SailTV in your pocket

This might be a posting for the dedicated gizmo-freaks. But since I'm one of these and sailors tend to have a high rate of the high income, high educated and high-tech users on the dockside, I'm going to give it a go.

Salt PR pushed to get SEILtv, the Norwegian based web-TV for SEILmagasinet, launched in Apples iTunes.
