There’s no telling if this product will ever ship, but PacketVideo was showing off a little “transmitter” for WiFi-enabled — and, presumably, non-WiFi — phones that allows you to serve content to almost any handset. They showed it at MWC last week and the little puck-sized server was sending video to a stock iPhone. It’s all very pie-in-the-sky, letting users view mobile content even when they’re not getting a mobile signal.
