Scheduled for integration into mobile handsets and other portable devices beginning in March 2005, the DiBcom DIB7000(TM) digital TV chip features robust mobile DVB-T/H reception capability with ultra low- power consumption, providing an optimal integrated solution. Building on extensive experience of integrated circuit development for the mobile and portable reception of DVB-T in diverse products such as mobile car TV receivers, TV on laptop PCs, and portable LCD TVs, DiBcom is demonstrating the integration of the DIB7000 into mobile platforms exclusively at the 3GSM World Congress being held February 14-17, 2005, in Cannes, France."</i><br /><br />Yet another mobile TV solution. This one appears to be closer to reality than the others we've posted on. It's nice to see the <i>ultra low-power consumption</i> of this solution. I fear that too many companies are rushing to make mobile TV happen and they are not concerned with battery drain. Regardless, I'm still not sure how much I would watch live mobile TV, but all this talk is starting to get me a little excited. :wink:
