14 DAY TRIAL // Nokia announced the availability of its new video streaming service - Medeo, the next episode of mobile entertainment. The service is especially designed for Nokia handsets and delivers video and media content directly from Hollywood, everyday. Wanna know what Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been doing lately, or maybe watch the latest movie trailers? No problem: access Nokia's website from your mobile phone and you'll get the best fresh lifestyle and entertainment content.
Created by Starcut, a leading mobile services and software company, Medeo is the first option when it comes to the latest Hollywood-related news, film trailers, interviews with stars, music and fashion. And, since it is an ad-sponsored service, Medeo is free for users (although data transfer charges may apply, depending on users' carrier).
"We've already paved the way for the mobile device to evolve beyond the traditional sphere of mobility into a device as personal as it is powerful", said Petteri Putkiranta, director of video experiences, Multimedia, Nokia. "Bringing you the entertainment you want is part of that promise - and with Starcut's innovative service, we are delivering entertainment straight to your Nokia device."
"With Medeo, we're able to bring our extensive experience and insight in mobile services and entertainment to the forefront. We are excited to have Nokia bring Medeo to a worldwide audience", said Juha Tiihonen, Chief Executive Officer at Starcut.
Even though the video and media content available from Medeo is focused on Hollywood, it will deliver content from other popular entertainment centers too, like Berlin or Cannes, where important annual film festivals are held. Moreover, Nokia anticipates the service will appeal to a wide audience all over the world, outreaching more significant entertainment locations in the future.
The Medeo service is currently available only for Nokia Nseries and Eseries handsets, but other Nokia devices that support video streaming will be added soon.
