HDTV comes to mobile phones

at the size of a mobile phone's screen, what difference could hd possibly make?

I'm more interested in a PDA or cell phone that does 1280x720????

oooh, iPod 6g... NICE!!!

this would fail as nobody would spent alot and the company cannot afford to do budget cell , dont get me wrong i like the ideal but this is going to fall right before it even starts

i think your wrong...

i think there's no real purpose for this.

i think i don't care... its cool!

i think you're addicted to useless technology :-P maybe this could somehow have an impact on the pricing of larger-scale hd. that's what i would like.

i think i want to know if you mean cheaper or dearer... and so what if i like useless sh*t

does anybody care about ipods anymore?

don't fire up the fanboys; we'll all get burned.

With this chip in it, maybe i'll get to watch about 45 minutes of a movie on my next iPod before the battery dies! Yeaahh!

craig, i already told you about that falsehood that makes your argument invalid. or, if we go with the traditional views of analogies as inductive arguments, it would be a weak argument, succumbing to my strong argument.

How about a phone that gets a signal everywhere?? What a thought!!!

They can make a satellite that can view objects from millions of lightyears away. They can make virtual reality a reality. They can clone sheep and other animals. But, they can't make

Anybody consider a portable video player/ mobile phone/ ipod that has an hdmi out so can play HD video on a big flat panel at full 720p, whats so bad about that ?

i know. the big car size battery, with ultra small cells, that you would need...

the purpose of this chip is not for cell phones, but probobly for personal video players, that have video out capabilities. there is no need to display high def on a small screen, especially considering how much bigger of a file a hd video would be. you would need a huge hard drive to playback that quality, unless you have a super highspeed streaming capability. this would be cool if your phone could hook up to your tv, but i think its mostly going to be used to prv's, like archos, that have huge hard drives 100+ gigs.

Q "at the size of a mobile phone's screen, what difference could hd possibly make?" A: Size is not the issue, it's clarity. With a smaller screen, more clarity is important. To get all those pixels in there 1280*720 92160 they have to make dot pitch very small. This also requires a powerful processor to run a smooth pagination, frame rate, and buffer for clean OTA (over the air) trasmission. Now, if we can only get cell phone TIVO ? We just need a holographic media disc about the size of your fingernail capable of holding about 12 gb, and we can have an HD movie on the phone - Now that's addiction to technology. P.S. One day - your grand children will call that OLD SCHOOL

Watch movies on your dawm tv , this is why you bought it!!!!!!!

Owning a television makes no sense. Anything I want to watch can be done on a monitor. So whether you have an HD monitor at 80" Plasma or a 3.5 LCD on your phone, content is HD, and mobile content is both personable and portable.
