8.4 Using Streaming Media

Streaming Media lets you stream live broadcasts or on-demand media content from the web. The media is
sent in a continuous stream to your device and is played as it arrives, along with the audio.
The Streaming Media program allows you to play 3GP and MPEG-4 files. It also supports playback of SDP
(Session Description Protocol) files.

media content then play the content in the Streaming Media program.
