Its a start

Flickr just added the option to upload video. The quality seems up to par compared some of the other embedded flash sites. I’ll have to upload something soon and compare them myself with vimeo.com or viddler.com. Flickr requires you to have a pro account to upload videos. Limits you to 90 seconds of video max size of 150 MB. Also not sure if there is a video resolution limit either. I don’t know. It seems to be a basic flash player. I know an HD video uploaded to vimeo looks great scaled down to the standard flash video size on a webpage. Also looks great up scalled on my 1920 X 1200 screen too. The flickr videos look good on my notebook in full screen. Not sure what they will look like on my desktop monitor at 1920.

I guess I’m that much closer to watching TV on my wrist watch. Except the future is always a bit askew. I’m sure it will be some phone that has a 3 to 5 inch wide screen lcd. If you think thats too small then consider how many damn videos of kids kicking each other in the nuts you’ve watched on a youtube size screen.
