China’s CCTV iPhone application review: an embarrassment to American television networks.
China’s CCTV has just released a new iPhone application that really blows away most other TV iPhone applications that I’ve seen. Of course, there is this caveat–it’s all in Chinese, and pretty much not worth much to those who don’t speak Mandarin (with the exception of sports content), but the application is chock a block full of content from all of the CCTV networks, providing catch up of TV series, news clips, etc. It’s amazing that so much content can be made available online, and should serve as a bit of a template for American television networks seeking to release mobile applications. Of course in a country in which IP rights are more of an afterthought rather than the first thought, you can develop the cool applications first and worry about the rights issues later.
