Motorola has unveiled its latest
mobile device, the
Mobile TV DH01, which will be one of the first
mobile handsets to feature full
TV broadcasting.
The shiny black mobile device offers
audio and
video playback, but its main plus point is its ability to receive and play live TV over the air that's broadcast using the DVB-H standard. Mobile users have the choice of either watching TV as its broadcast, or by recording it directly to the player.
The
handset includes 128MB of
memory built in, along with an
SD card slot for those who may need more. According to
Motorola, around 90 minutes of video can be stored onto a 256MB
card, which plays at 25 frames per second on the 4.3-inch screen.
The
electronics giant also stated the Mobile TV can deal with on-demand content and comes with a
battery that can handle up to four hours of video .
Media files can also be transferred to the device for extra
entertainment via the handsets
USB slot.
Unfortunately, the device wont be arriving in
UK stores for the time being as
Europe has yet to adopt DVB-H as a mobile TV broadcasting standard, although EU
laws are looking at changing this.
