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."

Donald Duck is going to have a SCREAMING ORGASM when he gets ahold of one of these. Especially if he can use it to watch Daisy Duck pr0n.

Those moronic few have caused enough headaches for several states/cities to make driving & talking on a cell phone ILLEGAL. Do you really think those communities are going to allow you watch TV and drive?
I was once ticketed for having headphones on even though I had not committed any traffic/moving violations.
