NOS mobile software

3 June, 2008 (21:41) | Uncategorized, mobile | By: B10m

The NOS (Dutch public broadcasting system) recently launched a mobile application for their website. This includes their TV news show, Internet news feeds as well as weather forecasts, traffic information and an interface to Teletext.

Of course I had to give it a go on my Nokia N95 8GB and I must say I’m quite impressed! The application works well. The interface is slick and the videos of the news are streaming without many problems. The NOS claims they will also stream the Olympic Games and see no reason why the great uitzendinggemist.nl couldn’t be streamed through the application as well. Wow!

So far, I’m quite happy to watch the morning news in the train, see the traffic jams I skip (by using the train) and browse Teletext.

NOS, well done!
