Conclusion

smarTVideo Technologies, Inc. d/b/a uVuMobile (just to keep the lawyers happy) brings live, streaming commercial television and tons of other video content to your Treo 700p. It's an interesting, if somewhat limited (in scope) service. There are channels I'd LOVE to see them add. What their plans are for adding more channels in the future, I couldn't tell you. They wouldn't tell me. But I'd walk on hot coals if they offered TCM, Bravo, A&E, and a few other faves.

Maybe you're a wall-street maven and you just have to have CNBC and Bloomberg with you everywhere you go. Or a news or weather junkie, or you love to watch current movie trailers.. they've got you covered, and there's plenty more. Don't get me wrong; they do carry quite a bit of content, their subscription fees are, well, reasonably reasonable, and what they offer may perfectly suit your needs.
