(Barcelona, Spain) Mobile World Congress -- FlickRocket, an online video distribution
platform for small- and medium-size content owners has added support for iPhone
and iPod touch devices. Video makers using FlickRocket to distribute their video
can use the new feature to extend the audience they reach to the growing number
of mobile video users with Apple's popular devices.
FlickRocket enables content owners to sell their video directly from their
web site under their own branding. Content owners can define the price and license
scheme such as rental or download-to-own including advanced options such as
secure burning to DVD or export to mobile devices.
With the addition of the iPhone or iPod touch, content owners are now able
to sell their content to virtually every device capable of playing video starting
from a PC ranging to portable media players, cell phones, game consoles, DVD
Players and more. By choice of the content owner, the video is secured by Digital
Rights Management.
"FlickRocket enables content owners to sell their content to the widest
possible audience by supporting virtually every target platform and device.
Customers can enjoy their purchase whenever and wherever they want. This translates
into more customers, high customer satisfaction and ultimately in more content
sales," says Michael Schmidt, VP Marketing at FlickRocket.
"Using FlickRocket on our web site really made a difference in film sales.
We sell language learning videos and people like to take them with them to practice
in their spare time. I am sure adding support for the iPhone will be another
boost in sales," says Sunil Kumar, Owner at Language Experts, who produces
and sells language training videos using FlickRocket.
Support for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch has been added through the custom
"My Movies" app, which is available at no cost in the Apple app store.
FlickRocket supports Windows, regular DVD players, portable media players,
navigation systems, Windows Mobile phones, Blackberry, Android, feature phones,
PlayStation and iPhone/iPod touch. Solutions for Mac OS X and Android are planned
to be released in the near future. Content owners can sign up for free at www.flickrocket.com.
