What is a channel?
A channel in the Flash Cast portal is a lightweight, dynamic Flash mobile application that delivers content to a consumer from Adobe Mobile Server via an operator’s mobile network as part of an integrated and branded channel lineup. Each channel typically contains a data feed and is available for subscription from a catalog on the device.
A channel is simply a technology used to conduct a survey. Mobile Researcher supports several channels including mobile application, WAP and SMS channels. Each channel has its own features and limitations. The mobile application channel is the most feature-rich mobile channel available but has slightly greater handset requirements than the WAP channel for example.
