Funnily enough I read that and wondered what the point of miniature 
pay TV would be.  Then I wondered how long it will be before what 
they are offering includes an adapter to let you plug the phone into 
your existing TV to see a full size (and full quality) picture (iPod 
style).  I doubt the data compression is available yet to do it, but 
it would certainly be an interesting offering.
