Android Mobile Phones Recieve Top Quality Streaming Live TV for The First Time

May 20, 2010 - PRLog -- The beta release by Yamgo (http://www.yamgo.com), the mobile TV and video specialists, is an upgrade to its Android service following increased demand and means that almost all users of the Android handset can now enjoy mobile entertainment at the same quality as users of Apple’s iPhone.

The growing popularity of smart phones in recent years has led to increased competition between mobile companies to identify who can provide the best mobile experience for customers.

The iPhone has long been regarded as the leading smartphone, providing the greatest graphics, colours, sound and streaming.

In comparison, despite Android’s greater market share and the higher use of data services by Android customers, some users complain of poor sound, stuttering pictures and squashed screens whenever they attempt to watch mobile TV.

However, Yamgo’s pioneering beta service is about to change that situation for everybody.  Now almost all smartphone users in the UK can enjoy high quality live mobile TV channels from some of the UK’s leading broadcasters, including BBC, ITV and Channel 4, using a 3G or Wi-Fi connection.

Yamgo CEO and Founder Ian Mullins added “The Yamgo service will change the way that Android users enjoy their phones by delivering high quality live mobile TV and video. The majority of Android users can now access an ever increasing number of live UK channels and a constantly updated catalogue of videos and experience the same high-quality enjoyed by those who use yamgo.mobi on the iPhone”.

The free live TV service provides Android users and almost all other mobile consumers with the highest possible picture quality using the existing video player in the user’s mobile phone and does not require any additional software or application download.

Unlike many other providers, Yamgo operates optimised streaming that adapts the picture quality to the available network connectivity, minimising any buffering and providing a viewing experience even whilst on the move. Android users can register with Yamgo today at http://www.yamgo.mobi and experience top quality live streaming for the first time.
