Mobile Video Experience

http://mashable.com/2008/10/30/mobile-video-tipping-points/

3 billion active mobile phones in the world today, only 4% of mobile users subscribing to mobile video services. It’s not for lack of content — there are 15 billion Web videos on the Internet. So why aren’t people watching mobile videos?

To date, users haven’t found the mobile video experience compelling enough.
The list of adoption barriers include:
    - Price
    - Image quality
    - Rich content
    - Long download times
    - Device support
    - The user experience (search and discovery)
    - Consumers’ lack of awareness of the feature

My take is that with 15 billion Web videos, it will be pretty challenging to find one that suits the average mobile user. The key point is user experience.
