Yes.

That would be MobiTV.

well is it lots of digital artifacts like sample?

If you use it over GPRS, it sucks camel scrotum.

EDGE goodness (like I tested it on) or any other modern 2.5/3G network - and it'll rock your socks off.

I watch for the blond chick off CNN - worth the 9.99...and sometimes those Blogger chicks come on the mobcast version, too, they are hot...

Yes, hotness can make me justify ANYTHING

Depends on the picture. If it's relatively still, then you will get some artifacts as it is displayed, but within a secont or two it will clear up nicely. However if it's a moving scene, then it can look pretty bad.

Then there is the frame rate - it's fairly low, but acceptable for the channels they typically show (news type channels).

The sound is pretty bad with the Treo unless you use headphones. Then it is acceptable.

I have had it for about half a week and am not sure if I will keep it past my first month. However if you can't make it to a TV and need or really want to keep up on the news, it's handy.

how do i get my treo to use edge? my old z500a used edge but does the treo? because my treo is always logging in to gprs

If there's Edge available in your area the Treo will use it. There's no indicator though.
