January 7, 2005No let up in mobile innovation
Mobile phones have seen buckets of innovation over the past few years, but judging by what with we’ve so far, there’ll be no let up this year. TV on your mobile is newish, and Sanyo has been showing off their service, running via Sprint.
But of more interest was the real mobile TV, and Sanyo hopes to launch a range of phones in Japan at the back end of this year that have an antenna for phone reception and an antenna for receiving TV. It’s called Palm Top Digital TV, and images can be viewed in landscape or portrait mode.
Also on the stand was a concept 3G Mobile
Phone with Wireless Lan, and these smart looking phones have a double rotating
hinge. Again, images can be viewed in landscape and portrait, depending on
whether you are using it to make calls, take photos or play games.
Sanyo had no idea if it would release the
phone on show, but reckoned most of the features will end up in other phones on
the market.
