If you’ve been dying to watch actual TV on your iPhone (or iPod touch), and happen to live in Japan, then you should check out I-O Data’s recently announced SEG Clip 1 seg iPhone mobile TV tuner.

To use this device all you do is plug it into a computer and then download a TVPlayer application from the App Store and you’re good to go.  Of course, you can’t watch live TV using this device as you have to save shows on your computer.

Anyways, you can pick up I-O Data’s SEG Clip 1seg mobile TV tuner for ¥6,615 or about $68 USD.
