Standby- and talk-time are important hard facts for today's mobile devices and mobile phones since these figures tell the user something about the run-time, he can expect from the device. However, as good as these figures are, they are not saying anything about the actual use-time of a device. Especially with the introduction of smartphones, the whole battery life figures changed dramatically because smartphones are not used for voice calls and a couple of text messages anymore but smartphones handle appointments and contacts, acts as portable media centers by playing audio tracks and videos as well as being Internet access devices for web and E-Mail.

As you might know, for some weeks the::unwired is offering "Video Views" in addition to the "Photo Views" where either devices are unboxed or devices or features are reviewed with video streams. So far I've used, with great success, the Flash Video format which works on virtually any PC and Mac operating systems, as long as the Adobe Flash Player is installed on your PC/Mac. But well, offering videos on PCs and Macs is one thing, providing the same content on mobile devices is something different and since I've launched the::unwired and all its forerunners, I always tried hard to make the content available on Windows Mobile devices as well.
