Is it really THAT important to be able to watch vidoe or TV on a little tiny cell phone screen? I mean when I was a kid we had an old black and white tube type TV from the mid-sixties and it had a 14" screen. Now I watch TV on a 42" HD flat screen... I mean who the heck wants to go back to the friggin dark ages? Are your lives really that busy, must you really know everything that's going on every minute of the day that you absolutely MUST watch TV on these little devices?
Apparently you've never been bored at an airport, you might not want to lug around a laptop. I will take my smartphone with me to airports so I can use their free wifi, and if the wait is long enough I'll actually watch some streaming media to kill time, at least until the battery runs out.
reply to Meandyou Being a diabetic, I log a lot of hours in doctors waiting rooms. Having access to my DVR via my slingbox / iphone is a wonderful way to catch up on my shows while waiting to see the doctor.
