Plus you don't need a top of the line phone, any V-Cast capable phone will do.  AND that 15 bucks gets you data too... hmm how much is the iphone data plan??]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[LankyR]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 11th 2008 3:36PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon fattens VCAST service, offers full-length episodes of The Office, CSI, and more]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/11/verizon-fattens-vcast-service-offers-full-length-episodes-of-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/11/verizon-fattens-vcast-service-offers-full-length-episodes-of-th/</guid><description><![CDATA[burn!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cl347bv]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 11th 2008 4:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon fattens VCAST service, offers full-length episodes of The Office, CSI, and more]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/11/verizon-fattens-vcast-service-offers-full-length-episodes-of-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/11/verizon-fattens-vcast-service-offers-full-length-episodes-of-th/</guid><description><![CDATA[Obviously you don't have an iPhone or have ever used Miro. Miro uses RSS feeds to download torrents, so every time your favorite show airs, about an hour later its on a bittorrent tracker. Miro automatically downloads it.<br><br>Simplify Media STREAMS music and video to any computer or iPhone you wish, and I can view and select what I want to see/hear right from my iPhone from anywhere. Even over 3g.<br><br>Oh and  the iPhone data plan is $30/m less my 17% discount - and that's for ALL data, all internet, and email. That $15 for V-Cast data only. Not internet data and email.<br><br>And I highly doubt those V-cast shows will be current episodes. Most shows have an 8 day hold before they can be put on the internet.<br><br>As for the high-end phone. Well, I'd have it with or without TV.

I don't know if the new offerings will be that way.  And I don't think they stream real-time.  That would be with the TV service which is $10 on top of the cost of VCast.  Still, you're looking at $25 for full data, VCast video and music, and streaming TV service (where available).  Different from the iPhone's offerings, but a good deal nonetheless.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Led]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 11th 2008 11:03PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
