I’m Watching Television on my Phone; I’m so Old!
By: L Jones
The other day I signed up f or a free one month subscription for the navigation feature on my cell phone. My GPS in the car was acting up, so I decided what the heck; let’s see how this little feature handles.
Five days later, I hadn’t used the feature yet, but today is the day for new things. Ok, I have no idea where the navigation feature is on the phone, so I am searching. What I run into is the MobiTV feature. This little feature allows you to watch streaming television shows on your phone. I accidentally hit the activate button and was quickly warned that this feature uses up a lot of data and recommend that I have a plan in place.
So, you know me, I canceled going in, or so I thought. Next thing I know I am looking at the news on ABC. It caught my attention. I saw a <guide> button, so I pushed it and it listed all the channels I could get; the local networks, ESPN, SCI-FI and lots more. Needless to say, I opened up a chat session online with AT&T and I subscribed to the PDA Plan.
Life is good.
Oh yeah, I still have no idea where the navigation feature is. (smile)
