MyWaves is a startup company that has been quietly testing its new platform that will allow cell phone users to watch internet video clips from popular video sites such as CNN and YouTube.The service works with wireless carriers with high-speed data networks is already attracting 20,000 new users per week according to the company. Unlike Verizon users who can access just YouTube videos, MyWaves allows you to access multiple video sites.
In addition to using MyWaves RSS feeds to access internet video you can also upload video with the service for private or shared viewing. The MyWaves software is Java based and works with most video capable phones.

Unfortunately MyWaves is doing something that really pisses me off; it's calling a few short video clips a channel. I don't know about you but I'm pretty sure that a channel is more than just a few short video clips adding up to 15minutes viewing time. So when MyWaves states it has 1000s of channels that's just misleading, why not just say 1000s of videos and be honest.

Other than that little annoyance the product looks great and it's free.
