You’ve probably saw Kanye on Sunday night during MTV’s VMA awards when he interrupted country singer Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech to say that Beyonce deserved the award. If you didn’t see it, i bet my life that you’ve heard about it or seen it on the Internet somewhere, because this is the new meme that is going on right now.

Remember my post on how to boost MobileSafari?Well if you do, than you remember that there was a plugin that gave you the ability to view flash videos on webpages and eliminates that stinky missing plugin icon.Well this is something similar.
I bet you want me to answer some questions for you. Well let’s do that :
Q : What is it called?
A : iMobileCinema
Q : Is it a flash player?
A : Hell no!
Q : Is it better?
A : Not yet.
Q: Works with .swf?
A: Nope
Q: What about .flv?
A : Well it has to work with something , right?
Q : If i already have this feature from the addons pack that you showed me in the previous post, why do i need this? It’s exactly the same, really do u have some new stuff for me or not?
A : Yep. Well you might not want this right now, but according to their blog , in the near future you will get this :
Some live broadcast sites are using rtmp protocol to deliver videos, e.g., mtv.com, hulu.com. We’ll try to support the protocol later. And playing embedded mp3, like singsbox.com, is a good idea and we’ll try to support it too.
Q : Oh wow, that’s cool! OK , OK, how can i get this?
A : Well , like all good stuff that are happening to the iPhone and/or iPod Touch , you can get this thru Cydia. First you need to add this source : http://d.imobilecinema.com , than you just search for iMobileCinema and install the package.
Q : Anything else that i should be aware about?
A : Hmm… not really. But you might wanna check out iMobileCinema’s Blog
