Websites should be accessible to mobile web viewing as it is for conventional internet browsing and navigation. This is because fast developments on
digital information technologies yield in a more agitated population clamoring for access to the most up-to-date information and communication platforms. More so if we're talking about access to online entertainment at its finest. With this, I suggest you read on so as to design your website for mobile video streaming as well.
The first thing to consider is the video memory buffer of most mobile phone these days. Not quite as powerful as desktop computers, laptop PCS, or handheld computers, but don't worry, we're getting there. Just needs time as much as financing, I guess. With this, web designers should consider streaming videos in a format that best suits both conventional and mobile video viewing. This would have to be a format in which the video packets are sent as minimal as possible. Plus, the minimal video file packets should contain more data on each packet than traditional video stream formats. Thus, this would require a format that is of smaller, much smaller, total file size for each video stream file. Then would be the website's resizing and resolution features in terms of the video stream viewing on both mobile phones and conventional internet-capable machines.
With the
3GPP format, designing and developing websites to be most compatible and accessible to both conventional and mobile viewing regardless of internet connection speed is finally a reality. Web designers should first consider adding interactivity to the 3GPP video sites, such as manual tweaking of size and resolution of the video streams by the viewer. Then, integrating access keys to navigate through the features of the 3GPP video site since most mobile phones do not have mouse cursors. Finally, using CSS, JavaScript, and XHTML to greatly increase the 3GPP site's accessibility and usability on either the mobile phone platform or conventional equipment platforms.
