The hardest part about being a couch potato is that sometimes you actually have to leave the house. What can you do? Get a life? That is no longer necessary as Verizon has rolled out V CAST . V CAST lets cell phone users watch TV on their cell phone. The service costs $15 a month and you have to live in one of 30 major metro areas in the U.S.
BusinessWeek reports :
For a new service, V CAST offers impressive content. Users can stream minutes-long news reports from NBC and CNN, sports highlights from ESPNews and Fox, stock market updates, city-specific weather reports, movie trailers, even short clips from the previous night’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central. One note of caution, though: Getting these goodies isn’t as simple as turning on the tube. It takes 30 to 90 seconds to summon a clip — a considerable amount of time given that most videos last only a minute or two.
Is it big screen TV? No. Is it Tivo? No. But it should be able to help you continue to avoid interacting with real people.
