The world is the wireless industry's oyster if it can only figure out ways to be innovative in product and service offerings -- and many carriers are doing just that since competition is fierce and pressure to find new revenue streams never ends in the mecca of high-tech and consumer uptake.Enter mobile video streaming, and in a Public Broadcasting System's PBS KIDS study just performed recently, preschoolers learned their alphabet quickly using video content streamed to 80 children -- all over video-capable Sprint phones (I'm assuming EV-DO handsets).
This study was a rather small-scale on, but just goes to show that wireless streaming and targeted multimedia content can be used for something other than video clips of "The Daily Show" (no pun intended). This was a really innovative use of a teaching tool -- and it would be awesome to see more occurrences like this.
