PacketVideo used MWC to launch their Mobile Broadcast Receiver Product – which is a smallish device that receives DVB-H signals, and then streams them out over WiFi – clever!
DVB-H is a component of the constantly hot news that is Mobile TV, and the fact that companies are looking to deliver these “DVB-H dongles”, shows another innovative way in which DVB-H could be enabled for devices that don’t include the receiver chip at point of manufacture.
There wasn’t much detail on the dongle, other than the fact that (a) it can be recharged via USB and (b) it’s using a Lithim-Ion battery. Oh and one thing – it’s being aimed at Operators, not direct to the consumer. Boo.
