iPhone Video Apps Made Easy

One of the biggest frustrations we've come across recently is how difficult it is to develop and deliver applications for Apple's App Store.

Well, we think that we've come up with a solution, especially if you want to launch a video service for the iPhone. Our team has released into beta a fully configurable iPhone App that's ready to submit to the App Store in seconds.

All you have to do is to specify what Channel and Playlist you wish to add and then add the graphics for the App icon and launch screens and you're done. It really is as easy as that.

If you want any customization, then our team can also take care of that by adding additional functionality according to your brief.

Going Mobile

Hot on the heals of the VidZapper iPhone app developed by our colleagues at vivocomtech in Spain we've just begun testing the beta version of our new Android app. It works well on WiFi and we'll see how it fares on Vodafone's 3G network later today.

One thing that particularly impressed me was the quality of the video: this was encoded using Handbrake, which is well worth investigating if you're preparing video for mobile distribution.

We'll post a trial app with instructions in due course.

Content Publishing Windows Added

A number of new features have been added to VidZapper, including the ability to set a publish and expiry date for content so that the video does not appear either in timelines nor in search unless it is within the publishing window. The system's drag and drop capability has also been significantly improved.
