Mobile video hits Edinburgh Festival



With thousands of shows to choose from, it is not easy picking something to watch during the Edinburgh Festival.



But a new wireless video service is offering visitors a new way to use their mobile phones to sift through what is on offer. Video clips from performers at the festival are available, together with reviews from critics, and festival goers do not need a third-generation mobile phone to watch them.



The service, which is available for free, provides an indicator of how people could interact with large events like this in the future. Mobile networks have been offering reviews and information via text message for some time now, but this service takes that idea one step further.
