HTC launching new DMB cellphone

Ok, we're expecting to be very sick of hearing about how mobile TV is the next big thing by the end of 3GSM, but since it's only the first day we're still relatively unjaded by the news that tomorrow Microsoft honcho Steve Ballmer is going to show off a new Windows Mobile-powered phone from HTC that comes with a built-in DMB receiver for watching digital TV broadcasts. We don't have a model name for the phone -- at least not yet -- but we do know that the phone'll be capable of receiving broadcasts from that new digital television BT and Virgin Mobile are rolling out in the UK later this year.
