- PacketVideo has a new receiver which can pump mobile TV over good ol' WiFi.
PV claims the device will ultimately ship before the year is out in versions supporting
over-the-air DVB-H and MediaFLO broadcasting as well as TDtv and WiMAX streaming.
Although it's presumably compatible with any WiFi device, they specifically cite
support for the the iPhone, N-Series Nokias and HTC devices while demonstrating
the device with an iPod touch at Mobile World Congress. The 6.4 x 1.8 x 4-cm block
is powered by a lithium-ion battery of unspecified capabilities. Although it's
not stated, we assume the received television can be shared with multiple devices
over that wireless link -- else why bother with WiFi? source:
