That MySpace and Yahoo integration wasn't the
only thing Helio rolled out for their user media services today; in addition to the leaned
MySpace interface and customized
Yahoo services
portal, Helio users with the All-In Membership will get a slew of other things to keep them occupied when
constantly fidgeting with the
Kickflip's hinge.
There's Helio On Top (H.O.T.) access, which is a simple 10-channel news and info aggregation feature, MMS picture and
video messages, which can be sent up to 1MB per; free streaming video from major networks like MTV, Comedy Central,
ABC, etc., $2.49 music video downloads (uh, what?), and of course those
purchased, "gifted," or
"begged" games, which are going for $5.99 to buy, or $0.99 to "rent" on your phone for a week.
(The gifting and begging thing isn't only limited to games though, and can be applied to any purchasable content as
well.) Not a whole lot in there that we're super interested in, ourselves; but you know us, we're more the Bluetooth
DUN,
A2DP,
SlingPlayer, data overload types more prone to exploring
mobile media on our own than holding a carrier's (or MVNO's) hand.
