What are LG up to? For what are probably one of the leaders in tech convergence for Mobile, and as such are continually finding new and interesting combinations of features – check this out:
LG is launching the T80 in the Nordics (Denmark, for now) – the T80 is an mp3 player, but it also supports DVB-T – that is, not the “European standard Mobile TV” DVB-H (which to be fair is built on DVB-T), but from what info we have, the full DVB-T deal. But what does this mean?
Well, theoretically, digital terrestrial services could be picked up on this device (although I don’t fancy the battery life if you did) – clearly LG have a plan here – and those people in Denmark gotta be happy!
Apart from the DVB-T goodliness, here are some other specs:
- Supports MP3, WMA, OGG and WAV
- Suports MPEG-4 video
- 40 hours of (audio) battery life / 2 hours of DVB-T battery life
- 400×240-pixel touch-sensitive display
- 4GB of non-expandable internal memory
- Retailing for about 300 Euros
Interesting idea, not sure about the execution – no doubt though LG will have some more innovative tech feature mashups for Mobile devices in the coming weeks and months!

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
