# I keep mentioning this place
but have you seen pocketmovies.com? lots of hand-held-sized movies and information... if you only look for palm when searching, you miss a lot of stuff that can be converted with little/no effort

pocketpcflash.net is another one... I wish I could get flash on my phone, still according to what I've found it's on it's way :-)

# not sure
hat you mean, If its pocketmovies.net, I know it, but its drab, has no exclusive content, and I think it only encodes for pocket pc. In terms of content, the only content on palmpixels will be very animation specific with a section for shorts, the thing is, theres bugger all around for palm really yet, so I hope palmpixels will be popular as the content will be good, I dont need a trailer for the next spiderman movie particularly...

edit - in fact, theyre all mpeg1 content. There is a program called mmplayer, from www.mmplayer.com which natively plays avi and mpeg - its shaping up to be quite good, and removes the necessity for proprietary programs like fireviewer and kinoma.

# fair enough
the encoding I've seen has all been generic avi or mpeg, not specific to pocket pcs.

still, as you say, it's hardly an inspiring site - I look forward to seeing what yours will be like and what you'll have. it'd be nicer if sites didn't get hung up on device-specific things and tried to cater for greater communities, I think... all hand-helds, instead of single devices, stuff like that
