Posted by Darius Wey in "NEWS" @ 07:30 AM
"Signaling the next cutting-edge advance in its silicon TV tuner technology, Microtune(R), Inc. (Nasdaq:TUNE) today introduced a new family of high-performance, ultra low-power, multi-band tuners targeted for mobile handhelds, including cell phones, PDAs and other multimedia convergence devices. When integrated into portable handheld devices, the MT2260 tuner, the first member of the new Mobile MicroTuner(TM) family, permits users to watch multi-channel broadcast TV with full-motion digital pictures and CD-quality sound. Currently sampling with major handset manufacturers, the new MT2260 is the first single-chip tuner that enables handheld devices to operate across the networks allocated for mobile broadcast TV services in both Europe and in the U.S."
Anyone excited by a TV micro-tuner for PDAs? The inclusion of one on the Gigabyte Einstein appeared to receive a huge response by many people worldwide, so this may well be the start of a trend for such devices to be appearing in the market over the next few years.
