Vodafone Symphonia

This is very cool – Vodafone New Zealand had an idea – the idea was simply to use a collection of mobile phones with TXT alerts that – when received in the sequence – created a symphony : Tchaikovsky’s 1812 overture. It took 53 different ringtone alerts. Timed to imperfection. After a lot of practice it actually worked and Symphonia is the result.

I’ve always used Slingbox to watch live TV on my mobile device but TVCatchup have just launched a Beta iPhone service that allows you to watch 11 UK TV Channels straight from your iPhone.

It’s not an app but a web site that uses live streaming to your iPhone or iPod Touch. I tried it out this morning and it works great on 3G and WiFi.

To try it out for yourself just go to http://iphone.tvcatchup.com
