You can buy episodes of your favorite television show on iTunes and watch them on your iPod, or cap shows on your PC and move them to a portable video player of your choice. If you've got one of over 30 different cell phones and service with just about any US cellular provider other than Verizon, there's another option: MobiTV."
Ars takes MobiTV for spin on a Treo 750. Their thoughts? Check out the article for full details, but the short version is that there are currently too many dropouts, even on AT&T's 3G network. I'm guessing this is a technology that'll improve over time, as data networks become faster and more stable.
