RemoTV, a newcomer on the mobile entertainment market, announced the beta launch of RemoTV, a service that allows users to access and share music, video and image files via the mobile phone. Using media streaming technology, the new service enables customers to access media files on the desktop PC via an Internet-enabled cell phone.

To use the service, users have to install an application called RemoTV Channels! on their home PC, and another application, called RemoTV Mobile! on their mobile phone. The mobile application is compatible with many AT&T and Sprint cell phones, including devices manufactured by Samsung, LG, Motorola and Sanyo, as well as with other Internet-enabled phones with high-resolution displays.

After the applications are installed, users can start using the service by creating audio and video channels that they can access on-the-go. Users can opt to keep their channels private, or they can choose to share them with specific users, or make them available to the general public. If someone wants to share his channels with friends that are not RemoTV members, he can invite them to join via email or SMS.

"With RemoTV we are looking to open the wireless space to user generated content as well as giving consumers access to their desktop media making the cellular phone truly a portable entertainment device," said Chris Penner, president and CEO of RemoTV. "As our userbase continues to grow and we develop a greater database of shared user content, we look for RemoTV to become the ultimate Peer-to-Peer entertainment network for wireless consumers."

RemoTV is currently in a beta testing phase that will continue for about 60 days. Over this time RemoTV plans to enhance the service with new features such as access to RemoTV media from any Internet browser, and access to files even when the desktop PC is offline.
