In a cave somewhere in dinosaur-land, there is a caveman. This Neanderthal, living in the Stone Age, is the last person watching video on a television set. But when mobile devices get good enough at video, he’ll switch, too.

Mobile devices have now gotten good enough at video. Meet Avot Media. Avot is a new service which brings various video media sites and formats under one system, and can run on various kinds of mobile viewing systems. Gone are the days when you had to worry about which site to search, what format the video is in, or whether it will work with your setup. With Avot Media’s search and discovery tools, you will be able to tell it what you want to watch, and it will find it for you and bring it right to you. Whether it’s on YouTube, Google video, Daily Motion, or even any ordinary website.

The Avot Mobile Site program itself is easily downloaded and available for all three of the Pocket PC, Smartphone, and Samsung Blackjack. The features are an amazing set, with a practicality and convenience that will remind you of an iPod. No video transcoding is required; the video is a direct stream. The patented technology overcomes the limitations of bandwidth and latency - you’d have to see the demo to believe how smooth and quick it is.

The interface also allows you to collect and store a playlist, so that over time - this is the iPod part I was talking about - you can save up a library of videos ready to play. And - here’s the part where it’s just like TV - it can break the media up into channels, so you have categories of content you can browse within - from music videos to news to sports to TV shows.

How much are you paying for cable and satellite TV right now? That was one thing that occurred to me while viewing this product. There was a time (listen up, grandkids) when TV was FREE! Then cable came along, and we started paying for a few channels, and then pretty soon we were paying for all of them. Did the content get better? Are there even fewer commercials? No, of course not. But now on mobile devices we see the paradigm turn again; I can see news and music and sports without having to pay a separate price for CNN, MTV, and ESPN. How did we get suckered into doing it the other way, again?

There’s plenty more information available for those of you panting to find out more. Of course, they have their own blog Avot Blog. There’s also demo movies on YouTube here and here.

Happy viewing!
