"Who's it for?"
Anyone who's either just purchased or is about to purchase a smartphone - this isn't supposed to be TV for uber-geeks or programmers, it's more 'all about smartphones for the rest of us'.
"What do I need to play the Smartphones Show?"
A Windows desktop or a Mac or a video iPod or a PSP or a smartphone. So that's just about everybody sorted then!
"Shot ON a smartphone? Really?"
Yes, 99% of the Smartphones Show is shot (video and stills) on a Nokia N93, a Symbian OS-powered smartphone. I wanted to demonstrate how powerful some of these modern devices are in terms of multimedia creation. The Show is the proof....
"Your older shows seem to need Quicktime"
Yes, for shows older than 43 I embedded the MP4 into the show page instead of the YouTube version. Most PCs and Macs could handle this because Quicktime Player is a free plug-in. But I've switched to YouTube embedding because it's even more foolproof. If you're trying to play an old show and it's not working, make sure you have the latest Quicktime etc. The MP4 file is still there behind the scenes, for the majority of viewers who grab the show via RSS (e.g. in iTunes).
"Your Show has helped me, how can I help you?"
In several ways: by spreading the word to your friends and colleagues; by linking to the Smartphones Show (use http://3lib.ukonline.co.uk/sshow) from your blog or web page; and by making a small donation to help keep the show going.
