Search for videos using regular SMS on JuiceCaster

JuiceCaster this week launched its Mobile Video Search (MVS), a search application that looks for user-posted videos via wireless devices. The free service lets anyone with a video-capable cell phone to instantly watch desired videos on-demand by texting a keyword to 84462. The search tool then immediately sends a reply, with links to the requested content. The company says MVS works on more than 95% of video-capable phones, including the iPhone, BlackBerry, Treo and Windows Mobile devices, as well as mass-market phones like the Motorola Razr series.

The free WAP version is accessible by sending the word "join" in a text message to 84462. Subscription-based and downloadable BREW and Java versions of the application are also available through different local and global wireless carriers.

Heres a quick explanation of JuiceCaster in case you don't know what it is yet:

iPhone with JuiceCaster

While most of what we saw at CES falls into the hardware category, there were a couple of companies showing off web applications that work with or are designed for the iPhone.

JuiceCaster lets you share and view videos online via your iPhone.

JuiceCaster is a social network site designed to let you share and view videos online. It automatically detects that you’re using an iPhone and displays videos in a compatible MPEG4 format. While iPhone users can’t record their own videos to upload, due to a lack of video recording functionality, you can also access the site via your Mac and embed the player on other social networking sites like MySpace and Xanga.

If it’s sharing music you’re into, FlyTunes is a forthcoming service that takes advantage of the thousands of available Internet radio stations to provide you with an unparalleled selection of music, streamed directly to your iPhone. Software installed on your PC or Mac works as a middleman, building a channel tailored to your musical preferences. And by caching 30 minutes of audio on your iPhone when a Wi-Fi signal is detected, FlyTunes doesn’t chew up your iPhone’s precious battery time.
