Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) is the replacement of analogue coding with data compression in accordance with MPEG2. Video and audio source signals are separately processed to form digital data streams. This fundamental change in signal representation in the base band also affects TV measurement technology.

Skype offers us mere mortals free video and voice calls. We can also send instant messages and share files with other Skype users. Skype users can (if that wasn't enough!) make low-cost calls to landlines and mobiles. Have I been living under a rock.....making this happen in my home soon!

A 'Smartphone' is basically a mini computer and phone combination! As our all knowledgeable lecturer has stated a good smartphone can do everything a computer can do. Some of the features standard in a smartphone include, email, Internet browsing, full operating systems, GPS, camera and video capability, organizers, calendars, mp3 players, full keyboards, oh and of course the cell phone. Some smartphones also have touch screens, such as the iPhone and the newest Blackberry Storm.
The first ever smartphone was called Simon. Designed in 1992 by IBM and released to the public by BellSouth in 1993. It contained an address book, calculator, note pad, email, fax and games and by today's advanced standards is considered pretty limited.
There are several manufacturers of smartphones today, each running their operating system, including Apple's iPhone (pictured) which is one of the best sellers of smartphones.
