Last week, I wrote about Mobile Video Streaming industry and the fact that many start-ups are after this niche and revolutionizing the way mobile media has traditionally worked. One of these companies is Bambuser based out of Sweden. The company was announced as one of the most innovative Internet companies in Sweden and Mans Adler, Founder has been named as 2008 top Internet entrepreneur in the country by the “Internet World” magazine. The company is also nominated for Tech Crunch’s Best Mobile Start up award in Europe. Mans was kind enough to provide oviapplications with firm and well-focused answers to questions I posed to him recently. He can be reached at via email adler [at] bambuser.com or on Twitter.com/Manster.

First, tell me a bit about your company. How long have you been in business? How did you get started in it?

Bambuser was funded back in early 2007, November the same year we launched our service bambuser.com and was first to bring live video from mobile phone to flash on the web.

Mobile Video Streaming by Bambuser

Mobile streaming service is an interesting industry to watch. Services like Qik, Kyte, Flixwagon are all trying to nail down that perfect product offering and grow user adoption. Surly, enough Qik appears to be a popular product in this space and has received significant media coverage. They also seem to have a good relationship with Nokia and begining with this month’s release of Nokia N97, Qik comes pre-loaded onto all Nokia S60 based devices.

But this post is not about Qik but rather to focus on a Swedish start up Bambuser which just recently appeared on the Ovi store.
