Streaming Media lets you stream live broadcasts or on-demand media content from the web. The media is sent in a continuous stream to your phone and is played as it arrives, along with the audio.

The Streaming Media program allows you to play 3GP and MPEG-4files. It also supports playback of SDP (Session Description Protocol) files.

2.In the address bar, enter the URL address of the web page that contains the RTSP link to the desired *.3gp, *.mp4, or *.sdp file.

3.On the web page, tap the RTSP link.

4.Streaming Media then automatically opens and starts playing the file. During playback, use the slider and button controls to play/pause, switch to full screen, replay, and fast forward.
