Samsung Sends Satellite TV to Cell Phones
"Samsung Electronics is developing a cellular telephone that can receive multimedia programming broadcasts via satellite, the company says. The new phone, which is still in the development stage, is expected to be compatible with a new satellite broadcasting service that is planned to launch in South Korea and Japan later this year.
The planned handset will be based around a new chip developed by Samsung which was announced this week. The chip includes an Arm processor core and can decode the satellite broadcasts as well as functions such as billing for pay-per-view services, the company says."
Pretty cool idea, but I don't relish the idea of people watching TV on their phones...unless they have headphones. ;-)
