    I gotta say, the vericorder tech does impress me, and excites me for the possibilities it can have. As an avid conference goer, having a device like this would work wonders for shooting on the spot interviews and whatever else records you'd like to keep of the events.

    News side though, I'm a bit skeptical. Battery is my main concern. I know the iPhone's battery life isn't impressive, and using a device like must eat battery faster than you can say OMGAPPLEFAP. Breaking events and difficult-to-access coverage would work fine, but any kind of regular broadcast coverage leaves me skeptical.

    I'm not excited about yet more mass media, My experience is that the vast majority of it is simply noise; one or two relevant facts interspersed with an unyielding stream of supposition, flawed interpretation, condemnation, etc. I'm perfectly capable of drawing my own conclusions thanks.

    I'm going to be hyper pissed if this mobile TV standard is incompatible with DVB.
