[EAS] So THERE !!!

Exactly why I mentioned the absence of headphone jacks on the latest Apple,
Samsung and HTC products, and will be dumped from the next LG and Google
Pixel phones.  Which makes it a serious problem for an application reliant
on a headphone jack to serve as a mobile antenna.

Now, here's a different concept - for TV rather than radio on smartphones.
One little startup came up with a very cool add-on for smartphones ... to
put broadcast TV on the device.  https://quarterback.airwavz.tv/.  Still
hasn't hit the marketplace yet, but  I played with a beta version last year,
deep inside a building downtown DC.  And I was very surprised at the number
of TV channels it picked up.  Yes, it's more "portable" than mobile, given
ATSC 1.0's limitations on mobility, but it is rather neat nonetheless.

Chances are excellent that those that are promoting this really have not
experienced a cellphone with an FM receiver.
