   Gee, there are so much TV standards out there! I don't even listen TV at all so I find that it's just lost R&D. Give me a full-packed satellite subscription and I'm 100% sure that I will find everything boring. There's absolutely nothing interesting on TV![Edited by DragonMaster on 2006-01-18 20:05:31]

   Awesome!!!! mobile TV sounds like its getting better. But to me, this post seems like an act, to provoke the competition.

   I don't watch a lot of television, so I don't have any vested interests in the technology, but I have heard a lot of buzz about the Slingbox. If I were to watch more television, it would certainly have to be mobile-ready from the start. I think that eventually all of these technologies will converge into one, and I'm pretty sure it will resemble a cross between a Personal Data Assistant (PDA) and a cell phone. But I could be wrong, it could be an implant in our brains that interfaces directly with our bodies. If Sprint is investing $10,000,000 in the technology, it must be going somewhere fast.

I can imagine kids whith their eyes almost literally glued to it trying to see the small people that are in a small screen!

   oh come on, not another standard war. I hate these companies that keep coming up with so many standards and we as consumer are suffering.

   Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't a standard something that has been adopted by the majority or a group/agency? I've always thought TDtv, HD-DVD, and the like were formats striving to become the standard.
