Mobile TV is not that useless as some people seem to think. Once there was a time when I went to another city often, it took me at least two hours to be back home and it was usually between 9pm and midnight. So I missed my two favorite TV shows: the late night news and a talk show. The image was critical in neither, sound was what mattered most. But I had neither. I would love to have had TV at that time. Many people still have to travel or commute often, I bet they would love to have TV on a Curve, small screen and everything.

Thanks for catching that Jeff. Luc already told me about it before. I changed it to clarify the meaning but it will confuse some people in the US.
I could care less is a common American English saying as you can see

and http://dictionary.reference.com/help/faq/language/g09.html
But I can see how it could confuse non-Americans

Nitpicky, but the phrase is not “I could care less about mobile TV,” it’s “I COULDN”T care less about mobile TV.”

The one you’ve used means that “I have the ability to care less,” implying that I actually quite like it.

Isn’t OS 4.5 (or was it 4.6) said to support divx/xvid? If true, will be quite nice for me as it will beat having to transcode everything I want to watch mobile.

I don’t really care about mobile tv because the screen is too small. i dont even care for watching videos on an iphone. I’m used to watching tv on big, flatscreen tv’s. But it should be an option for people who want it.
