So what's satellite TV on a DMB cellphone like anyway?

It's no secret that we're a bit masochistic when it comes to throwing down the latest South Korean DMB phone on ya'll. After all, DMB is still pretty much a Korea-only solution for digital multimedia broadcasting. Fortunately,
DigitalWorld Tokyo has written a good piece helping us all to understand what a day in the life of a DMB cellphone user is really like. They test the Samsung SCH-B250 in busy
(as in 10 million peeps, busy) downtown Seoul on the S-DMB service provided by TU Media. Amazingly, access to the 11 video and 26 audio channels was nearly flawless even in deep subway tunnels during the three hour test. Yeah, the phone was a bit bulky and heavy but the overall experience of viewing TV on a QVGA screen was still "very impressive." TU
Media keeps the media flowing around tall buildings and into the underground via a extensive network of terrestrial transmitter dishes scattered about the city. Cool, now we just gotta figure out how those crafty Koreans pressed a tasty orange flavored soda from sand.
