MUMBAI: Airtel has announced the launch of video service for non-video phones for its pre-paid and post-paid GPRS customers nationally.
 
 
To access this service, an Airtel GPRS customer using a non video phone just needs to go to the Airtel Live portal and simply click on the "Videos for Non Video Phones" section. The customer can then select a video of his choice.

The video along with the software gets downloaded on the phone, and the customer can then view the video. The duration of the video may be typically 10-30 seconds, depending on the phone's memory availability.

 
 
The software Oplayo Vidlet, which has made possible the innovation, is an all in one video player for Java enabled mobile phones, developed by Oplayo Oy, a Finnish company pioneering in mobile software technology.
 
 
The software contains both the playback and the media content in one small package. It works as any standard downloadable Java application bringing video to mass-market mobile phones.

Announcing the introduction of the service, Bharti Cellular Ltd chief marketing officer and director Atul Bindal said, "The launch of video for non video phones, first time in the country through the Airtel Live mobile portal represents our latest initiative to provide what the best in mobile technology has to offer.
