"Mobunga, which launches today in public beta, is a guide to video downloads for the iPod, PSP and mobile phones.  But this isn't the YouTube of mobile video - Mobunga doesn't host or let you play videos, but rather provides a directory of videos hosted on other sites.  Clips are represented by a thumbnail and description, with all the usual social features piled on top - rating, commenting, tagging, favorites and sharing via email.  More importantly, there's a direct download link to put the video on your device.\nThere are also lists of the most popular videos, the highest rated clips, the most popular searches and the top tags.  Another welcome addition: the ability to subscribe to RSS feeds by date, category or format.  If you want to subscribe to all the latest clips for your video iPod, for instance, you can.  And being a community directory, users can submit links to their own videos along with a thumbnail.  What I don't see is much of a social networking element: when a user leaves a comment, you can't click their name and skip over to a public profile, for instance.  That would allow users to share their favorites, and perhaps make the site a bit more dynamic. \nIn many ways, Mobunga is like Digg for mobile video, but they were smart to devise a new interface and avoid the \"Digg clone\" label.  By focusing on mobile, they also differentiate themselves from YouTube, Google Video and MySpace Video - but bear in mind that Google already offers mobile downloads.  It's actually a very nice attempt with a really slick design, but where it really feels lacking is the fact that you can't view the videos on the site -  for a service that's supposedly focused on video, it's infuriating that you can't even preview what you're about to download.  You could  jump over to the host site, of course, but many of these are slow-loading pages like official movie websites, and most of the links don't go directly to the videos.  That's not Mobunga's fault, but it does make the process a bit more time consuming.\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
