"...any Wi-Fi enabled player..."? So that would include Nokias, Sony-Ericssons, HTC, and Wi-Fi enabled dogs and cats and duck-billed platypuses, presumably? So why are iBling products worthy of special mention? In every, single, sodding, tech article?

I really don't understand it. Just imagine if we started getting a stream of articles like,

"This petrol can be used in any car, including the Renault BlahDiBlah."

"Blauplunkt have developed a new car stereo. It fits any car, including the Renault BlahDiBlah."

"And now the traffic information, which applies to everybody, including drivers of the Renault BlahDiBlah."

Sure we have digital television, but are there any plans to get DVB-H rolled out across the UK? Ever?

The only thing that'll drive it is if sales of these DVB-H receivers, along with over-inflated Mobile TV subscriptions, are forced down already stuffed consumers throats.

...not going to happen from me.

I dont see much of a requirement for it in the UK, especially considering the level of investment required to get the transmitters upgraded to support what is essentially a niche thing.

I dont think I'm being too cynical, I'm just recalling the On-Digital -> ITV Digital -> market collapse -> Freeview fiasco?!

The places you are most likely to ever watch mobile TV: bored antisocial passenger in car, train or tube are exactly the places it's clearly not going to bloody work because well, you're moving for a start and in the case of the tube, like underground.

Just another thing to run your battery down and frustrate those punters naive enough to think it might actually work.

Ah, but you're missing the point.

Next it will be an iPhone HSPA add-on.

- an iPhone 5MP digital Camera Add-on

- an iPhone GPS Add-on

- an iPhone MMS Add-on

- an iPhone SMS for Groups Add-on

Then some bright spark will re-package it as an N96........
