Does Mobile TV Have a Future? (A look at Mobile... - Sarah Perez

with projectorphones? sure. - mjc

sure it does if the quality is good enough - Cee Bee

I can't see watching television on a 3" screen. - Sergio Cruz

As an independent device, no. - Amit Morson

Mobile TV is quite hot here in Hong Kong and even more so in Japan and South Korea. Me personally have very little need for it, but that could be, in my opinion, the lack of good content here in HK. - Vinko

The number of PCs & devices with mobile TV were really high this year. Was cool to see. Of course, with caveats that may not be available in US. - Lora Heiny

Only in Japan and Europe. There's no easy way to get mobile TV in the US unless you want to carry around a huge antennae. - Rodfather

Rodfather, my understanding of the tech is that the Digital standards negate the need for an external antennae.As for the future: nope. People are no more likely going to watch tv on their phones than they will at home, and we know the direction that's heading. The future is on demand web video - Duncan Riley

Hmmm, I've had TV on my mobile phone for 4 years now. My current phone is the first one where it's standard and I don't have to pay for it. I don't watch TV at home, so I thought watching out would be lame. Honestly, it's a great way to catch up on news (I have 5 live news stations) and when it had Chappelle Show on it, it was a great time passer. Now, I only turn it on when I have the kids with me and we have a long wait ahead of us (it has Nick, Nick Jr. & Noggin--taped and On Demand). - Anika

thanks Duncan for that. I was trying to get that out to someone yesterday. the cable companies will wholly own content and resell to those with "digital" access. - tony

It's a lot easier to pick up over-the-air TV signals in Japan and Europe. I just can't imagine the masses paying for TV service through their cell service using EVDO/3G. Not unless it's a lot cheaper and the bandwidth for cell services are much higher. - Rodfather
