New York – Modeo reaffirmed its commitment to push DVB-H mobile TV technology past cellphones into “anything with a screen” and beyond traditional cellular carrier distribution channels to include potential partnerships with cable TV operators, retailers and digital media providers.
“DVB-H will be like Bluetooth in a few years,” said Modeo handset VP Kari Lehtinen. “Every device will get it sooner or later.”
Lehtinen made his comments to analysts, press and media executives during an event where John Kelly, CEO of Modeo parent Crown Castle, said the company wants to embed its technology into “anything with a screen,” including portable game players, portable media players, PDAs, notebook PCs and cellphones.
The race for success in the mobile TV market “won’t be decided by initial distribution deals,” added Modeo president Mike Ramke, underscoring the company’s original intent to incorporate its technology in a variety of handheld devices, not just cellphones.

Oh Yes!

We are rapidly headed towards a time when the distinctions between cell phones, PDA's, mp3 & media players and game units become meaningless. The putative iPhone is just the first step on the road to true mobile integration.

Watch this space.
