While companies like Sling and Orb tout their ability to place-shift TV from the living room to the cell phone screen, a new study released Monday says that only 5 percent of Europeans expressed interest in watching TV on their mobiles in the next 12 months. Apparently, Europeans are more content with simply making voice calls and buying music, whereas 20 percent of surveyed Asian consumers say they'd watch TV on the really small screen.

Overseas users are all fine and dandy, but what about you? Would you be interested in watching TV on your cell phone?

TV just isn't that big of a part of my life to have to have it everywhere I go. Too much emphasis these days is put on 'being entertained' instead of 'entertaining yourself'.
