Cingular readying video download service?
Hot on the heels of Verizon's YouTube deal, it looks like Cingular wants to kick up the volume on its video offerings, too. Granted, they've already got Cingular Video kicking around, but what's the one thing Cingular Video won't let you do? It won't download clips to your phone, that's what -- and that's where the new service steps in. We don't have details on what sorts of downloads will be offered (full-length movies, perhaps?), but our intrepid tipster tells us he's been offered in on a trial to gather feedback using his LG CU320, suggesting that the new service may very well be 3G-only. Given the kind of bloat that comes with video, we're guessing a microSD card might be in order, too.[Thanks, Evan]

Who wants to watch a movie or tv on such a small screen?

I was just offered the same beta testing trial. They said they will begin testing on December 6th and I was chosen because I am a MediaMax customer. I don't think this will be only for 3G areas because we do not have it where I live.

sounds great, but does anyone know when Cingular will have 3G in Los Angeles?

I dont think they will be full length movie downloads,it would take too much time and data.Instead.it should be music clips and tv shows that just aired a la Itunes when they first started.
I am also wondering,if they have this project going on, what about music download OTA?
