TV anywhere, anytime, on your mobile phone

For those that just can't stand being separated from the TV screen for long and also for those that simply need TV in order to stay informed

there is a new solution. Makayama software company now brings Pocket Live TV 1.0 on cellulars too.

The Mobile phones' display may be tiny for most TV program watching standards. Subtitles are a distant luxury and details don't seem to matter all that much for those that need mobile Pocket Live TV. Yes, the word 'need' is the most important, as this way of watching TV proves to be a solution for receiving TV information at a low quality standard. How else could it be, considering the almost frustrating fact that many image details are not comprehensible to the eye this way?

Pocket Live is a Windows Mobile application that brings 100 TV channels from 10 countries around the world. Among them, there are CNN, BBC, NBC, the Weather Channel, Sky News, as well as the most popular music and sports channels, depending on the country where the user resides. For this, it uses 3G and a Wi-Fi connectivity.

Broadcast is done over the Internet, so, if you want to watch all these television channels for free, a Wi-Fi equipped cellular is a must.

Makayama's CEO Vincent Verweij commented on the release of Pocket Live TV 1.0 that "No other software supports this many channels, from this many countries, in one package. We also designed the most intuitive two click interface that you can wish for mobile tv viewing. Go to a Starbucks or other free WiFi hotspot, and you can watch unlimited hours of free TV in the best possible quality."

Pocket TV Live can be installed on the mobile phone with no subscription fee, only in exchange for a one time software purchase price of USD19.95.
