Broadcast Once, Watch Anywhere
Summary:
Digital broadcasting has recently emerged to bring live television to cell phones, PDAs, and other mobile devices. Such broadcasts carry not only video and audio, but also metadata, and even software applications, in a digital broadcast stream. The new JSR 272, Mobile Broadcast Service API for Handheld Terminals, aims to define a common Java API to control and access digital broadcast content from mobile devices.
