Reactions to MobiTV. We didn't mention Sprint's new MobiTV television service for cellphones last week, mainly because we're completely underwhelmed by the prospect of paying ten bucks a month to watch choppy, one frame per second video on a cellphone. Douglas Rushkoff's column in The Feature this week echoes our sentiments, writing that the carriers are wasting their time trying to foist this on the public.

The Gametrac. The Tapwave Zodiac and the N-Gage might be getting some competition. A company called Tiger Telematics is coming out with portable game console called the Gametrac that runs on Windows CE .NET and can play MP3s and MPEG-4 video files, send and receive text messages, and will have a built-in digital camera, an MMC memory card slot, Bluetooth for wireless multi-player gaming, and GPS so that parents can keep tabs on where their kids are (something that will be a major downside to any kid who wants one of these). All of this sounds like a mighty tall order for one handheld device, so we'll see if the Gametrac sports all of these features when it actually comes out. Read [Thanks, Naser]... [Gizmodo]
