Gigabyte t600 (DVB-T Mobile TV) review

The Unwired has got a really nice, detailed review on the Gigabyte t600 device, which was been mentioned on IntoMobile a few times now. Whilst not having UMTS or GPS (which we are coming to expect as standard on high-end smartphones now), it does have a fully functional DVB-T tuner….
DVB-T I hear you say? Yes, indeed. This means that it is capable of picking up unencrypted Digital Terrestrial TV (DTT) signals. More than that, Gigabyte have been kind enough to include a software tuner utility, so that channels can be scanned and selected!
If this kind of device interests you, then go on over to The Unwired and have a read through – there are some great accompanying pics to go with the words too. I can’t help but think that for all the momentum around DVB-H, that including a simple DVB-T tuner in handsets does get round a lot of the network/infrastructure/device/costs issues that DVB-H currently has – and for that reason it gets a big thumbs-up from me!
Now, if I can just get my contact at Gigabyte to send me one…!
