electronics
Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
"This release continues WeBot's vision of what we call Unlimited Media:
Any content, from anywhere, in any format, to any device," said David
Gottesman, WeBot's CEO. "The Nokia Internet Tablet is a great example of how
cutting-edge mobile technology and innovative services can work together to
deliver outstanding consumer experiences."
For the launch of the video functionality, WeBot created a custom-built
interface that showcases the Nokia Internet Tablet's advanced features. The
new video capabilities integrate with existing music, playlist, and photo
album support.
"There has been an explosion of personal content in the past three years,
but the industry hasn't kept up with adoption," said Christopher Amen-Kroeger,
WeBot's CTO. "As a result, we have islands of media -- songs, videos, pictures
-- scattered across multiple machines, disorganized, and uncontrolled. WeBot
was started in order to fix this problem."
WeBot is demonstrating the video capability, along with new features like
Live Digital Picture Frames, in the Nokia tent (booth #30313) at CES.
