Push To Talk Evolves For Cameraphones
Separately Nokia, LG and Motorola each announced solutions to share video or images directly with other mobile phone users as opposed to through a messaging network.
LG and Motorola both have launched Push To View (PTV) products. Using the same infrastructure as Push To Talk over Cellular (PoC), PTV allows users to select one or more users from a buddy list and instantly share media with those users
Motorola's solution is designed for still images, while LG's is focused on sharing video over 3G networks.
Nokia, too, has a solution for instantly sharing video over 3G networks called Video Sharing. Nokia's system lets users begin sharing live or pre-recorded video from within a regular voice call, allowing both parties to watch the video while talking. [viaPhone Scoop]
