Sprint to use Quicktime for mobile phones

Written by Petteri Pyyny @ 27 Aug 2004 13:50

American cell phone operator Sprint has delivered first major victory for Apple in software companies' fight for mobile platform dominance by launching a video service in the U.S. that uses Apple's QuickTime video format to deliver video clips for mobile phones.

Previously, RealNetworks has dominated the mobile video market as its mobile video player comes bundled with all Nokia's Series 60 smart phones. However, the new service from Sprint is now limited to only one handset, Samsung MM-A700.
