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.

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
