There is a HUGE difference, both in technology and in the user experience. Sure, its nice to get a photo on my cell phone. But not at all nice to transfer a huge video recording… for that I need streaming technology. Nothing that Avvenu does to today suggests that it can handle streaming your music or TV to your cell phone. So why do you want Russ to compare them?

best,
