The idea of streaming live Mobile TV to a smartphone or Internet tablet, without actually using it's data connection seems to be quite an interesting one, and that's exactly the reason why the people over at iMovee developed the Mobeo, a tiny accessory that will help iOS, Android and Windows Phone 7 users to enjoy TV programs wherever they might be, at a lower overall cost.
The Mobeo is a wireless accessory supporting all of the platforms mentioned above (whether implemented on smartphones or
tablets), enabling the connected devices to receive
Mobile TV broadcasts.
Moreover, it's interesting to point out that the Mobeo is a trully international device, as it supports various broadcast Digital TV technologies, including ATSC-MH for the USA, ISDB-T for Latin America, DVB-T for Europe, all enabled by the built-in Siano mobile TV receiver chips.
"iMovee focuses on developing innovative products that revolutionize the way consumers watch and enjoy TV on the go," said iMovee's CEO and founder, Maxel Rapheal, adding that "Mobeo is the latest addition to our product line-up, providing a truly unique experience to the multimedia savvy consumers of today, who are highly demanding in their user experience and not willing to compromise on the receiver performance.”
“This is why we have chosen to work with Siano as our MDTV receiver partner – not only do we get a complete product coverage across multiple regions in the world, but we know that the products provide the best receiver sensitivity, mobility and power consumption," iMovee's CEO concluded.
"The set of features offered by Mobeo is a perfect fit to contemporary viewing habits," said Alon Ironi, CEO of Siano, adding that "young viewers nowadays tend to combine social networking while they are engaged in other activities, and the Mobeo answers just that. We believe it will increase TV ratings among youth."
Unfortunately, iMovee has not yet revealed any details regarding the Mobeo's market availability, but we're keeping our fingers crossed and hope that it will manage to make it to the market over the course of 2011.
