Jigsee has made it possible to view videos on several hundred basic mobile phones with limited memory, low processing power and shorter battery life. What makes the Jigsee service even more attractive is the ease of use-by just downloading Jigsee with a Rs. 5 per day GPRS connection.
Ray Newal, CEO & President, Jigsee Inc. said, "Inexpensive mobile phones and low tariff plans have narrowed the rich-poor gap in the world of communication for over 500 million Indians. Earlier, a good quality video streaming experience was possible only on expensive mobile phones. Jigsee now brings a smartphone-like continuous video streaming experience to basic mobile phones even on slow wireless networks."
250,000 mobile phone users have downloaded the Jigsee application in two months span from its launch. Provided minimum data rates of 30 to 40 Kbps, videos of any length flow through Jigsee's platform flow in a continuous stream, even on inexpensive phones and the content is free of cost (though internet connection is charged as per the operators' plans). Jigsee is available rich media content in 10 Indian languages-Assamese, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Gujarati, Malayalam, Marathi, Punjabi, Rajasthani, Tamil and Telugu in addition to Hindi and English.
Areef Reza, CTO, Jigsee said, "Jigsee's strength lies in its patent pending network optimization technology. The team understands how to make information flow through a constrained network in the most efficient manner possible. This core competency in network data flow forms the underlying thread of Jigsee's technology."
Jigsee Beta is now available for free download via http://m.jigsee.com and at half a dozen app stores, including on the Appia (Opera Mobile Store, Mobile2day, Zedge), Airtel, Getjar, Ovi and Tata Docomo.
