During the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last week PacketVideo introduced a pocket sized mobile broadcast receiver. The device promises to turn WiFi enabled phones and media players into mobile TVs. According to PV CEO James C. Brailean, Ph.D, “removing the barrier of upgrading to an entirely new handset will significantly accelerate the adoption of mobile broadcast services by mainstream consumers.”

The device works by decoding digital TV signals and converting them for use on phones or other media devices, then sending them via a wireless signal such as WiFi to the playback device. PacketVideo
