Operator Softbank in Japan announced that they will ship a tv-tuner together with a extra battery charger with the iPhone 3G. The 1-Seg tv tuner will deliver the tv signal via Wi-Fi. For this to work you will need to insert a small receiver in your bag or clothing and you will be able to watch 3H non-stop tv.

Softbank will start the sales of the 1-Seg with the iPhone 3G mid december. The device will work via a free 1-Seg application that will be downloadable from the App Store for free.

The application is not worth while as only Japan and Brazil support the 1seg signal.
