Arab Mobile Communication Studies

And this is where the mobile industry comes in as it is rapidly producing handsets for any and every conceivable demand.

And what consumers seem to be demanding, if the launches and the show are any guide, is TV on their mobile phones.

At the Cebit trade fair Nokia showed off its N92, which is due to launch later this year, which has a DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting for Handhelds) tuner built in as well as access to an electronic programme guide so you can plan what you watch on your handset.

Similarly LG launched its V9000 TV playing mobile at Cebit that has a screen that can be swung around 90 degrees so it is the right shape to show TV programmes.

Other TV capable handsets were available from Benq-Mobile - which took over the mobile arm of German hi-tech giant Siemens - and Samsung.

Mobiles companies compete to keep up with consumer demands
