If you're American, don't even pretend you care about this. 'Cause you don't care about mobile TV at all, and we've got
the facts to prove it. For those parked in Japan, though, you have every right to get jazzed. Softbank's
1seg TV tuner / battery charger has finally been loosed on the carrier's home turf, and the lucky cats over at
DVICE were able to acquire one and give it a whirl. Setup was said to be a breeze, the 1seg pickup was crystal clear and the device itself was satisfactorily lightweight. As for downsides, the entire app is in Japanese, and even with the extra juice, watching TV on the go zapped the life out in around an hour with brightness maxed.
