Movie Playback on the BlackBerry Bold Using Badaboom

**MIG-31** · Nov 14, 2008, 08:43 PM

It seems like yesterday that I wrote the article on how to play DVD movies on the Palm Treo 650 Smartphone, but it has been two and a half years since that was posted. Back then the process of putting a movie on your phone took days to figure out on your own and the image quality wasn't that great. On top of all that, you had to download and install plugins and a movie player to get it to work. The end result was a movie that played on your phone, but the Palm Treo 650 had a 320 x 320 pixel transflective display that wasn't too impressive.

Nice stuff, these media phones but I'll stick to media on the go with my PSP, the res is nearly the same too (480 x 272 16:9 so widescreen videos are in the correct format already!

Anyway, this Badaboom is interesting, CUDA powered eh? Worth a look.
