Cydle has decided that CES would be a good time to unveil it’s new flagship product:, a portable, pocket-size ATSC TV Receiver.
The Cydle i30 is compliant with ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) Mobile DTV, which is the technical standard that defines mobile digital TV (DTV) broadcasting in the US. The standard enables local TV stations to broadcast to mobile devices on the frequency they already use. The Cydle i30 is designed for smartphones through the new ATSC Mobile DTV standard.
“If you use a smartphone and want to watch your favorite television shows in real-time, now you can,” said Woody Lee, U.S. director of sales, Cydle. “The Cydle i30 a real achievement, given how versatile smartphones already are. Whether looking at form factor or functionality, the i30 complements today’s devices extremely well.”
The Cydle i30 also includes a novel battery-sharing system, which ensures that the smartphone doesn’t run out of juice mid-call, mid-message or mid-program, by tapping the i30’s power source.
Once we get some pics of the device itself, we’ll be sure to post them up, gallery-fashion!

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.
