Ankita KatdareLooks like young and old alike have more reasons to cling on to their smartphones now. Just don't get your eyes off the screen.
I think that TV coming to a smartphone would only be great for people with bigger screens. Therefore, phones like HTC One MAX that offer 5.9 inch screen - as good as a tablet, but in an enlarged body is the way to lead for the gadget companies now. -
Satya Swaroop DashI want DTH companies to also introduce features that will allow users to choose specific channels instead of packages. By this sports enthusiasts will get to watch their favorite matches anywhere they reside. The DTH service providers should provide live stream in different file formats with different bit rates. This would mean when customers have access to Wi-Fi they can switch to high quality streams and when they are relying on mobile internet can opt for low quality stream to keep a check on their data limits.

Ankita Katdare@#-Link-Snipped-# True that. I wonder why no one is talking about a really good and cheap 3G mobile connection or a Wi-Fi connectivity option that is going to be a must for this app to run smoothly. Let us bring that first, people!
