Saw this in today's Intl Herald Tribune, but it isn't posted in the online version. Now oops, got to the link above via Google, but while testing it, now the New York Times is asking for registration. Just a few lines preview from it then:

Coming Soon: High-Definition TV Phones

By MATT RICHTEL, The New York Times

Published: October 21, 2004

Texas Instruments and a few other chip companies are trying to build combination cellphones and HDTV sets that will receive clear digital signals.

Miniature mobile phones, which already double as cameras, Internet devices and music players, are poised to merge with the largest of home appliances, the television.

The cellphone industry is working to build phones able to receive high-definition television signals over the air, even though HDTV has yet to make its way into most American living rooms.

Texas Instruments, the largest maker of computer chips for mobile phones, plans to announce today that it is developing technology that will allow wireless handsets to receive hundreds of high-definition channels. The phones would not be marketed until 2007.
