Samsung Puts Satellite TV in Cell Phones
prostoalex writes "Japanese subscribers will be able to get 70 television channels with a new cell phone, currently developed and tested by Samsung. Using an ARM microprocessor, Samsung makes it possible to receive satellite TV transmissions in 2.6 GHz range. No dish is required, however, for clarity of the signal the company is currently installing a network of repeaters. This could substantially increase the number of satellite TV subscribers, which in the United States is still a distant second to cable television."
lets be honest Porn is the greatest driver of technology anywhere (VHS, Internet, DVD) ect.
Yeah, and let's not forget that's why we went to the moon. NASA engineers received a signal from the moon wich looked like a fantastic pron movie, of a quality unknown to mankind.
So they quicky launched a spacecraft with a few astronauts, and lots of condoms to see how hot those lunar babes were. Only to find out after making a little step on the moon that russians went there before, and installed a pron emiter directed on cap canaveral just to laugh at them. So, they quicky swapped the emiter with an american flag, said hello to the camera and went home with empty hands and fully fuelled balls.
