Japan: USB joint to vigil TV on iPhone!
MobileCrunch has picked up an interesting floor from AV Watch – who themselves have spotted a USB radio that plugs in to your TV, and then streams out 1-Seg (that’s a Japanese TV standard) formatted TV that your iPhone/iPod Touch can choice up via an App run over wireless local area network. Nice.
The iPhone has been at somewhat of a disadvantage for a time, because unlike a draw of other phones in Japanese Islands, it can’t natively pick up a TV signal – Japan is one of the places where Mobile River TV has worked (but there are a number of specific reasons for that….), so this little turn of outfit solves an issuing for citizenry who need their TV locating.
The USB device is called the SEG Clip, and is sold by I-O information (check it here, effigy from that source also BTW) – it follows a previous gimmick that was more of a standalone unit from Softbank (OTCPK: SFTBF) Mobile – that one was it’s own receiver, transmitted the information by wireless local area network, but also two-base hit as an extra battery if you plugged it in to an iPhone.
Personally I think the summation of the portable battery office is an extremely valid – in fact, I’d even considering buying one to hold my iPhone juiced when I’m out and about! If I had to add TV to that, I wouldn’t be complaining
