Never Watch TV-Alone by Martin Malii-Karlsson
My intention was to write this post after attending the ip TV world forum 2008 in March at Olympia in London.
To come home full of inspiration and write about the latest innovations etc…but NO!
It was just a big hype, not any groundbreaking news… more information about who were manufacturing the boxes that were going to be delivered to client x.
Nosey as usual I asked a lot of questions e.g. Whats the point of having a box instead of just log into good old www…and view the content on line on a big screen?
Anyway…one clever solution developed by NEC captured my attention for a while. It was a broadcasting solution where you basically could watch a programme on TV and then continue watch it over the mobile phone in real time.
Imagine if you watch eastenders and must leave for an important meeting. You could then keep watching the program on your phone while you rushing out of the house and jumping on the bus.
