LG announces DMB-enabled Pocket PC PM80

Colin Dunstan · 11-28-2005, 05:35 AM

Astute readers will recall how we prophesized the eventual dominance of mobile TV. In South Korea mobile TV is already reality with both terrestrial and satellite-based digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) services hitting the markets. Hence it's not a surprise that it's a Korean company, LG Electronics to be precise, who has now introduced the first DMB-enabled Pocket PC. The LG PM80 features DMB with enough battery to power 2.5 hours TV playback on a beautiful 3.5-inch QVGA screen. It's almost beside the point to mention that the PM80 is also available with GPS.

Availability in Korea: 11/28/05
Windows Mobile 2003SE
RAM 64MB / ROM 64MB
Intel Bulverde 312MHz CPU
SD Card slot
3.5-inch QVGA LCD screen
Battery: 1,420mAh with 2.5 hours of video playback
Stable DMB reception while moving at a speed of up to 100km/h
In white (MF-PM80T1W) and black (MF-PM80T1B)
Price: ~380 USD, ~570 USD (with GPS)
