160 characters reports: "Mobile users can for the first time send and receive video and a branded player by Bluetooth ... Forbidden has packaged its advanced compression and white labelled mobile player technology into one commercial tool to deliver mobile video via Bluetooth to today's range of ... 2.5G mobile phones".


This looks like good news for me, and I personally feel this is the way the company should go, mobile phones now have digital cameras and everyone has one over here, if FBT can stream video onto mobile phones there will be a massive market for them over in Asia, as well as in Europe once the mobile technology catches up

All IMHO

Tokyo

Of course FBT can stream video to mobiles as can all the other Java based video streaming companies (and there are loads of them). The interesting thing is that none of them make any money.

One of the problems is that almost all the content for streaming is owned by companies that do not use Java based streaming. They use Mpeg-4 based systems such as Windows Media, Real and Quicktime. They do this because Mpeg-4 is a world standard in the same way as Mpeg-2 is for digital TV like SKY and Mpeg-3 is a standard for music (mp3).

With Mpeg-4 you get a fuller range of features and better quaklity than Java based streaming. You can resize the viewing area which you cannot do with FBT's system.

That being the case and the content owners are already committed to streaming on the internet using Mpeg-4 then why would they not want to use it for mobile devices. They are not going to want to pay twice and set up two different systems.

It is all about interoperability.

Here are a couple of companies that are further advanced than FBT in the area of mobile streaming.

haystack i admire your disintrest in FBT. May be you have holding in emlaze or even motion media.

Don't start Haystack on MMD . . . :)

I wouldn't buy MMD at any price. I have sold my Emblaze some time ago, luckily at a much higher price.

I told you not to start him on MMD . . .

Actually, don't start me on MMD, either.

this is intresting
so what about MMD ssssssssssssssss

MMD is a long story and one that I fear will end badly. It is now called Scotty and its epic code is SCO (reverse takeover of an Austrian company called Scotty).

still ticking up

A few days rise for a stock that has been falling for 11 months straight is not a surprise at the moment. Its problems are long term fundamentals. It is possible to make money trading FBT from time to time, but its real value is probably about 4p.

hastack WWWWHHHYYYY
ARE YOU SO DESPARATELY AGAINST IT??????????????????????????
I SEE ANOTHER 5 PENCE JUMP TOMARROW FINGERS CROSSED.

It is up .5p and has come back down from its highs today with two MMs marking it down.

I am against it because it an over hyped, over ramped stock that has very little value. If it wasn't for the fact that one person hold 85% of the company and causes it to be very illiquid, it would be about 2p.

It only has a turnover of 40,000.

A day's share trades of 10,000 can make the market cap. go up by 1m. That's absurd straight away. I amazed that holders of FBT are so stupid to belive it is going to make any serious money. To justify the current share price it would need profits of over 1m and the turnover is only 40k.

It is a stock that can be traded of you are very careful, but at some strage I think it will fall like a stone and paeople will lose all their money.

This is most unlikely with Forbidden Technologies. This firm is well supported and has great potentials in its products and video-streaming technologies. At 35p, it is cheap and it is a good buy!

It is not well supported. It has almost no customers and a turnover of 40k.

Its products are non standard across the streaming media industry. The streaming media industry ha standardised on Mpeg-4 and virtually all content is encoded in Mpeg-4 or its variants - Real, Windows Media and Quicktime.

Who do you think actually uses FBT's system?

There's almost no chance of FBT ever acvieving high revenues. Their turnover would have to be several million pounds just to justify the current share price let alone any increase. Its net assets value is less than 3p a share. It makes a loss, has almost no turnover or customers and its cash burn increases every set of results.

Not too keen then Haystack ?

:-)

i guess iwas wrong it only moved 3.5 pence

Time will tell and you will see - buy at 37p today.

There is no substance to this company. They sell cheap streaming systems for people who do not want to do it properly. The current share price would need profits of over 1m to justify it. The turnover is only 40k. It is a company run as a hobby with the turnover of a peanut vendor.
