But those are among the nominees for the first Emmy award to be given by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for outstanding original programming for computers, cellphones and other hand-held devices, including the video iPod. The academy, which is best known for handing out the Daytime Emmy Awards, announced the nominees on Monday and will name a winner on April 22."</i><br /><br />What is really interesting about this, is that the new category received the most entries of any category, ever! Looks like mobile video is here to stay. So, what do you want to watch on your phone today? ;)
