So how exactly do I get MobiTV?

Monday, May 1st, 2006

They’ve got 1 million subscribers as of this April, 2006. They bring the Discovery Channel, CNN, Bloomberg, The History Channel and other cool programs to you whenever and wherever you go. They come to you via Java ME, and they’re called MobiTV.

So, if I had one of those “lower-end” devices like the Nokia 6682, or the Motorola Razr, it would be a snap to download the Java ME application OTA via a MediaNet portal entry page. Snap to reality, where I have a Nokia 9300, a smartphone that (seemingly) has no Cingular MediaNet portal entry. I’ve searched far and wide on the web, but there does not seem to be a way via a JAD or JAR file to get this baby into my baby.

It sucks to be one of the few who opts for a smartphone.
