Apple may not think that their iPhone is ready for video, but it looks like the cellular industry thinks the time is now to support scenarios such as this. In an USA Today article several cellphone providers are talking up how you might be able to watch TV on your cellphone. Sounds good to me.
All of this makes me wonder how MIDs and UMPCs might fit into this. Assuming they have they connectivity, will the video experience be up to par or will the setup assume very small displays?
I also think any video watching scenario needs to assume that people will be watching videos from services such as YouTube. Gone are the days of exclusively watching TV networks or shows from major movie studios.
This is going to be very interesting to watch. 🙂
