SAN DIEGO – January 18, 2006 –Veoh Networks, Inc.
(www.veoh.com), the first Internet Television Peercasting Network, today
announced that the majority of its catalog of more than 20,000
independent, user-published videos is now available for download and
enjoyment on the Sony PSP computer entertainment system. Veoh
automatically downloads videos of interest to a PSP owner’s device
each time they connect it to their PC.
The recent introduction and adoption of portable video players mean
consumers all over the world are looking for high-quality content to
watch while on the go. Using Veoh’s unique Peercasting model, the
network easily and efficiently distributes TV-quality, full-screen video
to be played on a PC or Mac or on a variety of new portable devices.
Thousands of iPod owners are already filling their players with
thousands of videos available through Veoh. From music videos and comedy
sketches to how-to sessions and all things automotive, PSP and iPod
enthusiasts will find compelling content.
“Portable video is a hot topic for consumers, with many devices
introduced and lauded earlier this month at the Consumer Electronics
Show. Consumers clearly want to see their content when and where they
choose,” said Dmitry Shapiro, CEO of Veoh Networks. “Veoh is
designed to support the many viewing choices consumers need, including
the living room TV, their laptop and portable video devices. Our network
allows anyone to publish TV-quality video that can be watched everywhere.”
Veoh integrates with the Sony PSP Media Manager, sold separately through
Sony, allowing easy export of videos from the Veoh Network to a person’s
PSP. Veoh’s peer-to-peer distribution technology, unlike streaming
video, gives portable device owners a place to discover high-grade video
they can watch wherever they are.
