The kids love watching video on iPods.

The phrase ‘mobile is a bubble’ is plain daft. Mobile is in it’s infancy and whilst Mobile TV smells of wee and poo, how and what we expect and ask of the device over the coming years will radically shift.

The iPhone is game changing in the same way the iPod was. The adage goes, ‘mobile, wallet, keys… good to go’ when one device is all three and an entertainment console and tool to interact with the world around you, you’ll be eating your bubble comment with pickled gherkins and wondering why on earth you decided to create a sentence of pure nonsense using your no doubt patented, ‘nonsense sentence generator’.

I would no more watch tv on my phone’s screen than I would hold the phone up to my ear to listen to the sound. Video peripherals are available and better ones are in the pipeline. Driving a micro oled screen is not a battery killer.

CD-roms were a bubble, home computing is a bubble. Nothing is permanent. So?

[...] …television and music content have become more like software than they are different, and the release of the iPhone App Store is a significant new platform for the intersection of what formerly were seen as two different products. [MORE] [...]

I agree, I wouldn’t be interested in watching too much television on my mobile… battery would die in an instant and I’d rather sit back and watch it on the real tube.

I just don’t ever see watching TV on a mobile device ever becoming hugely popular. I maybe too old to get it but the experience just isn’t there on a mobile device. Even my favorite shows I will wait till I get home to my big screen before watching on my mobile.

“But the DVR has changed everything”.

Wait-wait-wait. I thought Twitter has changed everything. Surprise-a-day, Steve, eh?

Wake up and smell the coffee! Those who cannot see the future are condemned to miss the opportunity.

TV on the iPhone would definitely be a Battery-Killer. Plus how good would the quality be??

Ummm, they already have that. It’s called txt’ing in your vote to American Idol.

People are already remixing a lot of show clips on YouTube, and TV shows like extra or the soup are using a lot of content from the internet. It will get more advanced of course, but I don’t think people will suddenly start watching new tv shows on iphones en masse and using their phones as weird wands.

mobile is a bubble. there is only so much people will ever do on a mobile device. than its time to get there hands dirty and do some work. miniature mobile tv is just another toy for app geeks to brag about. simplicity apps will be king of mobile. Location, Location, Location on earth as it is in cyberspace. sorry fellas no rocket science here.
