Microsoft on Wednesday launched its video download service for handheld devices that use Windows Mobile.
Owners of Portable Media Centers, smart phones and pocket computers will be able to download daily programs and other video content from MSNBC.com, Food Network, Fox Sports, IFilm and other content providers, Microsoft said. The company had announced plans for the MSN Video Downloads service at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. Microsoft said about 20 content partners, including CinemaNow, MTV, Napster and TiVo, have agreed to make video formatted for devices using Windows Mobile since the launch of Portable Media Center last year.
