Handphone TV



Not too long back, I had a posting on Nokia bootlegs being sold in Thailand and China. The Chinese has come up with yet again another innovative mobile phone that looks to me is something back to basics. It seems simple but yet something that did not catch on until recently.

The Chinese always seems to be first to dash from the starting line when it comes to introducing new catchy gadgets in the market. The recent release of Diamond smart phone from the makers of HTC unveils a slew of cool features in their TouchFlo technology again pipping Apple 3G I Phone for market release.

So with the introduction of this cool tv mobile phone above, one can watch pratically any terresterial channels by MediaCorp, so is there any reasons why consumers would want to pay $6 for Mio Mobile services in which for every 10min use of GPRS, one needs to pay $0.50 for every block used.

Again yeah, the resolution might not be as crystal clear vs Mio, but then again I have seen people using this mobile phone around Singapore. And I was told that the resolution is not as bad as one will expect. Looks like this is going to be a hit among those potato couch who simply cant get enough of TV at home.
