Phone designed for watching TV

Handset makers are racing to develop better mobile phone screens to meet expected demand for watching TV on the devices, reports Investors Business Daily.

"In Japan, where TV on phones already is becoming commonplace, Sharp announced a fall release of phones featuring 2.2-inch screens that offer contrasts of 2,000:1, about 4 times greater than current top screens.

The new phones also will be capable of receiving digital TV broadcasts, significantly expanding their capabilities since most phones are only able to show video downloaded from the Internet."
