VTap was a video search engine launched on 10 September 2007. It was designed for broadband-enabled phones[1] and developed by venture capitalist firm Veveo.[2] The company claimed VTap had a huge index of web videos comparable to the biggest video portals,[3] providing a search-and-browse system that enabled finding videos from a huge network database even using devices such as phones and televisions.[4] Videos could be played on a number of phones including iPhones, Windows Mobile phones, several Nokia phones. and the BlackBerry wireless device.[5] [6][7][8] Veveo's network servers converted the original format on-the-fly into a format that could stream and play on the specific phone in question.

VTap's basic search technology was not specific to videos. The service also provided a phone-enhanced Wikipedia search service. The same technology could also be used to enhance remote-control based TV Listings and VOD search offered by IPTV and cable television operators.[9]
