While it sure seems that
MediaFLO, DVB-H, and T-DMB broadcast technologies are set to bring the pain to mobile
digital television pioneers MobiTV this year,
don't count the old dog out just yet. Today MobiTV announced a partnership with Microsoft to bring their flavor of mobile DTV to Windows
Mobile powered phones and devices, as well as XP-based PCs and laptops. The love-in means MobiTV will make use of
Microsoft's Windows Media platform, including their DRM, audio and video codecs, and Windows Media Player for content
delivery and consumption. The technology will be on display at CTIA where we'll be sure to check it out in our live
