— In this paper we examine the interaction and delivery requirements for Mobile TV. By comparing the features of traditional TV with current Mobile TV services we outline the design requirements for a future Mobile TV interface. The proposed design is implemented on an iPAQ and evaluated with end-users in a field trial. Preliminary results of the user study suggest that use of the interface is intuitive and successful in giving a TV-like experience. As a secondary study we investigate the bandwidth requirements for different types of TV content on a 3G phone and a PDA. The results reveal marked differences in bandwidth requirements for different content types. The findings are discussed in the context of future Mobile TV services.
