SmartPhone with Free TV reception

Here’s something for our friends addicted to watching TV. The Modeo DVB-H is a SmartPhone capable of receiving and displaying free TV signals.

Modeo, the US company evangelising the DVB-H digital TV standard Stateside, is to offer a Windows Mobile 5-based smart phone capable of receiving and displaying such broadcasts. The handset, manufactured by Taiwan’s HTC, will go on sale in the second half of the year, the company announced yesterday.

The phone contains an Nvidia GoForce 5500 graphics processing chip, to be able to display the digital DVB-H broadcasts. Modeo doesn’t indicate in the spec sheets whether the phone is able to save shows onto memory, though.
