You need a way better name. waylive.com is for sale!

Sometimes when I'm on my iPhone there are videos that I want to really see, but can't because they're not playable on it for different reasons. I then forget about them. So maybe something like this for mobile phones would be cool.

You can actually email that link to bookmark@getdenso.com (from Mobile Safari) and it will bookmark that video.

love it ;-) Been using it for just a month now :) Convenient on the go podcast!

Any connection with the Japanese car components manufacturer?
iamclovin
Nope :) Denso means "transmission" in Japanese (which is sort of what we do), but yeah the car component company did come up during our research.

Nice - Looks very interesting.

How do you differentiate from Radbox (radbox.me) ?
iamclovin
You should try it out ;) but we think we have a killer iTunes integration feature which lets you watch your videos on your iOS devices.

richierich
does it work on the ipad??
andycroll
It does, we currently have an iTunes podcast approach but a native app is coming.

If you guys could also hook this up with http://www.plexapp.com/ so I could watch things on sofa that I'd saved while via mobile. I'd be a very happy guy.
iamclovin
Plex and Boxee are both very much in our plans!

I really like the basic feel of the product. Just a couple of points:

a) I don't want it to send me an email every time I bookmark a video. I see no way changing the email preferences?

b) I archived one of the videos & now it is no where to be seen. Am I looking in the wrong place?

andycroll
a) Fair. We'll sort that! c) You're not, we need to enable that too. Originally it was delete, but we're going with a more Instapaper-y vibe. You might want to go back...
gshahlot
Great! Just out of curiosity:

a) Why is every video added to a download queue by default, instead of keeping it on-demand?

b) Any legal consequences of allowing users to download copyrighted videos illegally uploaded on youtube & other video sites? Think music videos, tv series.

It looks better than MediaMall's PlayLater. Very nice. Not sure if I'm seeing this correctly, but "And watch when you want, offline!". OFFLINE!? On any device? How?

Once you've bookmarked a video, you'll see a link to add your personalized podcast to iTunes.

So you can sync with your iPad / iPhone, etc...
