Sidekick LX Getting Video Recording and Playback, Maybe YouTube Action

Here's a snagged screen pointing to video recording and playback coming to the Sidekick LX in a future update. Nothing definitive on which codecs will be supported, but possibly H.264, which YouTube encodes videos in for Apple, meaning you might be able to watch YouTube videos. Or it could be a different one, and there's no word on whether there'll be a dedicated YouTube app. Regardless, video capabilities of some kind seem to be in the pipe. [Hiptop3]

  • that just looks like a theme to me. i had a sidekick 3 for a year and a half and the only real tinkering i found to be able to do was make themes.

    with a developer key however (going to danger, writing a small app, and getting approved) you could run your own code on the device, otherwise you were stuck with the catalog of stuff or what was already on there.

  • Im not surprised, you can already receive video on the LX, only a matter of time that you can send video :)

  • you definitly won't be able to stream videos from youtube, the phone really has no memory at all, you'll have to soft reset it after every video, just rid of my sidekick and got a helio and a curve, i've had a sidekick since the B&W sidekick and nothing at all has changed but cosmetics, i don't recommend this phone to anyone, so many problem and data outages

  • they couldve made all this possible before it even came out. they are just teasing the sidekick users.
    im glad i got rid of mine!
