Have you tried out vTap yet? It is a very cool program from Veveo for quickly searching for AND playing video on your mobile device.

I just got a chance to play with this on my 8525, and it’s got lots of nice features:

• Very quick search for video clips (or Wikipedia entries) – starts searching as soon as you start typing and returns good, relevant results
• Plays video clips once you find them, with a nice little player of its own – which you can swap into the background, set its zoom level, go full screen etc.
• Today screen plugin
• Show Past Queries, History, and Bookmarks options with one tap on right Soft Key
• Nice range of options and makes good use of Soft Keys for options and controls
• Over-the-Air .cab file install for Windows Mobile 5 / 6 Smartphone and Pocket PC devices

Some more screencaps after the break …

If you haven’t searched for anything, you can just glance through current, popular video clips.

Results when searching for Top Gear clips.

A look at some of the Soft Key menu options.

Also tried this out quickly on the iPhone – no program install of course, just browsed to the main vTap URL – it works well and uses the iPhone’s in-built player.

vTap really looks like it could become a must-have app for video search and playback on mobiles. Check it out at:
