If you own one of the top of the line Nokia cellular phones, Nokia has unwrapped a piece of gadget-candy that will let you get a little bit more out of it.
The On-The-Go Mobile TV add-on cable plugs into Nokia's micro-USB port and brings you any available DVB-H signals available. This won't do you much good here in the states but the DVB digital TV broadcast standard is gaining a foothold in Asia and parts of Europe. DVB has seen tons of exposure in Korea and portable TV devices are quite commonplace.
The tiny USB Mobile TV device is barely more than a cable in size, but has a 3.5mm headphone jack for TV sound. Once you are plugged in you can use the tiny controls on the connector to change the channel and turn the volume up and down. The price is also pretty tiny at roughly $50 as well as the DVB signal, where available, is freely broadcast into the air. If you happen to live in an area where you have access to DVB, the On-The-Go Mobile TV should be available for order by the end of the year.
