Veveo debuts vTap for iPhone, Windows Mobile

Mobile video service provider Veveo introduced vTap, a web video discovery service enabling users to search, browse and view web videos via supported mobile phones. Available now to Apple iPhone and Microsoft Windows Mobile phone users, vTap employs a character-based incremental search refined as more characters are entered, enabling users to find desired content without entering full keywords or phrases--the service also offers intuitive browsing support and hierarchical search results. Veveo also maintains a continually-updated index of web videos, promising users access to the most timely and relevant content.

"Mobile users often find themselves in environments where there is a need for immediate fulfillment of an impromptu desire to be distracted, entertained or inspired," said Veveo co-founder and CEO Murali Aravamudan in a prepared statement. "vTap's comprehensive web video index, coupled with its intuitive search and browse discovery mechanisms, delivers a web video experience with the power and functionality of a traditional desktop application, on a mobile device."
