Samsung Shows Mobile TV Line-Up at CES
"Samsung today affirmed its global leadership in the burgeoning mobile TV category by demonstrating several world's firsts among its line-up of nine handsets crossing multiple mobile broadcasting platforms Satellite DMB (S-DMB), Terrestrial DMB (T-DMB), Media FLO and DVB-H. These various mobile broadcasting standards will bring large-volume multimedia, television and radio content direct to consumers via their mobile handset. Samsung is at the forefront of the mobile TV revolution and is currently in talks with operators in the U.S., Europe and China to bring mobile TV technology to the market in preparation for commercial launch of mobile TV services in 2006. In addition to showcasing seven of its Satellite and Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) phones, Samsung will unveil the SPH-B4100, the world's first dual DMB phone, enabling consumers to enjoy both S-DMB and T-DMB in one phone. With its unique landscape view design, the B4100 gives consumers a more ergonomic device for experiencing mobile TV. The phone also has a Picture-in-Picture (PIP) function allowing consumers to view S-DMB and T-DMB channels at the same time."
While none of these are Windows Mobile based devices, that we know of, I think it's clear to say that the consumer is going to get Mobile TV whether they like it or not. Not only are we getting Mobile TV, we're also getting Picture-In-Picture! How big a screen do you need to watch two programs on anyway? (I will post the entire press release in the reply to this post.)
