More Mobile TVs
It seems like everyone wants a piece of the mobile phone/TV convergence world these days. Now comes the news that Dutch digital TV operator Digitenne and Nokia are testing TV on mobile phones. It still seems like something a redux of Sony's failed experiment from the 80s of making handheld TVs, but it could be interesting if anyone figures out how to make it (a) work well and (b) actually take advantage of the phone/connected part to make an application that's more than just a portable TV.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
