Motorola has a long history of making cellphones, TV set top boxes, and other consumer electronics. Now it looks like the company is launching a product that sort of merges those two lines. The Mobile TV DH01 isn't a phone or a cable box, but it includes features of both.The DH01 is a mobile device with a 4.3 inch QVGA screen that can tune into live digital TV broadcasts. It can also play back video from a SD/MMC card, and more impressively, it can record TV on a card, storing up to 90 minutes of video on a 256MB card.
The Mobilte TV DH01 can play H.264 and MPEG-4 video, AAC and MP3 audio, and can display JPG, GIF, and PNG images. The DVBH digital video standard is widely used in Europe and Asia, but not so much the US. So while Motorola will be showing off the DH01 at CES in Las Vegas, I wouldn't count on being able to pick one up in the US anytime soon.
