Executive Summary

This project will develop a universal video content streaming application (app) for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. The app will interface with popular commercial video content sites such as Hulu, Fancast, Netflix, Youtube, Roku, Starz, etc. and enable iPhone users to stream content directly from these sites. Development of this app will span 6 months, commencing in January 2011, and cost $500K. The app will be distributed and marketed via the Apple iPhone App Store and retail for $2.99.
 

Project Scope

iPhone users will have direct and easy access to a wealth of commercial video content such as TV shows, movies and video clips hosted by popular video content providers. This will enable iPhone users to stream commercial video content and will obviate the need to purchase the video content in order to view it. This app will not only save iPhone users money, but also relieve the memory usage burden of having to download and save the video content on their iPhones. It will give users greater flexibility and ease in viewing commercial video content.

 App definition, design, development and testing
 Delivery and Acceptance of App to iPhone Dev Center
