myMobileMedia: Stream iTunes music to mobile
By Vivek | March 27th, 2007 at 12:36 pm ET
myMobileMedia from NJ based CMWare is an interesting alternative to SoonR, Avvenu, and Orb if you want to get your PC content on your mobile. Most of the basic functionality is supposed to be the same including ability to view files, and photos. Difference is in the myMobileMedia’s capability to stream DRM-protected content. In other words you can listen to iTunes music on your mobile without ever copying the content onto the phone itself. Hmm. Sounds like a small victory before everyone start moving to a DRM free world.
Even otherwise I always presumed this was not that big of an market. Still we have atleast 4 companies competing directly in the same space, while peer-2-web startups like PurpleNova, Boxcloud, and Izimi(Note: These guys think they are better than Youtube 
) also offering similar capabilities of file access from mobile.

Hi all, if you read the blog post about izimi that you mention you’ll see its Francis McInerney who observes %u201CBasically, Izimi obsoletes YouTube”. Now, that’s very flattering for us (I work at izimi), but since we’ve only just launched the technology platform and are pre-consumer launch I think you’d probably have to argue that one today.
No, what I think Francis is observing is that the principle of cutting out the upload step and being able to instantly share any file with just a few clicks, direct from your PC to anyone else with just a web browser is a natural progression from where we are today… Once you have better technology in the hands of the users this kind of disintermediation happens in any market. Its just the start. D
