The Mobile DTV standard is official (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/us-mobile-dtv-standard-finally-approved/), sure, but the device selection (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/29/lg-goes-nouveau-nostalgic-with-first-us-mobile-dtv-devices/) at this point isn't what we'd call plentiful or even appealing -- so leave it to CES to attract a virtually unknown company with an attractive alternative. Dubbed Tivit, the pocketable box is a said to be a bit smaller and lighter than a deck of cards and claims to stream television to a number of WiFi-enabled devices, including Windows laptops, Motorola Android phones (no clue why other Android devices wouldn't be in the running here), WiFi-equipped BlackBerrys, and even iPhone 3G / third-gen iPod touch (software via related App Store download). One charge gets you three hours of reception, and while that $120 price tag isn't too terrible a fee for keeping the phone you like, when the dongle launches in Spring, it better hope the channel selection is more interesting. Press release after the break. Gallery: Tivit promises to bring Mobile DTV to the iPhone and other WiFi-equipped mobile devices (http://www.engadget.com/photos/tivit/)
