Non- Traditional delivery of Film/Video Re: [LINK] Optus launches mobile film competition

[Marghanita da Cruz]

with regard to screen size, my TV has a smaller screen than my 
computer...and I must say that seeing a newsreader on a big screen is 
not an experience I cherish.
However, the detail in nature footage is fabulous.

I think we will see more personal types of films/tv soaps.

but do you really think we will sprawl on our lounges holding up a 
mobile phone?

Viocorp is doing stuff at
http://www.niceshorts.tv.
and have showings at a trendy bar in Oxford St Sydney.
