Video goes mobile with Microsoft

Microsoft has launched a video download service for Windows-based mobile devices, reports the BBC.

"Subscribers will be able to get daily TV programmes, news and sport headlines, comedy, music videos and independent films.

The package of programmes is specially tailored for viewing on Microsoft smartphones, Pocket PCs and portable media centres.

The service is US only and costs $19.95 but some shows will be free.

Microsoft has lined up 20 firms that will provide downloadable programmes and short films for the video service.

These include MSNBC, Fox Sports, IFilm, MTV, Tivo, Napster, DIY Network and many others."
