LG Electronics has proudly introduced the world’s first DMB 2.0 phone. Dubbed as the “Cafe Phone”, the LG SU420 comes with an integrated mobile TV receiver that supports DMB 2.0, making the consumption of multimedia on the go not only possible, but also interactive. FYI, the DMB (digital multimedia broadcasting) 2.0 is basically an interactive Internet-based television service that enables users to access a range of data-based services such as e-commerce, stock updates and personal video recordings to name a few. The LG SU420 features a 3.2-inch WVGA touchscreen LCD with a 3-megapixel camera, a built-in Wi-Fi, GPS, a 3.5mm audio jack and a microSD card slot. [Akihabara]
The KH1400 is a new T-DMB HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) phone from LG that comes equipped with 2.2-inch LCD, Bluetooth connectivity and supports video call, music player and optical sensor called ‘Digital Eye’. By adopting ‘Time Machine’ feature, the handset allows users to watch their missed DMB during phone calls. The KH1400 also offers PC-out function so users can enjoy the DMB via their notebook PC, a pretty cool feature. What’s more, the phone offers 3.6Mbps transmission speed enabling users to download 3MB MP3 track in just 7 seconds or 40MB music video in 90 seconds. Other features include 2M shooter, external memory, electronic dictionary, subway map and portable disk. The LG KH1400 T-DMB HSDPA phone retails for approx. $550 (after conversion). Since DMB (Digital Media Broadcasting) doesn’t exist everywhere, this phone is currently only available in Korea, but it would be great to have here (as opposed to other overhyped phones).
