LG Unveils New Broadcast Phone

LG Electronics, the world's fifth-largest mobile phone manufacturer, on Monday unveiled brand-new broadcasting handset based on locally developed technology, reports The Korea Times .

The phone, weighing 170 grams, will be operated under homegrown technology called the terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB), which will be commercially launched from next year.

Terrestrial DMB allows people to enjoy seamless video, CD-quality audio and data on the move through mobile gadgets like cell phones or in-car devices.

``Up until now, terminals for terrestrial DMB were too bulky to carry and were not equipped with cell phone functions. We overcame such obstacles with up-to-date technologies,'' LG said in a statement."
