It's quite interesting to see a company announcing an accessory for a product they haven't even released yet, and, in fact, that's exactly what Nokia's doing right now with their Mobile TV Headset, designed to enable good-quality TV reception on the forthcoming N8 and other Symbian^3 devices to be released on the future.

According to Nokia, the Mobile TV Headset lets smartphone users tune into sports events or TV shows and watch them without worrying about an Internet connection, wherever there’s mobile DVB-H (Digital Video Broadband – Handset) coverage.

Furthermore, the company points out that DVB-H is also kinder to a mobile phone's battery life than Web TV solutions.

The headset handles call reception and volume in a similar way to other mobile headsets and also features keys for changing channels and music controls for the player on the handset.

Naturally (after all, there's an app for just about everything these days), there’s an app called Mobile TV available for compatible handsets that's either pre-installed on compatible devices or it can be downloaded from the Ovi Store.

As mentioned earlier, the Mobile TV Headset works with the forthcoming Nokia N8 and other Symbian^3 devices that come with the USB-on-the-go feature, is expected to cost €40 before taxes and will appear in Q4 2010.
