It seems that everyone and their mother is releasing a TV phone. Anyone who remembers the 1980s will also remember that the pocket televisions of the time were, well, not very popular. Perhaps it was the 3 foot aerials, or a world not ready for this futuristic tech, but it might just be that nobody wanted it.
With less and less people watching television and opting for YouTube or other streamed media, putting old fashioned, schedule based broadcasts out there on a mobile is either a genius move or futile.
Nevertheless, Sagem is on the bandwagon with the DVB-H myMobileTV. The 2.2in screen flips and spins, so you can watch with the clamshell closed. The picture will also change orientation if you move the handset, although not as smoothly as the iPhone manages. It multitasks, too, so you can SMS or call your friends while watching the latest goings on on Big Brother.
There's also a 2MP camera, EDGE, Bluetooth (stereo), MicroSD and, interestingly, TV out.
