It’s hip2b2

I improved the little midlet I wrote to watch a GMA Channel 7 TV stream on the Smart 3G network on a Sony Ericsson 3G handset. I modified it to make a more a generic midlet that will allow the user to browse multiple streams and select the stream he/she wants to view. You can download the improved midlet from here:

Right now, I just browsed and pulled the links from the broken Smart 3G WAP portal. I say it is broken because of the numerous stray and invalid WML tags and some other WML validation problems. If they tested the site on a Nokia N70 it will probably work because of the high tolerance level of Nokia mobile browsers. However, I still believe that Smart should invest time repairing their WAP portal. Besides, WAP is passe. They should be using XHTML BP or MP instead.

So have fun with the midlet!
