Samsung has shown off a “new” mobile phone, the “SGH-P960″ in response to the EU choice of DVB-H as the Euro Mobile TV standard. This builds on previous P9xx series devices, to provide a 2.6-inch QVGA screen and 3.0MP camera.
A number of device manufacturers support DVB-H (notables including Nokia, Motorola, LG, and of course Samsung), but as several sources have pointed our recently (including myself), the uptake hasn’t exactly been stellar.
However, the more devices that include a DVB-H chip (Nokia’s N96 was the last big announcement before this one), the better the chances DVB-H has at growing in to a commercially-feasible service.
Now all we need are a ton more devices, and some network rollouts, and we could be cookin’!

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.
