This week Daisy Whitney and I discuss the growth of mobile video and specifically new research that Cisco released earlier this week indicating massive increases in traffic over the next 5 years.

Of course mobile video has never suffered from a shortage of hype, but with the popularity of the iPhone and other smartphones, mobile video usage finally seems to be crystallizing in '09. Daisy and I discuss several apps, including one coming up this weekend from NBA.com and TNT whereby users will be able to watch 4 additional camera angles of the All-Star game on their iPhones.

Today I'm pleased to introduce the "VideoNuze Report," a weekly 10-15 minute podcast that I'll be doing with Daisy Whitney. Many of you have likely read Daisy's work in TV Week, OMMA, AdAge and other publications, as well as watched her "New Media Minute." She covers the broadband video and social media landscape as closely as anyone and become a great friend over the years.

Daisy and I have talked about the industry's goings-on countless times, and it finally dawned on us that maybe we should record some of our musings and record them as a podcast...So here we are! We're still tweaking the format, but initially we're each trying to add a little more color and back-story to a couple of the articles/posts we've written in the preceding week. It's pretty informal and definitely a work in progress. So we'd love to get your feedback on how we can improve the format and make it even more interesting.

This week we focus on key impressions from last week's Consumer Electronics Show, discussing the following:

"CES Marks Year of the Touch Screen" - Daisy, 1/11/09

"CES Attendance Takes a Significant Dip" - Daisy, 1/12/09

"Netflix and LG Go Over-the-Top with New 'Broadband HDTVs'" - Will, 1/5/09

"Yahoo Gets Traction in Broadband-to-TV Market" - Will, 1/8/09

In our maiden podcast, from December 23rd, we discuss the following:

"Web Video Hurdle: Good Recommendations" - Daisy, 12/21/08

"International Market a Growing Opportunity for Web Series" - Daisy, 12/21/08

"Recapping 5 Broadband Video Predictions for 2009" - Will, 12/22/08
