JuiceCaster Does Mobile Media

This looks interesting – JuiceCaster, a mobile broadcasting app, is about to arrive in Java app form on T-Mobile phones. The service, which is also available as a WAP site at m.juicecaster.com, lets you post media – like camera phone pictures and videos – and send them to your friends’ phones. You can also post them to your MySpace page, Facebook profile, your blog, and more, all right from your phone.

The public videos on the service make it sort of like a mobile YouTube, and like YouTube, you can subscribe to your favorite channels, such as those belonging to your friends. JuiceCaster members and friends can also interact with all the media that’s being publicly shared by posting comments on the media which the owner can respond to.

In addition to the publicly posted media, friends can choose to send each other private videos, pictures, and audio or text messages instead.

Via a Facebook app, the JuiceCaster Mobile Status application, your most recent photo, video, or text entry on JuiceCaster can also update your Facebook status, which automatically updates your mini-feed and your friends’ news feeds with your latest info.

A Mobile Video Facebook app will add your uploaded videos to your Facebook profile.

For other sites, like MySpace, Blogger, Friendster, etc., there’s an embed code for a JuiceCaster widget. And for Twitterers, JuiceCaster can be configured to update Twitter with links to your media.

JuiceCaster 6.0 will become available on 12 to 14 T-Mobile handsets, including Nokia, Sony Ericsson, and Motorola models (like Razr), but subscribers will have to agree to an additional $3 per month charge. The WAP site, however, is free.
