Streaming
Streaming is a data transfer method making multimedia
available in real-time, that is you can, for example, listen to
audio and watch video almost at the same time as it is sent.
The data in the file is broken into small packets that are sent in a
continuous flow, a stream.You can then begin viewing the file
from the beginning as the rest of the packets are sent. The short
delay at the start is to enable a small amount of data to be
buffered.
Your P800 can receive streaming multimedia.
