Mobile broadcast service coming soon

PLANS ARE on the way to provide a TV service which will broadcast to mobile devices such as phones, MP3 players and in car entertainment systems.

Twenty two US cities announced yesterday that they plan to broadcast their signals this year. This will provide a free service broadcasting news, local information and the possibility of helping raise awareness of disasters such as hurricanes.

There’s just one slight problem with getting this service up and running – there are not yet any compatible devices on the market. The issue is, no one’s going to make a device to receive this type of signal if it is not being broadcast, and stations aren’t going to broadcast the signal if there are no devices to pick it up.

Once this slight hiccup is resolved, you might find yourself with a useful mobile service. μ

We can combine 3 technologies into 1!!! ;)

Let's combine the Veoh walk and watch tv at the same time glasses with NVIDIA's 3d pornography(we'll just transmit the converted stuff as new video) then transmit it to a wireless device to play the signal.

VOILA!!! You can be a pervert on the New York Subway without anyone being the wiser.

Ain't technology grand? ;)
