Most iPhone owners would love to discover new ways to enhance their iPhones. While these mobile devices from Apple are known to be able to play videos in certain formats, portable TV tuners may be one thing lacking. Similar to the desktop PC, a TV tuner may be needed and that is exactly what this USB clip aims to deliver.

Called the SEG Clip, this USB clip from Japan allows users to enjoy TV viewing right from their very own iPhones. The SEG Clip supports 1SEG, a TV standards used in Japan, Peru and Brazil. One catch is that is should be hooked on to a PC’s USB port that will thereafter allow the user to stream digital TV data to their iPhone via WiFi connection.

Just in case you cannot finish watching the TV program, you can get a software called the TVPlayer which can save TV programs for later viewing. The program is free over at the Japan App Store.

Compatible with the iPhone 3G, 3GS and the iPod Touch, the SEG Clip will be released by the end of the month in Japan and will carry a $70 price tag.

When it comes to logging on to social networking sites like Facebook, subscribers just seem to want to log on and showcase images and some excerpts according to them. When they are away from their PC, the nearest device to use is the mobile phone on a limited capacity. But not anymore!

GoTV Networks, Inc., the industry’s largest mobile media network, today announced the launch of LiveFromYou, a new personal media application for mobile phones and social networks.

LiveFromYou automatically organizes pictures, videos, and other media for easy and instant sharing via an application widget loaded onto a user’s Facebook or MySpace page.

LiveFromYou curates and organizes media, whether it is currently present on the user’s social network page or ready to upload from a collection stored on a desktop PC, digital camera or mobile phone. Media is automatically presented in chronological order, either individually or grouped in user-defined albums on the innovative LiveFromYou timeline. When geo-code data is present, the media items or albums are also viewable on a map.

Who says you need the assistance of high-end and costly video equipment to make video communications work? Apparently that was all yesterday’s news. But today, thanks to technology and continuous development, you can experience and enjoy the fruits of new services courtesy of Vyopta, a premier video and unified communication solutions company.

Similar to mobile phone plans, the Vyopta Video Network service is available to subscribers at affordable monthly rates. Vyopta’s subscription-based approach enables customers to distribute many of the costs associated with visual communication solutions over many months. In addition, Vyopta offers a financing option to acquire video endpoints — such as conference room, desktop, PC and mobile systems — that are activated on the Vyopta Video Network.

The setup and activation process of a video endpoint on Vyopta’s Video Network service is simple. While some competing service providers require the provision of dedicated network solutions which can take up to 60 days, Vyopta’s services professionals can have a video endpoint system activated and connected within one business day. Once activated each video endpoint system is assigned a unique video “phone number,” making dialing a video call as easy as a phone call.
