Can I view streaming videos from a website on a pda?

Question

You know, like Youtube or something?

I am thinking of buying a PDA, is there any way I can watch videos through the wifi online?

Is there a specific PDA I need to buy or something, because this is a feature that I want badly.

Is there a program I can get for it?

I just want to view streaming videos, I just want to know if it is possible, because converting a video file is just pointless. I just want to know if it is possible or if there is one I need to buy to be able to do that?

Answer 1

I have heard that on the newer Blackberry's have Wifi and you can stream videos from YouTube. I also got my Blackberry Pearl 8100 to stream without Wifi. It's much better then having to download a video because then it takes up memory. If I were you I would go with the BlackBerry Bold, which will be coming out soon which has a Higher FPS (frames per/sec)

Answer 2

Yes you can

If you buy a pocket pc with windows mobile 5 ,6, or 6.1 and it doesn't have a streaming player on it you can easily download one for it.

I also hate to download any videos it takes up more room and i will more than likely only watch it once or twice.

With windows mobile you can get software to stream almost any video from youtube regular or mobile

You can  also stream 3gp ,3gpp,  mpeg4 , flv ,mpeg ,rm , rmv  and more
