Yes, mobile TV has truly arrived. Verizon Wireless upped the ante when it switched on its V Cast Mobile TV service in March, 2007. Unlike 3G video offerings (including the Verizon's EV-DO V Cast (http://review.zdnet.com/Verizon_V_Cast/4505-9242_7-31299289.html?tag=txt) streaming video service), Mobile TV uses a portion of UHF spectrum that's different from the one used for standard over-the-air TV broadcasts. That means a stunning viewing experience with no waiting for streaming video to buffer. As such, the cellular and TV signals are independent from one another, and you don't need any signal-strength bars to watch the TV programming. Currently, only the Samsung SCH-u620 (http://review.zdnet.com/Samsung_SCH_U620_Samsung_Mobi/4505-6454_7-32160879.html?tag=txt) and the LG VX9400 (http://review.zdnet.com/LG_VX9400/4505-6454_7-32306520.html?tag=txt) support Mobile TV.
