Mobile Digital TV Starts Testing in Finland
Posted by Filip Norrgard in "NEWS" @ 12:00 AM
"The world's first commercial testing of mobile phone TVs started on Tuesday in the Helsinki area. The purpose of the test is to find out how interested the Elisa and TeliaSonera operators' 500 test clients of various ages would be in watching TV programmes on their mobile handsets. The test users were given - until midsummer - the new Nokia 7710 media phones with an accessory device attached to the back cover to enable television viewing."
I saw this phone-TV-combo in action on the news and it did look promising and definitely better working than the old analog pocket TV viewers from the last century. Personally, I wish I could be one of the lucky testers and I'm eagerly awaiting the spread of mobile digital TV. Especially for those Formula 1 and other sporting events that I want to watch live - not recorded - also in places outside my home.
How many of you would be interested in testing mobile digital TV?
