BBC launches mobile phone TV
Episodes of the Doctor Who and Red Dwarf TV shows will be
beaming into a mobile phone near you by next month, following a deal between
the BBC and Rok Player. This will mark the Beeb’s first tentative step into
mobile phone TV services, something everyone is over-hyping but few are
offering. Here’s how it works: you buy a Digital Video Chip (DVC) for around
£17 which slots into any phone with a multimedia-card reader. 
It looks as if
Nokia has first dibs though as the chip will start selling first from Rok,
Nokia stores and Choices Video. Doctor Who’s ‘The Five Doctors’ episode will be first up
along with four episodes of Red Dwarf. More details here.
