Television On Your Cell Phone

XopherMV writes "MobiTV is billed as the first streaming service to broadcast real-time video to cell phones. Offered by Sprint, it costs an additional $9.99 monthly, is adding new channels, and supports various handsets. My phone features 21 channels, some of them typical broadcast channels like Fox Sports and MSNBC, while others are designed for the mobile environment, such as NBC Mobile. What's it like to watch TV on a cell phone? The TV junkie in me says it's great. I really like the idea that I can pull my cell phone out of my pocket and catch up with the latest news and sports scores in an instant. Read on at MSN."

I'd rather have annotated radio

The screens are too small for good TV watching.

TV programs that take this into account would work, but even so, I think radio is a Bigger Win.

You can augment radio with things like instant polling, charts, hyperlinks, and other goodies.

Here's an idea:
24 hour traffic and weather reports tailored to the cell towers you are closest to.

Gee, I hope nobody tries to patent "sending video signals over a wireless device." There's a wee bit of prior art on that, and I'm afraid our poor beleagured patent office might miss it.
