Wow!
SEOUL (AFP) - South Korea's LG Electronics Inc announced that it has developed the world's first mobile handset capable of receiving terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasts (DMB).
The group said it had resolved problems surrounding the bulky terminal size and power consumption of previous terrestrial DMB terminals, which lacked mobile phone functions.
"This terrestrial DMB phone has opened up a new world where people can watch terrestrial DMB TV and simultaneously speak via a mobile phone," said Woo Paik, chief technology officer of LG Electronics.
LG Electronics built a standard home TV antenna function into the new phone to receive broadband DMB.
The group invested 20 billion won (18.3 million dollars) over two years to develop the terrestrial DMB phone. Some 130 researchers were involved in the project.
