Sprint launches new nation wide TV streaming service together with the new Samsung MM-A700 Mobile Phone.

The Sprint PCS Vision Multimedia Services provides streaming video and audio content available nationwide.
The Sprint PCS Vision Multimedia Phone MM-A700 by Samsung will be the first CDMA device in the United States to deliver streaming audio and video content from TV stations like CNN, NBC, FOX Sports, The Weather Channel, E! Entertainment, mFlix, Twentieth Century Fox, AccuWeather and 1KTV. 600 new streaming video and audio clips will be provided every day, covering the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment.

The content, decompressed and played on the A700 embedded media player, is directly delivered to the handset from the high-speed (CDMA1X) Sprint PCS Vision network, eliminating the download process and the storage of files on the handset.

The Samsung A700 also has Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) quality for sound reproduction.
