WirelessDevNet.com Press Release
Softel vdm, Inc. Releases MyTinyTV: Live TV for Pocket PCs
PUNTA GORDA, Fla., -- Couch potatoes may soon be a
thing of the past, thanks to Softel vdm, Inc.'s release of MyTinyTV 1.0
(http://www.mytinytv.com). The program allows anyone to watch real-time
television on a Pocket PC - on the road across the Internet and wherever WiFi
is available, which gives viewers many more exciting seating options than the
living room sofa.
"MyTinyTV allows the user to watch television on a Pocket PC by the pool,
on the porch, in the garage, on the roof, anywhere their wireless network
reaches," explained Mike van der Meulen, Softel vdm president. "On the road,
MyTinyTV can be used across the Internet via wireless broadband and at any
WiFi hot spot. No matter where it's used, it provides all the channels the
user's cable or antenna receives."
MyTinyTV works with a desktop PC's television tuner connected to the
home's cable or antenna, sending the user's cable or antenna television
channels and listings through a wireless network to their Pocket PC. The
system includes an interface for the user's Pocket PC with channel up/down
buttons, full listings and the ability to click for show descriptions and
detailed programming information. Unlike other Pocket PC television services,
MyTinyTV is not a subscription for Internet TV.
Surprisingly, watching television on a Pocket PC isn't that much different
from the real thing. In fact, reports Softel vdm, a Pocket PC held at a
comfortable viewing distance appears as large as a 27-inch television as
viewed from across the room.
To help kick off MyTinyTV, Softel vdm is offering free, fully functional
seven-day demo downloads of the product. "We invite people to download our
free demo of MyTinyTV and test it on their own computers," said Mike van der
Meulen. "After downloading our MyTinyTV installation, running it and following
the prompts, they should be up and running in no time. We think once they have
enjoyed MyTinyTV for a week, they'll want to have live TV on their Pocket PCs
long-term."
MyTinyTV is available for purchase for $59.00, which includes a full year
of free television listings. A complete list of system requirements is
available at http://www.mytinytv.com/reqs.html. Softel vdm is also seeking
pictures of customers using MyTinyTV in fun and unusual places; those whose
photos are chosen for display at MyTinyTV.com will receive $50. To learn more,
