I have seen a number of sites lately including in eBay selling TV Phones. These phones give you the capability of watching few to air analog TV.

Now that we have camera, video and music players, analog FM radio, gaming capabilities built into phones nowadays, do toy think that TV will be the next big thing that will be built into mobiles?

well yea its possible.. like you can already get a tv tuner for your pc... some toshibas even have an inbuilt one..... i cant see why not I'd use it... I mean i have a samsung galaxy note which would be great for watching tv... I mean have you seen the Samsung Galaxy Beam..?? it had a projector in it which is nifty.. I've thought about getting one myself lol...

Having a TV tuner built into a tablet would be awesome. :-)

Its more than possible.. but it might be a bit of a battery drain. ohh and some tuners can be reasonably bulky.. but yes its defiently something we will see soon enough.. even in australia

I once owned a N97 tv phone, and biggest knock off ever! It was just awesome to show off to my friends.. These kind of phones are really popular in third world countries, although especially the dual sim ones.

The TV phones are marketed to China and Korea i think

I just realise that these type of phones will not be a hit, because tv analog frequency is staying to get decommissioned which means these tv phones will be useless.

A mate used to have a knock off iPhone with an inbuilt tv tuner. Worked ok as phone and tv, but couldn't access the iShop to download apps... was also much thicker than the real thing.
