Will bathtub-friendly mobile TV be the next must-have handset feature?
Japan’s NTT DOCOMO has taken the lifestyle phone idea to whole new level with its latest suite of handsets. One of the two TV phones in the operator's new 18-phone lineup, the P-10A offers a wide landscape screen and waterproof body. The other new TV handset, the SH-07A AQUOS, targets customers with a tuner that receives two mobile TV channels simultaneously. The phone also links easily to Blu-ray recorders.
Meanwhile, in the wake of its TD-SCDMA phone (the SGH L288) in April 2008, Samsung has unveiled its GT-I6320C TV phone bound for the Chinese 3G network. The GT-I6320C will operate on TD-HSDPA, TD-SCDMA, 3G and CMMB. When China granted TD-SCDMA 3G licenses to China Mobile in January 2009, Samsung jumped in to take advantage of the new technology. TD-HSDPA technology evolved from TD-SCDMA to let users download files at 2.8Mb/s — faster than TD-SCDMA.
