Videos to Go for Pocket PC


Even though Pocket PC can lead to more productivity and getting more done, it's good to see the entertainment options that are available. I saw a reference to MSN video downloads over at Pocket PC magazine in Diane Dumas' Hot Downloads Column. I hadn't realized Microsoft had updated the video downloads section and added a premium membership to it.
The free basic membership contains some samples from channels such as MSNBC, Fox sports, and a few other outlets. The full or premium membership ($19.95 per year) Includes about a dozen other channels of exclusive content that is updated daily.

I just saw that the other day and tried it... in fact I was going to post about this AM - you beat me too it. Reminds of the Sprint TV I got my son with his new phone.
So far I would say it is so - so ... way too many commercials..... If I pay I want 0 commercials...

Well, thanks for letting us know anyway.
I used to use the MS Sync and go option to sync some news and stuff to my PPC. Ultimately, it was a great "Gee Whiz" factor, but didn't really amount to too much in the long run. Looking at the MSN video downloads lineup seemed like it would be similar.
Sync and go is great for managing music though.

Sync and Go stopped working for me - I think it was Service Pack 2 or some upgrade I did... I remember contacting Microsoft and they said it was no longer supported and replaced by built in features to Media Player 10.
For music I went to the dark side and use an iPOD - I am on this mission to somehow fill the 40 gig with music that I will listen to - so far at 5 gig including a few audiobooks.

I don't think that's the dark side..at least I hope it's not. I'm gonna get an iPod soon too.

I really like the iPOD - of course you may not agree with my musical selection - it ages me
Chicago Box Set
Alice Cooper
YES
Earth Wind and Fire
Elvis
I can go on....
however I find some new bands from the new iTUNES that I would not have listened to ... some I like.
